We’ve got a guest editor this month: Mel Campbell, a Year 6 teacher from Essex.
Mel has injected some Christmas spirit into the issue, and a bit of theatre too! She’s put together some great FREE resources to get you in a seasonal mood, including seasonal music and poetry activities.
Subscribers, meanwhile, can access some fantastic interactive downloads exploring the history of theatre and the language of Shakespeare.
