Any ideas for topics for teaching the creative curriculum for this term to year 5?

I am looking for an interesting topic to use as the basis for a creative curriculum idea this term for my West London Y5 Class. Any ideas or advice would be appreciated. The topic should be able to cover Literacy, Art, Drama, DT and Humanities

5 year old students have short attention spans. Body language helps to keep their attention. Start with an empty stage and with the class you will write and/or produce a play. The students will need to create the stage with all props and back drops. They will need to have knowledge of the story line in the play. Acting parts can be assigned, studied and learned on an individual basis. Group activities can include painting the back drops and dressing the stage. All aspects of the production can be explored. Who will run the light? If you don’t have lights, what will you need to problem solve? The same for props and stage set. Structure so they work through the whole project, Then present the play. They will learn and contribute a lot and build confidence in their learning through participation. They will have to think, reason, work, create, study, present and so forth…a fun project that is easy to manage with a great deal of creating a learning environment.
