Interactive Educational Workshops for Primary Schools in Cambridge
Schools across Cambridge are always looking for exciting new ways to bring subjects to life. At Giant Journeys, we make that possible with hands-on, immersive workshops tailored to primary school classrooms. Using our own VR and AR equipment, combined with interactive storytelling and real-world scenarios, our sessions inspire children to learn deeply through experience.
We travel to schools throughout the Cambridge area with fully developed educational journeys, each designed to support the primary curriculum. Whether it’s solving a mystery, excavating fossils or decoding wartime secrets, our workshops offer pupils a practical way to connect learning with the world around them.
Tailored Workshop Delivery, Right in Your School
We work around your school, not the other way around. Every session is delivered by a trained facilitator who brings everything needed for the day, from specialist materials to full setup. Our workshops are designed to run with one class at a time, making it easy for teachers to manage the day while ensuring every pupil gets a complete experience.
Each session is:
– Delivered by DBS-checked, experienced facilitators
– Tailored by year group, with full consideration for additional support needs
– Fully equipped with specialist resources and technology
– Flexible to fit into PE halls, large classrooms or similar indoor spaces
Whether you’re planning for Science Week or want a curriculum-linked enhancement day, we help create lasting learning moments in a way that’s smooth and stress-free for your school.
CSI Journey: Real-World Science in Action
Our CSI Journey is one of the most popular educational workshops for primary schools in Cambridge. Rather than being passive observers, pupils become active investigators, piecing together evidence to solve the mystery of the missing Venus Diamond.
What they’ll learn:
– The basics of forensic science including DNA, fingerprinting and fibre analysis
– How to secure a crime scene and collect evidence like real investigators
– How to analyse data and present their case as a team
This workshop develops analytical thinking, teamwork and presentation skills, all while aligning with KS2 science objectives. It’s ideal for boosting science engagement across the board.
Jurassic Dig Journey: Explore the World of Dinosaurs
Who hasn’t dreamed of finding a dinosaur fossil? In our Jurassic Dig Journey, that dream becomes a reality as children dig through sandboxes, uncover ancient bones and identify prehistoric creatures like the Triceratops and T-Rex.
AR technology brings a modern twist, allowing animated dinosaurs to step into the classroom and interact with pupils. It’s not just memorable — it’s scientifically rich and incredibly fun. For those looking to finish the day with a roar, Reggie the animatronic T-Rex makes a special appearance that always leaves a lasting impression.
WW2 Codebreaking Journey: History Comes to Life
Step back into 1940 and take on a mission from Bletchley Park in our WW2 Codebreaking Journey. Pupils learn how to decode intercepted messages using real Enigma-inspired challenges and physical ciphers.
Through movement and deduction, children learn Morse Code, gain an understanding of cryptographic history and connect deeply with World War II topics. This workshop is a great tool to spark interest in history while teaching collaboration and problem-solving.
