Description
Summary:	This programme features a drama workshop for teachers from Newton Farm Primary School in Harrow, Middlesex, focusing on transferable techniques teachers can use in their own classrooms. After a session on warm-up techniques, the 14 teachers from the school work through the stages that their pupils might be asked to go through in their own lessons. These stages include: agreement, focus, visualisation, performance and evaluation. The techniques covered include thought- tracking, creating sound-scapes and creating body-scapes. An opportunity to see some useful drama techniques applied in real classrooms. The techniques seen in action here have been learnt by the teachers in a drama workshop shown in a previous programme. This programme features three teachers from Newton Farm School in Middlesex. Lara Miller is doing Medieval Castles with her Year 2 class. Ian Southerland and his Year 4 class use frozen pictures and thought tracking to get the most out of their Life in Tudor England project. And Gill Bland, teaching year 6, is working on the opening of The Hobbit in a literacy class. Both teachers and pupils reflect on their experiences. Follow three teachers as they apply useful techniques for teaching drama in classes in years 2, 4 and 6.
