"The drama activity allowed us to cover the objective in a fun and engaging way. The discussion points provided allowed me to stretch the understanding of my higher attaining students whilst still being accessible to all."
Molly. Y6 Class teacher
"We've used it across really from reception right up to year four. We've seen really great results. And the children are excited when we say, “Oh, we're doing a 'Let's Do Drama!' activity."
Nicky, Class teacher, Stoke
"The children absolutely love the drama strategies we have used, because it's low stakes - it's chatting, isn't it? It's not just everyone being silent; it's not getting to ‘straight to work’. It gives them the chance to chat, and the oracy side of things has really developed as a result of that. We’re really impressed with how it's gone."
Nicky, Class teacher, Stoke
"Let’s do Drama! brought a lot of joy to our Monday morning."
Poppy. Y2 Class teacher
"We have seen some great improvement in oracy when using these brilliant drama resources. "
Mo. English Lead
"The drama task allowed the class to direct their own learning, freeing up the adults to discuss it further with specific children."
Kamal. Science Lead
"I loved the squash babies and being a midwife. It was so good."
Nia. Child Y2
"The children love it because it's less writing time, which is great because they just want to talk and act and be children, which is perfect. But then when they do come to writing, they've got the knowledge and the vocab. If you've got no vocab, you can't write anything, can you?"
Nicky, Classteacher, Stoke
"I think we get the best results from the children when they are active. We like everything that the website brings to the table. We've really tried to develop our oracy skills but it hasn't necessarily gone through the curriculum as we'd have liked, and so it's given us a real chance to embed it – across science especially, which is my passion, and every activity that we've tried has given us such good success!"
Nicky, Classteacher, Stoke
"It was great fun playing Dr Kalmenius in the Phillip Pullman Clockwork role-play!"
Idris. Child Y5
"Let’s Do Drama is such a comprehensive resource for such a reasonable price."
