Workshops

We specialise in creating stimulating, expressive workshops using simple drama techniques, recorded music, theatre props and intelligent materials to help encourage learning through play.

Each workshop facilitates your children’s learning in the following areas:

  • working together as part of a team
  • physical development
  • imaginative play & the expressive arts
  • language & literacy
  • and having fun!

It was refreshing & stimulating to see the possibilities for drama/story telling with Foundation Stage. I feel that my creativity has been re-invigorated.

To provide a structure and framework for the activities to take place we have developed workshops that link in to the following texts and topic areas:

Going On A Bear Hunt

A chance for all children to explore the environments of the story through the use of age appropriate materials.

The Gruffalo's Child

Follow the Gruffalo’s Child in his quest for the Big Bad Mouse giving children a chance to dramatise parts of the story.

Learning Through Stories From Around The World

Interactive stories from Africa, India and Poland enable children to become part of the story and act out fish, monkeys and even dragons. The children get chance to create the environments from the story with simple but carefully selected materials.

Under The Sea

Come to the seaside and join Barnacle Bill as he hauls in his catch of the day and takes you on an adventure beneath the waves to explore the secrets of the deep.

Space Adventure

Your children will be joined by Captain Sparks, who is visiting from the space station in the sky! Catch onto the tail of the comet to take you into space and explore new planets and stars and even meet an alien or two!

The Wind And The Sun

Explore the weather through Aesop’s famous tale and let your children join in the fun competition between windy Gusto and joyous Sunshine as each tries to prove their power.
