British Values Workshop

Altru

We think drama is a fantastic way to learn about British Values as it allows the children to digest and retain the information through acting.

Our workshops give your children a chance to work creatively through engaging drama games and activities.

This immersive way of working helps the session to be completely engaging and live long in the memory of the children.

Altru Drama Days always create a real buzz in school as everyone is learning and having fun!

Click to read full text Our Three British Values Days:

British Values: The Law

This Learn and Present is focused on democracy in the UK. How laws are made and upheld and how our country has developed over the years.

British Values: History

This Learn and Present takes a look at the rich history of the UK, with a particular focus on the moments in history that have contributed to the society we live in today.

British Values: Rights and Responsibilities

This Learn and Present is all about exploring our rights and responsibilities as British citizens.

Each Learn and Present is distinct and unique, so the same class could do all 3 Play in a Days to get the full picture, or you could offer them to different year groups to spread the knowledge. You can, of course, just pick one and have that alone – as a great introduction to British Values and what it means to us.

The structure of a Learn and Present:

- We start with warm ups and ‘getting to know you’ activities
- Then we move on to exploring the topic, through games and activities.
- We begin work on the play – the class include their own ideas and opinions and develop scenes, songs, poems and raps to go into the performance. Children are not given scripts, lines are delivered aurally and remembered through action & repetition – this makes the Learn and Present format totally accessible and inclusive.
- We reinforce learning and understanding throughout the day through questioning, break out activities and plenary games.
- Around 2:30pm your invited audience arrive – this can be another class, the rest of the school and/or parents.
- The performance takes place – children put everything they’ve learnt into practice.
Following wild applause, children are presented with a certificate and your class teacher gets a lovely resource pack of follow up activities to do in class.
