Ely Cathedral Workshop
Architecture Workshops
Quick Overview - This Ely Cathedral-themed workshop takes a look at Christian architecture like the iconic octahedral lantern that floods the nave with sunlight, and even dives into science and maths through problem-solving activities. The two hour workshop is a fantastic chance for students to imagine, listen, and work together while discovering what makes Ely Cathedral, 'the ship of the fens', so special.The Architecture Workshops Association have been running fun and engaging workshops since 1996 that engage with pupils and providing catalytic support for teachers. Fitting with the national curriculum on numerous levels, not only the obvious STEM elements and History, but we help develop pupils Fine and Gross Motor Skills as well as a their independent thought and problem solving skills, thereby increasing their self esteem.

Who are Architecture Workshops?
Designed to stimulate imaginations and excite children and teachers alike the Architecture Workshops Hands-On experience is a Focused Practical Task For All Key Stages & Abilities. The workshops focus on simple ideas to amazing affect, using all aspects of STEM pupil's work together to build stunning large scale structures. In many of the workshops we take a history topic as a starting point and using, Design Technology, Maths Literacy, Science and Drama to differing degrees, pupils create large scale reconstructions of famous architectural landmarks that bring curriculum subjects to life. Pupils work individually, in small teams and altogether to build one large structure or many structures depending upon the focus of the chosen workshop. The ideas found in EYFS workshops are developed throughout our repertoire of workshops, from KS 1 & 2 right up to KS 3,4 & 5.
