Interactive Learning That Sticks

Memorable learning happens when children are fully engaged. That’s why all Giant Journeys experiences are designed to be active, visual and participation-driven.

In our CSI Journey, pupils investigate the case of the missing Venus Diamond. They explore a crime scene filled with realistic clues like blood spatter, shoe prints and fingerprints. As they work through the evidence, they uncover how forensic science is used to solve real-life mysteries. It’s a STEM-packed adventure that brings logic and science to life.

Prefer a step back in time? Our Jurassic Dig Journey lets children embrace their inner palaeontologist. Digging through sandboxes for fossilised remains of the Stegosaurus, Triceratops and ferocious T-Rex keeps them searching for answers about extinction and evolution. Our Augmented Reality tablets let the dinosaurs come to life, right before their eyes.

Our WW2 Codebreaking Journey blends history and critical thinking. Using cipher wheels, Morse code and physical memory games, pupils work to break enemy messages and shift the tides of a simulated war. It mixes team-based problem solving with historical immersion, making it an ideal fit for World War II topics.

More Workshops That Wellingborough Schools Love

We’ve developed a range of workshops to suit every school’s theme week, enrichment day or curriculum focus.

The Human Body VR Journey takes pupils inside the systems and organs of the human body. Through VR headsets, they travel through veins and organs before building a full-size skeleton together. It’s an ideal extension for science-based topics.

The Space VR Journey transports pupils across the solar system, giving them a close-up view of planetary orbits and celestial features. It’s a great way to inspire inquiry and embed key concepts around Earth and space.

Our Miniworlds VR Journey lets learners shrink down and experience the lives of minibeasts up close. Whether it’s understanding habitats, pollination or animal life cycles, this is an excellent tie-in for science and nature topics.

Active and Cultural Workshop Options

We also offer engaging experiences that promote physical activity and cultural awareness.

The Sport and VR Journey energises your pupils by combining global awareness with Olympic-style challenges. Pupils choose a country, learn about its heritage using VR, then complete physical tasks like sprinting through our laser gate in an effort to beat official records.

The Indian Dance Journey builds inclusivity and mindfulness through movement. Pupils learn Kathak dance techniques and explore Indian culture using traditional gestures and storytelling. It’s perfect for supporting cultural week, RE curriculum or broader pupil development.

To finish on a roar, our unforgettable Dinosaur Visit brings Reggie the animatronic T-Rex to your school. He walks, roars and interacts with pupils while they examine real fossils and learn more about prehistoric life. It’s an assembly showstopper they won’t forget.
