Available Workshop Journeys for Chester Primary Schools
We currently offer ten engaging school workshops in Chester, used by schools for enrichment days, Science or History Weeks or to strengthen curriculum topics. Below are some of our most popular journeys.
The CSI Journey transforms your school into a live crime scene. Pupils collect evidence, analyse fingerprints and unravel the mystery using real forensic science techniques. It is perfect for enhancing science learning and team-building.
The Jurassic Dig Journey is ideal for younger pupils. Children become palaeontologists for the day, excavating fossils and identifying them using Augmented Reality. Reggie, our life-size animatronic T. rex, often makes an appearance, and he never fails to impress.
In the WW2 Codebreaking Journey, pupils step into the 1940s and break secret messages using Morse code and cipher wheels. This immersive session deepens historical understanding through problem-solving and engagement.
Other exciting options include the Space VR Journey, guiding pupils across the solar system; the Human Body VR Journey for an inside look at anatomy and organs; and the Indian Dance Journey for a cultural experience rich in movement and meaning.
Every experience is carefully structured yet flexible enough to adapt to your pupils’ needs. Whether it is a high-energy group or a quieter class, we navigate each session to meet your teaching goals.

Designed Around Your Pupils
Our mobile format is ideal for Chester schools of all sizes. We are often invited for themed days or weeks, but our workshops also integrate easily into ordinary school schedules. This flexibility means you are not adapting to our timeline — we adapt to yours.

The Right Fit for Chester Classrooms
Teachers across Chester — from city centre to Hoole and Blacon — are turning to Giant Journeys to deliver deeper, more interactive learning without the extra pressure. Whether your goal is to introduce a new topic or provide a hands-on learning boost, we support your efforts with exciting experiences that stay with pupils long after the session ends.
One Chester school used our MiniWorlds VR Journey as an introduction to their ecosystems topic. The class spent the entire week fascinated with what they had seen. That’s what happens when you turn observers into active learners.
Making Learning Stick
We know teachers are managing packed schedules and high expectations. Giant Journeys helps bring those imaginative lesson ideas to life — without the burden of arranging a trip or sourcing your own resources. When pupils see, hear and interact with the subject matter, the learning becomes theirs.
Whether it is assembling a skeleton, breaking wartime ciphers or coming face-to-face with a T. rex, the result is the same: pupils learn more because they are fully involved. Our aim is not just to educate, but to inspire.
