Learning feels different when it is hands-on. For primary schools in Worcester, Giant Journeys offers something more than the typical classroom experience. Our creative workshops combine tactile learning with immersive technology, inviting pupils to explore science, history, geography and culture in exciting and relevant ways.
Whether you are planning a one-off experience or looking to enrich your curriculum more regularly, the sessions we deliver are fully mobile, tailored to your pupils’ year group and led by experienced facilitators. We bring the equipment and the energy, so your staff can continue teaching while pupils take on real-world challenges and explore mind-expanding journeys.
Our workshops are designed for primary-aged learners and can be adapted for various learning styles and abilities. Each session supports national curriculum outcomes while adding the spark of imagination your pupils will remember long after the day ends.
This forensic science workshop begins with a mysterious jewel theft. Pupils become detectives as they help solve the case of the missing Venus Diamond. Using forensic tools such as DNA building blocks, fingerprint kits and fibre analysis, pupils piece together evidence.
– Pupils reconstruct a DNA strand using building blocks
– Classrooms transform into mock crime scenes
– Evidence is gathered, examined and decoded together
– Teamwork pinpoints the culprit from eight suspects
This session strengthens scientific reasoning, observation and collaborative thinking.
Young palaeontologists explore replica fossils in our specialised dig boxes, uncovering bones of iconic dinosaurs like the Tyrannosaurus Rex, Stegosaurus and Triceratops. Using AR-enabled tablets, pupils bring these ancient creatures to life, gaining a vivid understanding of the Jurassic period.
For an exciting finale, your class can meet Reggie the Rex, our full-size animatronic dinosaur who roars, moves and entertains with fun interactions. This is one of our most memorable sessions.
Transport your pupils back to 1940 for a mission inspired by the real-life heroes of Bletchley Park. Pupils decode intercepted messages using methods introduced through physical activities, Morse Code relay games and logical reasoning challenges.
They learn how encryption evolved and why cryptography was essential during World War II. This workshop improves memory, problem-solving and historical understanding.
Our line-up of school workshops in Worcester goes far beyond dinosaurs and detectives. We offer a variety of cross-curricular sessions to tap into curiosity and expand understanding.
Our Human Body VR Journey gives pupils an inside view of the circulatory, respiratory and digestive systems. Using virtual reality, children explore the organs in motion, then reinforce their knowledge by assembling a life-sized artificial skeleton. It is an exciting way to blend science with active learning.
Embark on a Journey Through Space and take a VR tour from Mercury to Neptune. Pupils experience planetary features up close, capturing their awe and raising powerful questions about astronomy.
In this immersive experience, pupils explore bug habitats via 360-degree VR visuals. They observe how insects behave in streams, trees and underground colonies. It is perfect for learning about ecosystems and lifecycles in KS1 and KS2 science.
Led by a professional dancer, this session teaches traditional Indian dance through Kathak steps, Mudras and storytelling. Pupils learn about Diwali, symbolism, rhythm and cultural expression through movement.
Representing different countries, pupils go through a digital tour before trying Olympic-inspired challenges. From sprinting to virtual exploration of Ancient Greece, this active session ties together history, geography and PE in one lesson.
Using VR headsets, pupils dive beneath the waves to explore coral reefs, meet marine animals and witness environmental challenges affecting our oceans. It is ideal for geography, science and eco-awareness topics.
