FAQs
Is there an ongoing cost?
After 12 months, there is a cost of £195 per setting, per year, to continue to access the curriculum. This is because our curriculum includes pre-recorded training to enable any staff who join during the year to learn how to deliver 'Dip into Drama' effectively. If you have no new staff who require training, you can simply end your subscription, and continue to use the lesson plans without a further fee.
What topics are covered?
The curriculum contains 78 individual lessons inspired by the following topics:
All About Me, Animals, Emotions, Festivals and Celebrations, Friends and Family, Much Loved Characters, Mythical Characters, People Who Help Us, Physical Health, Seasons and Life Cycles, Toys and Games, Transport, Who Lives in the Garden?
What happens in a lesson?
In each lesson, children play a drama game that takes place in an imaginary world, e.g., at the vet’s, in the ocean, at school, in space, or in the rainforest. They take on different roles, learn new songs and rhymes, dance, move, and share their thoughts, feelings, and ideas.
How long is a lesson?
Each lesson is structured in exactly the same way, and is designed to last approx. 20 minutes. However, when you first begin teaching the curriculum, you may find lessons only last around 10 minutes - and that is absolutely fine! As your confidence and familiarity with the curriculum build, you will soon find your lessons easily lasting twenty minutes.
What age is this curriculum for?
Children aged 2 - 5 years.
What’s the recommended number of children in each lesson?
There is no set recommended number. Space permitting, you can successfully teach 1 or 31 children!
How long does the pre-recorded training last?
It takes less than an hour to watch the training, which is in the form of short, manageable lessons which you can watch flexibly. You have access to this training for the whole year.
