Welcome to Primary School Workshops in Bournemouth
Primary schools across Bournemouth now have access to something completely different. At Giant Journeys, we bring learning to life through interactive workshops designed to spark excitement and curiosity in every child. Using cutting-edge Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality, we turn classroom topics into immersive experiences that help children think critically, ask questions confidently and retain knowledge far longer than traditional lessons.
Each of our workshops is hands-on, closely aligned with the national curriculum and tailored for Key Stage 1 and 2 pupils. Covering a wide range of topics including science, history, geography and sport, we provide everything needed for the day so teachers can focus on supporting and enjoying the learning experience.
We work directly in your school’s hall or a large classroom, and the sessions are designed to fit smoothly into your school timetable. Our approach ensures minimal staff workload, while pupils with additional needs are always factored into our delivery with inclusive and comfortable participation in mind.
Available Workshops for Bournemouth Primary Schools
We understand that children learn better when they are truly involved. That’s why our workshops are highly interactive, energetic and full of discovery-led learning. Here are some of our most popular options:
– CSI Journey: Pupils step into a gripping forensic mystery. They collect and analyse evidence to crack a diamond heist while learning key STEM concepts.

Why Schools in Bournemouth Keep Booking With Us
Teachers regularly tell us that our workshops are among the most engaging and effective learning days they’ve had all year. Pupils are captivated, eager to participate and often continue discussing what they’ve learned for weeks after. When learning is active, children retain more and enjoy the process.
Schools across Bournemouth look to us for learning interventions that genuinely support both students and staff. There’s zero hassle. We bring everything, run the sessions entirely and stay flexible to the needs of each group. That means teachers finally get a chance to look on, support students one-on-one and enjoy the thrill of discovery alongside the children.
Because every workshop is designed around the curriculum, it means schools are not just accessing enrichment but smart, timely and relevant delivery. Whether it’s dissecting a topic already under study or tying into a wider school initiative or themed week, we fit in where it matters most.
How to Get the Most Out of Your Workshop Day
We want every school in Bournemouth to get the full benefits of their booked session. Below are simple tips shared by other schools to help your day run smoothly:
– Book your school hall or a large classroom so there’s plenty of space for pupils and equipment.
– Help us work efficiently by grouping your classes around our session schedule. We usually work with one group at a time.
– Align workshops with your current curriculum. For instance, select the Human Body VR Journey during a biology term or the Space VR Journey when studying the solar system.
– Take memorable photos if your permissions allow. Children love revisiting their experiences visually, and it strengthens long-term learning.
Every school has different rhythms. Whether your session is part of Science Week, a season of thematic projects or planned as a pupil reward day, we deliver a custom-fit learning experience that makes education fun, energetic and unforgettable.
