School workshops in Harrogate can combine education, engagement and excitement when delivered by Giant Journeys. Designed specifically for primary school pupils, our sessions merge practical activities with immersive technology to create truly memorable learning experiences. Based in Northampton, we bring these workshops directly into schools across Harrogate, offering a powerful, curriculum-aligned way to enrich the classroom—without the hassle of arranging off-site trips.
Each workshop aligns with UK Key Stage learning objectives, supporting teachers with ready-made, high-quality enrichment that inspires thinking, teamwork and exploration. Whether you’re seeking a new approach to STEM, history or cultural topics, our workshops give pupils a reason to be excited about every subject.
In this hands-on science investigation, pupils take on the role of crime scene investigators following a staged jewellery theft. They gather evidence such as fingerprints, hair fibres and DNA, learning real forensic techniques along the way.
Children love the collaborative environment as they:
– Explore a recreated crime scene delivered in-school
– Work in teams to solve puzzles and analyse samples
– Build and interpret simple DNA models
– Apply logic, questioning and observation skills
Flexible and inclusive, the CSI Journey is ideal for any class group, including those with additional needs. It works brilliantly as a Science Week activity or a day-long STEM event.
The Jurassic Dig Journey brings the prehistoric era to life for pupils across Harrogate. Young fossil hunters dig through specially created sandboxes, uncovering dinosaur remains while learning what they can tell us about creatures like Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Using tablets and AR books, children watch ancient animals appear in 3D, bringing classroom learning into clear, visual focus. This session is unique, exciting, and often topped off with a visit from our animatronic dinosaur, Reggie.
Transport pupils to 1940s Britain, where as young codebreakers they must intercept and decode messages to help the Allies. This workshop is packed with problem-solving as pupils learn pattern recognition, cryptographic principles and Morse Code—all through physical movement, team games and narrative play.
The content adapts to suit both younger KS2 children and upper primary learners. It ties into wider topics including World War II, communication and logical thinking.
Looking to bring big concepts to life in the classroom? Our VR and AR educational journeys allow children to explore everything from outer space to the human body without leaving their school site.
Our VR Journeys include:
– The Human Body Journey, where pupils travel inside major body systems
– The Space Journey, offering a walk-through tour of the solar system
– The MiniWorlds Journey, shrinking pupils into the hidden world of bugs
– The Under the Sea Journey, exploring marine habitats and ocean life
Each experience blends virtual exploration with hands-on tasks that reinforce learning and cater to different learning styles.
Bring Culture and Movement Together
Our Indian Dance Journey introduces children to Kathak, one of India’s oldest classical dance styles. Pupils learn hand gestures called Mudras, body control, and storytelling techniques grounded in religious and cultural traditions.
Ideal for supporting RE, PSHE and diversity topics, the workshop is fun, expressive, and delivered by experienced practitioners who build confidence and cultural awareness in every session.
The Sport and VR Journey is a unique way to merge movement and learning. Pupils digitally visit Olympic sites before taking part in an active PE session inspired by the world of sport.
Children race against famous athletes, engage in relays and compete in country teams, building enthusiasm for physical activity while learning about international events and history.
Our most unforgettable moment? A visit from Reggie, our life-sized animatronic T-Rex. He’s huge, he moves, and he roars—creating a buzz no pupil will ever forget.
This experience connects with curriculum topics about habitats, extinction and paleontology. Whether included as part of the Jurassic Dig Journey or delivered on its own, it makes for a show-stopping, educational event.
