Can you help me with my homework?
Unfortunately it's not possible to do your homework for you, but here are a few ideas to help you complete your task:

• Visit the BBC Schools homepage to find out whether there's a website relating to your homework - www.bbc.co.uk/schools.



• Use BBC Search. Type one or two words into the search box then click the 'Search' button - www.bbc.co.uk

Our school would like to stage a performance of a play we heard on the BBC. How do we get permission to do this?
These productions are already cleared for performances by schools (except Bugsy Malone) provided that no charge is made for admission. It's only necessary to ask for permission when a charge is being made for tickets. Should you wish to use the event to raise funds it's acceptable to seek donations as this is voluntary and does not constitute an admission charge.

I'm a teacher - where can I get a video of a programme for use in the classroom?
Both BBC Worldwide Learning programme catalogue www.bbcbroadcastlearning.com and BBC Schools Shop www.bbcschoolshop.com, can help you locate resources for your classroom.
If you're unable to find what you're looking for, it's possible that this product is no longer available. Please check with BBC Children's Learning (0870 830 8000) before you give up, as the item may have been replaced with a more up-to-date resource.
