School Workshops - The Drama Hut
Home /
School Workshops Options: With changing guidelines from government, The Drama Hut are committed to supporting schools through this challenging time and will not charge for any sessions that need to be postponed due to COVID19 even if we get the call the night before! In addition, all of our workshops are now available online as well as onsite, giving you complete flexibility on how sessions are delivered. Our online option is live and interactive viewed ideally on a large screen in a classroom or school hall and also allows any children to log in to from home, if having to self isolate. Please do contact us on info@thedramahut.com for further information. At The Drama Hut, we believe that schools should have ready access to affordable drama workshops in order to support learning. The Drama Hut was created in order to provide a service that teachers could access, to help bring the curriculum to life. Through drama, children are able to experience a subject, complementing and enhancing their learning in the classroom.
All our team are trained both in facilitation and performance. They have experience working with children of all ages and share a common passion for learning through drama. All facilitators are DBS checked and implement The Drama Hut CPP (Child Protection Policy). During this workshop, our professional actor will take on the role of the famous Lady with the Lamp and help the children learn about her life during Victorian times and in particular the impact she had on nursing and the sanitisation of our hospitals. During this workshop, through role play, improvisation and drama games the children will travel back in time to the Satari hospital during the Crimean War and experience the difficult environment at the time, by creating pictures and tableaus. They will have the opportunity to ‘Hot Seat’ Florence to understand more about her life from early childhood, through to her valuable work during the Crimean War and beyond. Become the wounded soldiers and nurses and create their own stories to share with each other. To finish, in small groups, they will act out the story of Florence, using a child’s poem for inspiration. Workshop topics include: Anglo Saxons/Vikings I Creative Writing I Egyptians I Greeks I Florence Nightingale I Great Explorers I Mary Seacole I Great Fire of London I Mayans I Romans I Stone Age I Suffragettes I Tudors I Victorians I WW1 I WW2 I World Book Day We can work with up to 30 children at any one time for a minimum of 60 minutes. We offer special day rates for multiple classes and can deliver two different topics to different year groups on the same day, helping to manage tight school budgets. Yes we do and find our sessions to work particularly well with SEN children We are also able to adapt this workshop to include or be specific to Mary Seacole, particularly popular for Black History Week.

“We have used The Drama Hut on several occasions to help enrich and inspire the children’s experience of the curriculum. All facilitators have been well prepared and able to use their dramatic skills to deliver well-pitched and interesting workshops. Children are always excited after the session and are able to speak confidently about what they have learnt.”
