Space Workshop
Altru
All of our Science Play in a Days allow children to develop a greater understanding of the world around them. We use scientific terms to help children develop their vocabulary and introduce key concepts of scientific enquiry and the participatory and engaging mode of delivery ensures children learn while having loads of fun.The structure of a Learn and Present day:
' We start with warm ups and 'getting to know you' activities
' Then we move on to exploring the topic, through games and activities.
' We begin work on the play with all children having the chance to speak and perform. Children are not given scripts, lines are delivered orally and remembered through action & repetition ' this makes the Play in a Day format totally accessible and inclusive.
' We reinforce learning and understanding throughout the day through questioning, break out activities and plenary games.
' Children are given costume and props and we integrate music during the day too!
' Around 2:30pm your invited audience arrive ' this can be another class, the rest of the school and/or parents.
' The performance takes place ' children put everything they've learnt into practice.
' Following wild applause, children are presented with a certificate and your class teacher gets a lovely resource pack of follow up activities to do in class.
