Explore Our Workshop Journeys
Giant Journeys offers a range of themed adventures designed to fit with your school’s learning goals. Here’s a look at a few favourites in Stockport classrooms.
CSI Journey: Pupils become forensic scientists as they investigate a fictional diamond theft. After learning the basics of DNA, fingerprinting and trace evidence, students explore a mock crime scene, tape it off and collect clues to solve the mystery. It is real-world science, made accessible and fun.
Jurassic Dig Journey: Children dig for fossils in life-like excavation boxes and classify what they find. Using AR tablets, they bring dinosaurs to life and compare their size to modern-day humans. This experience can be taken up a notch with a visit from Reggie, our animatronic T. rex who walks, blinks and roars with the crowd.
WW2 Codebreaking Journey: Step back to 1940 and take on the role of a wartime codebreaker. Students learn how to crack secret messages using movement-based Morse code and explore the science of encryption. History and maths come together in a format that challenges the brain and gets the body moving.
Dinosaur Visit Assembly: Reggie the T. rex rampages onto your school stage for an assembly show that children will be talking about for years. With his baby sister Trixie and a host of fossils, this experience is perfect for a big finish to a dino-themed day.
More Journeys for Curious Young Minds
The learning continues with even more discovery-based adventures that Stockport schools love. Whether your students are exploring the human body, discovering the solar system or diving into cultural traditions, these workshops are designed to inspire and educate in equal measure.
Human Body VR Journey: This one is packed with wow moments. Pupils travel through the body using VR and AR to see how organs function in real time. They then build a full-size human skeleton in the classroom, helping turn abstract concepts into visible, tangible insights.
Journey Through Space: With VR headsets, children explore the solar system from Mercury to Neptune. It is a journey that sparks curiosity about living in space, planetary science and the life cycle of stars.
Under the Sea VR Journey: Pupils dive into coral reefs and explore alongside dolphins and turtles using VR. They gain a first-hand appreciation for marine life, ecosystems and ocean conservation.
Miniworlds VR Journey: A KS1 and KS2 favourite. Pupils shrink down to explore the insect world, walking among beetles, spiders and butterflies in a realistic 3D environment. It is the perfect supplement to mini beast studies.
Sport and VR Journey: Physical education meets immersive learning. Pupils explore the history of global sports using VR, then compete in real-world physical challenges to bring it all to life.
Indian Dance Journey: Pupils learn classical Kathak dance, storytelling through movement and traditional hand gestures called Mudras. Along the way, they discover the cultural richness of festivals like Diwali.
