Zozimus Drama sessions are immersive, story-led experiences guided by our central character, Bertie Bear, who supports children in stepping inside familiar narratives and engaging as active participants.

Bertie is used as a dynamic teaching tool rather than a static puppet. Within each session, children are introduced to a range of characters, with Bertie frequently adopting different roles to model imagination, characterisation and role-play.

This approach encourages children to explore narrative from multiple perspectives and supports the development of imaginative thinking and expressive communication.

Each session includes:

• structured role-play and movement-based activities

• interactive storytelling and character exploration

• problem-solving and collaborative challenges

• opportunities to explore emotions and relationships

Through these experiences, children develop confidence, communication and creativity while engaging with key areas of the EYFS.
