Living Things Workshop
One Day Creative
One Day is a forward-thinking creative education company, connecting children and learning with creativity and imagination. In this Living Things workshop, your pupils will use drama, movement and storytelling to embark on a scientific journey through different habitats (or 'biomes') on our unique planet. Discover the living things that call these amazing places home and explore how they have adapted to survive, grow and thrive - sometimes against the odds. An ideal KS1/KS2 STEM workshop for schools all year round or for British Science Week.

Which curriculum topics do we cater for?
Performing Arts Workshop
All our workshops use drama, dance and/or movement to stimulate learning and capture children's imaginations. Our team of performing arts professionals have a range of activities up their sleeve to ensure your chosen topic is as accessible and engaging as possible for your pupils.
We also make sure to tie in key curriculum objectives linked to your chosen topic. Our extensive range of school workshops cover History, STEM, Geography, World Culture, PSHE and more.
Biology
Plants Animals including humans Living things and habitats Ecology and environment Life Cycles Habitats
This Science/Environment workshop for KS1 and KS2 introduces young pupils to the complexities of the living world. Our planet is home to an incredible 8.7 million species of plants and animals. But can you believe that around 6.5 million of those species are yet to be identified?
We will step into different habitats and the living things that call them home. We'll discuss life cycles (including food sources, where relevant) and how we begin to classify such an incredible amount of information. Finally, we'll touch upon the relationship between humans and our fellow living things. If you wish, your class can enjoy an optional insert to celebrate 100 years of Sir David Attenborough.
What size groups do we cater for?
We can deliver workshops to up to 4 classes in a school day, depending on the type of workshop and age group of the classes involved. Each session caters for a maximum of 35 children.
Visitors with Special Educational Needs (SEN)
Absolutely! Our method of working, using the performing arts as a vehicle for learning, is naturally inclusive so please do reach out if you'd like to have One Day in your specialist setting.
We recognise that our workshops have been designed for mainstream settings and, therefore, may not be appropriate for all specialist contexts. However, we can make some reasonable adaptations to workshops when delivering in specialist schools so that pupils can access the learning.
We'll work with you to understand your pupils' needs and offer all the information you need to make an informed choice about our services. You know your pupils best. Equally, we always work in pupils' best interests. If we don't think we can provide what your pupils need, we'll let you know.
