Want to get to know Freshwater a bit better?Have your #burningquestions🔥 on how Freshwater Theatre Company works answered and book with us today ⬆️ . Find your perfect workshop to boost your teaching with drama, imagination and fun 🎭 ! We're a drama-in-education company, delivering workshops designed to use Drama as a medium of learning and approaching topics in a way which aniamates, engages and stimulates the children, while learning subject content. We provide workshops for up to 30 children, Large Group sessions, Assemblies and History shows and Days. We cover most primary school topics, including history, geography, english and science. You can browse our available workshops on our website or get in touch, tell us what you're looking for and we'll be happy to help! We suggest booking half a term in advance to best secure your prefered dates, though we can take bookings late if things crop up last minute. For our workshops, we can take up to 30 children. For History Shows, MFL workshops and Large Group sessions, we can take up to 120 children. Extra children can be negotiated with a small additional fee. We have teams of facilitators in Greater London, The South West, The West Midlands and the North, including Greater Manchester. We also travel to parts of Worcestershire, Warwickshire, Leicestershire, Liverpool and the Home Counties. However, we may need to charge an little extra travel fee to travel to these areas. We encourage our workshops to be accessible to all pupils, including SEND. We will always ask about details about the children with additional needs, so our facilitators can best include them in the workshop. We have also worked with specialist SEND schools, making bespoke adaptions to many of our workshops where needed.

Today I swam outdoors, started my Christmas shopping and read a bit of all of these books and the rules to Tatsu...

It's been hectic and I am trying to reset and find some peace.

A little was restored today 🌅🏞📚💚

We know it's the first day in school for many, so welcome back!

The start of term can be nerve-wracking for some children (and teachers too). That's why we have collated some of our favourite drama games to break the ice and spark some joy!
