KS2 Music, Dance, Drama and History - World War 1 Performance Pack

The programmes in this ‘Performance Pack’ from BBC Teach explore World War 1 through music, dance and drama, providing an ideal means to extend your study of the topic into Expressive Arts activities.

There are units of three programmes supporting each discipline, which may be used separately or together. Taken as a whole they may be combined to rehearse and perform our specially-written musical play for pupils aged 9 to 12 called Archie Dobson’s War.

The full range of resources available includes the playscript of Archie Dobson’s War, Teacher’s Notes, backing tracks of all the songs, incidental music to enhance your staging and a range of multimedia resources. The Pack enables teachers to link ongoing work in dance and music to the theme of World War 1 and also to stage a performance that will be both entertaining and thought-provoking.
