Interactive Educational Workshops for Bolton Primary Schools

Investigate a Diamond Heist with the CSI Journey

Our CSI Journey sends pupils straight into a gripping scientific investigation. A valuable diamond has vanished from a high-security vault. Your pupils transform into forensic scientists applying real-world techniques, including:

– Analysing DNA profiles, fibre samples, and fingerprints

– Studying bloody footprints and examining blood spatter patterns

– Constructing DNA strands using tactile models

The session culminates with pupils reviewing evidence to identify the culprit from a list of suspects. Immersive and investigative, this workshop is ideal for STEM days and is designed to suit different year groups and abilities.

Step Into the Past with the Jurassic Dig Journey

Fossils, excavation, and dinosaurs always fire up children’s imaginations. In our Jurassic Dig Journey, pupils conduct their own mini palaeontology dig in a giant sandbox. They uncover and categorise fossils from dinosaurs such as the Triceratops and Stegosaurus.

The experience continues with AR tablets that bring these prehistoric creatures to life in front of them. They compare scale, examine diet and behaviour, and visualise habitat ecosystems in an extraordinary way.

To amplify the experience, Reggie the animatronic T-Rex can visit your school. Pupils will be wide-eyed as he blinks, roars, and strolls through your hall, creating a moment they will never forget.

Crack the Code in Wartime Britain

The WW2 Codebreaking Journey transports children back to 1940s Britain. The task is urgent: decode a classified wartime message before it’s too late. Learners explore historical codebreaking methods through:

– Morse code transmissions

– Logic puzzles and cipher wheels inspired by the Enigma machine

– Strategic teamwork relayed in real-world scenarios

It’s an immersive way to blend history, mathematics, and critical thinking through a challenge-based journey full of discovery.

Virtual Journeys for Science and Nature

Explore the solar system without stepping outside your classroom. From landing on planets to flying through nebulas, the Space VR Journey gives children a galactic perspective they will never forget. With VR headsets and vibrant visuals, pupils are guided across planets from Mercury to Neptune in real time.

For younger explorers, our Miniworlds VR Journey introduces pupils to life on a smaller scale. They study insects, microhabitats and ecosystems in a highly visual and interactive way that inspires inquiry and observation.

Explore the Human Body Like Never Before

In our Human Body VR Journey, learners see how their own bodies function from the inside. They follow oxygen as it circulates, track the digestive process, and witness organ systems in action from a first-person perspective. AR resources and VR visuals are combined with a collaborative hands-on task where pupils assemble a life-size skeleton, reinforcing key biological concepts in a tangible way.

From Athletics to Ancient History: The VR Olympic Workshop

This unique session blends sport with historical discovery. Pupils explore Ancient Olympia through VR before competing in physical activities using stopwatches, lane timers, and friendly team spirit. Designed to promote physical engagement, this workshop is ideal for PE Week, Olympic-themed topics, or international studies.

Cultural Discovery through Indian Dance

Celebrate storytelling, tradition, and diversity with our Indian Dance Journey. Pupils learn Kathak, a classical Indian dance rooted in rich narrative expressions. They explore cultural symbols, precise movement, and shared storytelling traditions—all while being active and creatively involved.
