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. 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.

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. There are units of three programmes supporting each discipline, which may be used separately or together. The programmes in this ‘Performance Pack’ explore World War 1 through music, dance and drama, providing an ideal means to extend your study of the topic into Expressive Arts activities.
