More about this Workshop/Service and the Provider
Designed to stimulate imaginations and excite children and teachers alike, the workshops focus is on simple ideas to great effect. Using numbers, counting, shapes and space pupil’s work together to build simple modular forms. The workshop starts with pupils watching the presenter, getting them to assist in the building process. Working in a pairs or small groups, pupils replicate the building process, using the 2d and 3d shapes and terms to build their pyramid. These are in turn connected together to make a larger versions of the same. The ideas found in this workshop are developed throughout our repetoire of workshops, from KS 1 & 2 right up to KS 3,4 & 5.

Workshops need to take place in the school dining hall, gym or sports hall. The structures are dismantled as part of the workshop experience, so we are able to be out of dining halls in time for the catering staff to put out tables. Photographs are permitted of the workshops, so please ensure batteries in your cameras are fully charged.
We can design a bespoke workshop to fit in with your school topic. Previous workshops include Castles; Dinosaurs and some based on popular books; The Lighthouse Keeps Lunch; Iggy Peck Architect; Billy Goat Gruff; The Gruffalo. These become workshops we then offer to other schools, so there is no development fee. Please get in touch to discuss your requirements.
