Moving on Up 
A six week issue-based drama project working in a local special school with year 6 children. The project is aimed at raising children's self esteem as well as their expecations about secondary school. During the six weeks, we explored the children's fears and concerns such as bullying and making new friends, as well as practical ways of dealing with these issues. The project ended in a performance to family and peers.
Thank you for helping us to complete the work preparing our children for the big move to secondary schools. You helped to add the final polish.
