Yorkshire rock band, Being 747, have been commissioned to produce a brand new musical show to tell the story of the natural and social history of the Dearne Valley area of South Yorkshire. ‘In The Valley’ has been designed to educate and entertain in equal measures as a 45-minute production that will include: Seven ultra-catchy pop songs played by a live band, audience engagement and narrative, full multi-media visual show and a load of daft props and costumes. The show will be touring schools in the South Yorkshire area from spring 2011 onwards

The production targets particular age groups in schools: Y5 & 6 primary and Y7 & 8 in secondary schools, although the show is just as relevant and enjoyable for older students too. Key aims of the production are:
· To explain the water cycle with particular reference to the River Dearne · To increase understanding of the causes and consequences of river flooding and the choices involved in managing floods · To involve the children in their local area and especially the ways it has changed over time and the possibilities for change in the future · To develop the children’s appreciation of environmental issues through the focus of their local area – The Dearne Valley
‘In The Valley’ has full relevance to aspects of the Key Stage 2 & 3 National Curriculum in Science, English, Geography and History. The show can be performed in your school – providing a compelling and cross-curricular learning experience with real ‘wow factor’.
