Below is a closer look at some of the top workshops available in Bury.

CSI Journey: Investigate the Crime

Perfect for budding scientists and problem-solvers, the CSI Workshop turns children into forensic investigators. Starting with a fictional diamond heist, pupils use footprint analysis, fingerprinting, fibre tests and their own model DNA to work through all the clues and solve the story. It’s STEM in action and ideal for a full-day school event.

Jurassic Dig Journey: Explore Dinosaur Discoveries

In our Jurassic Dig, children take on the role of palaeontologists. Using dig boxes, they uncover fossils from creatures like Tyrannosaurus Rex and Stegosaurus. With the help of AR books and tablets, they see the dinosaurs come alive and learn about their size, diet and ecosystem. You can even add a visit from Reggie, our life-sized animatronic dinosaur, to leave a lasting impression no pupil will forget.

WW2 Codebreaking Journey: Crack the Communications

Transform your history lesson with this World War II-inspired session where pupils become junior codebreakers. From decoding Enigma-style messages and learning Morse code to understanding encryption models from the past, this workshop mixes intelligence challenges with hands-on teamwork. Suitable for various abilities and easily adaptable to different year groups.

Explore Even More Journeys for Your Pupils

Alongside our crime scene investigations and dinosaur digs, Giant Journeys offers a wide range of educational workshops for primary schools in Bury designed to bring learning to life.

Space Adventure VR Journey

Take a virtual trip into space as pupils orbit Earth, glide past Saturn and step onto Mars. Using VR headsets, they explore the solar system while learning about planetary features and space exploration in an immersive, unforgettable way.

Human Body VR Journey

Shrink down and explore the inner workings of the body. Pupils experience the human body from the inside, watching organs like the lungs and heart in motion. The session ends with a collaborative task to build a life-size skeleton, helping children solidify their learning in a tactile way.

Miniworlds and Under the Sea VR Journeys

Miniworlds lets pupils explore the hidden world of insects and invertebrates, encountering bugs in their natural microhabitats. Under the Sea, on the other hand, brings the ocean to your school hall as children immerse themselves in coral reefs and the deep sea. Both are ideal for supporting science units on habitats and ecosystems.

Sport VR Journey

Combining technology with physical education, this session allows children to virtually visit countries around the world and then participate in Olympic-style challenges. With laser gate sprints and reflex games, it’s a high-energy addition to any topic on nations, history or health.

Indian Dance Workshop

If your class is focusing on cultural traditions or world religions, this workshop teaches the vibrant Kathak dance from India. Through rhythm, movement and storytelling, pupils gain insight into Hindu festivals like Holi and Diwali while developing confidence and coordination.
