Virtual lessons and resources are available to support primary teachers to increase their confidence in planning and delivering the dance, drama and music curriculum.
The performing arts provide children and young people with a range of developmental benefits. Through the arts, students develop their creative and expressive capacities and learn through the exploration of their personal, cultural and social worlds.
Use the below resources to help create lesson plans that engage and inspire your students to reach their creative and expressive potential.
