Our Relationship Education programme runs on a two-year cycle (Cycle A and B). Each year, we will deliver three theatre-in-education resources for Years 1 to 6 over the course of one day (or two days for schools with three-form entry or more).

YEARS 3 & 4

CYCLE A

Harry and Kate are twins. Tomorrow it’s their birthday. It’s an exciting time as they prepare for the party and look forward to receiving presents... lots of presents. But as they fight and bicker over who will get the best gifts, their parents challenge them to consider how they can make a gift of themselves... to each other. Harry and Kate soon realise that making “a gift of self” is not as easy as it sounds.

THE GIFT explores relationships between friends and within families, and it helps children to develop strategies for selflessness.

CYCLE B

Anthony and Charlotte are brother and sister. At school, they are learning about what it means to be a servant and to serve each other. Through their own experience of being a ‘master’ and ‘servant’ to each other – both with upsetting consequences – they discover the deeper meaning of serving others. They hear a story about the ‘Servant King’ which helps them to better appreciate how to help and love others.

MASTER AND SERVANT helps children to find happiness by loving and serving others instead of using others for their own benefit.
