This play script has been written based on the F. L Baum story of The Wonderful Wizard of OZ. This is suitable to be performed in upper stages of primary/early secondary. I have adapted the script to make the performance approximately 1 hour 15 mins if you include songs at the suggested points in the song. I have also included a list of characters required, costume plot and song plot. Due to the licensing surrounding the film and music from it, it is suggested you select other appropriate songs to suit the storyline. This is a super choice for a school drama group or club to perform as a school show. It’s well known and popular with audiences and performers alike and this version gives the school a lot more autonomy over the musical elements or can be used as a play only. There are lots of large and small speaking roles and singing can be chosen to suit. This particular script is © to PMarshall at SoundsDramatic. All Rights Reserved.

The Famous Inventors Project is one that aims to bring Enterprise in Education together with other curricular areas, focusing on S.T.E.A.M. The purpose of the project is for children to learn about Famous Inventors, select a famous and life changing invention to redevelop and design for use in the future then develop and run a mock business to make and market their product. The project culminates in a day of presentations and pitches, allowing the children to demonstrate their learning over the course of the project. This project not only meets many of the experiences and outcomes of the CfE/NC, but can help children develop towards the four capacities, as well as giving a real and relevant context to their learning with a perceivable goal to work towards.

This booklet has reminders and revision for many of the basic concepts in Maths and Numeracy, such as Place Value, Addition/Subtraction, Multiplication/Division, Time, Fractions and Weights and Measures. The purpose of the booklet is for extra reinforcement and information for those pupils who can struggle to retain the concepts and language of Maths.

For example, when attempting correct layout of sums they can check the booklet to remind themselves of what to do without extra teacher input. This has proven a helpful tool for many pupils who lack confidence in maths and numeracy.

An introductory Powerpoint, planner, worksheets and summative reflection activity are all included in this bundle as well.
