Some of the UK’s top comedy talent, including comedian Charlie Higson, Kerry Howard, Marcus Brigstocke and David Walliams, are calling on secondary school students to become classroom jokers for a new comedy writing competition.
The competition was launched on April 19, by the BBC in partnership with the National Literacy Trust.
The Comedy Classroom competition will give 13-15-year-olds across the UK the chance to have their work made and broadcast by the BBC this autumn. The winners will also have a chance to visit the BBC to see it filmed and receive a Comedy Classroom trophy, a signed certificate and a visit from a BBC Comedy comedian to their school.

There are a range of national and local resources and support networks available to reinforce and inform your own work developing creative teaching practices, creative learning and creative change. This infographic highlights many of them.
Dumfries and Galloway are offering five places for Art Teachers from other local authorities for a forthcoming outdoor residential course. Here are the details:
Art teachers have been using the outdoors as a stimulus is for a very long time. However, following a number of discussions I had with secondary art staff last year, it was apparent that they would welcome an opportunity to get together to exchange ideas as regards the use of outdoor spaces as well as a chance to work with professional artists in such environments.
I am delighted to be able to tell you that some funding to support such an event has been secured and will take place next term.
The course will begin on the afternoon of Thursday 5th May when we will meet up at Stronord Outdoor Centre near Kirroughtree. There will be a minibus running from Dumfries and attendees can be picked up en route. There will be sessions on the Thursday evening and Friday, with a workshop on textiles run by Jo Gallant on the Saturday, when I hope that we will be joined by Primary Art specialists. The course will finish at about 3pm on Saturday 7th May when the mini-bus will return to Dumfries.
The cost for the 2 day residential including mini-bus transport (where possible), all meals and workshops will be £10.
If interested, I’d be grateful if you could discuss this with your line manager and send me an email indicating your interest as soon as you can. Places on the residential are limited to a maximum of 20 and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
(If you are the Principal Teacher, I’d be grateful if you could forward this to members of your department who might be interested.)
Many thanks
Keith Walker

Primary 5-7: Lost at Sea (in schools)
Catherine Wheels premiered a new production at the Edinburgh International Science Festival in April 2016. Lost at Sea was commissioned as part of EISF ‘Science in the Spotlight’ project which aims to bring together the wonder of theatre with science communication.
The journey begins with a boy and a girl, fascinated by the story of 28,800 bath toys that accidentally ended up flung into the unrelenting currents of the Pacific Ocean.
Their investigation sees them uncover the mysteries of the sea and discovering its importance to every one of us on earth.
This production is now available for touring into school halls in Scotland in February and March 2017.
Full details are on the attached. I have also attached one of the recent reviews, from The List.
Booking are made direct with schools or through local authorities. Please let me know if you are interested in booking a block of dates or would like to work with us to get Catherine Wheels into more schools in your area.
I look forward to hearing from you.
