Welcome back! Our cast and creators are thrilled to be back for another school year full of learning, literacy, arts and fun - and so our new literacy musical, Back to Before, is in rehearsals this week!

While George's Marvellous Medicine features in our new literacy musical Back to Before, we thought we'd give you some suggested teacher resources for another of Roald Dahl's all-time classics, The BFG. 

Another freebie this week! Here are some suggested activities based on Oliver Jeffer's The Heart and the Bottle, which features in our literacy musical What's Your Story?, the last shows of which are fast approaching!

West End in Schools lead choreographer Mairi Cowieson worked with the children at teachers of KS2 at Berkeley Primary School, Gloucestershire to create an end of year show inspired by Michael Morpurgo's The Butterfly Lion.

Today, we're giving away a freebie! Here are some suggested activities based on Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are .

On Wednesday 19th July, while some were performing What's Your Story? in a nearby Essex primary school, and Singing in the Rain made its exit from the Palace Theatre (see the photo below!) , we made our way to the 4th Floor to record the tracks for our next literacy musical, Back to Before. 

As part of our Free Primary Masterclasses, on 6th June, West End in Schools and some inspiring teachers met at RADA to discuss Using Music as a Resource for Creative Writing.
