Primary Drama Ideas Swapshop (Members)
Primary Drama Ideas Swapshop (Members)
Bring one Primary Drama Idea - and take away loads more!
This popular "swapshop" format that we have developed generates loads and loads of ideas and materials so we thought Primary teachers would find it really useful.
There seems to be a real upsurge in interest in how drama will fill the new Primary Curriculum with excitement and inspiration.
After several courses focusing on Primary drama we detected the need for members to take time to exchange ideas and to share their own successes. Our experienced Primary Drama members will be on hand to share cross curricular ideas and answer practical questions but we also hope you will bring along some successful ideas be it a just a drama game or a developed piece of work.
Time given to take notes.
Monday 21st June 2010: 6.30-8.30pm (Registration 6-6.30pm) at Central School of Speech and Drama.
