Shrek's Adventure! London School Trip

We offer two English focused workshops for primary schools.

Introducing our story starter session for KS1 pupils, the 'Once Upon a Time' Workshop will introduce pupils to the concept of beginning, middle and end and ask them to consider characteristics of a fairy story. They will also identify with characters in storytelling through role-play and the performance of a short story.

Our KS2 'Imagining Fairy Tales' Workshop will encourage pupils to reflect on the experience, pupils will explore traditional fairy tale tropes, characters and ways to subvert them. Who were the ‘heroes’ they made friends with along the way and which ‘villains’ did they outwit? Your pupils will identify the conflict, climax and resolution in their adventure to Far Far Away, identify the Heroes and Villains of the story and interpret their mannerisms through role-play, explore the role of setting in a story and how characters may react to new scenarios.

To book at our exclusive education rates your group booking will need to be for 10 students or more; we offer a free teacher ratio of one free teacher for five primary aged pupils.

Created in collaboration with an education specialist, the workshops link to various aspects of teaching spoken language, reading comprehension and writing composition and are delivered by experience actors in an immersive education space (Shrek's Swamp).

The majority of our facilities are designed to be fully accessible to our disabled guests however it may not be possible for all guests to access the 4D magic bus experience. The bus is accessible to wheelchair users who are able to transfer up one step, into the seat and have the ability to sit upright. To ensure the safety of our guests we are only able to admit two wheelchair users per hour, pre-booking of a wheelchair time-slot is required. The experience is also mainly delivered by actors, voice over audio and projected images. Guests with low vision or have a visual impairment or have hearing difficulties may struggle to experience the attraction fully; however you are able to bring a carer free of charge to assist.
