The Human Heart
Get ready to scrub up and become a heart surgeon for a day! Learn the basics of the hearts function and how to keep your heart healthy. (PHSE/Biology)
Grab yourself a patient and create a medical record for them using stethoscopes and oximeters (personal, social and emotional skills/maths/english)
Get down to the practical of blood measurement and use your maths skills to create a Tally Chart of your findings and create number sentences to prove your findings (Maths)
Finally, you will be ready to work on a real heart (caution real lambs hearts used in this activity) simulate the working of a heart, but pumping “blood” around a real heart!! (Biology/fine motor skills)
Snot and the Respiratory System:
What is snot? How much snot do we have? Why do we have snot? In this workshop children will learn about the function of Mucus and the respiratory system. (Biology)
Children will get to make their very own sticky “bogie” using caster sugar, paint and PVA glue, by following the recipe and method on their worksheet, whilst using their numeracy knowledge to fill in the missing parts of the recipe. (Literacy, science, maths, fine motor skills)
Once their “bogies” are complete, it is time for the “germ” battle to commence. Using their sticky “bogie” children will need to defend themselves from the “germs” that fill the air. (Physical)
After successfully defending themselves from the airborne “germs” children complete a bar chart to record and represent how many “germs” their “bogies” caught. (Maths)
Finally the children get to touch and watch as real Lungs (from sheep) be inflated, then create their own craft lungs to take home (D&T, Biology)
The Human Eye - part of our 5 senses
During this workshop children learn about the structure and purpose of the human eye (biology, PHSE)
They take a moment to have a go at sketching a friends eye and use a mirror to flip the image, as a representation of how their eyes work (Art, biology, PHSE)
To deepen their understanding of senses, children will then embark on a variety of different activities where “sight” is removed, (including food tasting) and explore what happens to our other senses when one is removed and how our vision supports our other senses. (Biology, PHSE)
Finally the children get hands on with real eyes (from a sheep) to explore and investigate its structure. (Biology)
Did Somebody Say POO? Our Digestive System.
If the word "POO" wasn't enough to gets the kids attention, then this hands of journey through our digestive system definitely will!
During this workshop children explore what happens to the food we eat as we work through the 6 steps of digestion. (Biology)
Starting with "Ingestion".. putting food into our mouths and chewing it! Have a look inside Martha the Mouth and develop a deeper understanding of the importance of Oral Health. (PHSE)
Moving through the next 5 steps of digestion with hands on activities, children will complete a written worksheet explaining their findings.(English) They will be fascinated to find out how long their small intestine is. (Maths)
Ending our workshop with a dramatic finale - Did we manage to make POO??
Meet our Workshop Leader as the one and only Anne Bonny in A Pirate Life for Me”.
During this 90 minute Workshop our workshop leader retells the story of Anne Bonny’s Life through storytelling, drama and singing. (History)
Children are given the opportunity to get hands on with real fish as they explore and investigate fish anatomy. (Science:Biology)
As the end of Anne Bonny’s life has never been recorded, children are welcomed to write their own ending to her legacy and this is shared between the group. (English)
In one final attempt to uncover the end of Anne Bonny’s story, children join Anne’s crew and learn to talk and fight like a pirate. (Drama & Physical)
Together they work as a team using co-ordinates and map reading skills to find Anne Bonny’s long lost Treasure!!! (Maths)Finally creating an ending for one of the most empowering females in history!
Join our Workshop Leader as the admirable Florence Nightingale.
Learn about her life as a nurse in the Crimean War through dramatised performance (History)
Understand the importance of hand washing as we explore how quickly germs spread (science, PHSE)
Have a go at caring for a solider patient as we explore Basic First Aid, in scenarios that may appear in the children's day to day lives.
We are off to the seaside in this thoroughly enjoyable Workshop. Join Mary Anning on the Beach in the Lyme Regis as she hunts for Fossils, or as she calls them "Curiosities". (History)
A surprise interruption sees "Ty the Triceratops" take you on a time travelling adventure, to over 200 million years ago and explains how fossils form. (Science)
Have a go at opening up your own "curiosity" and identify the fossilized remains.
Categorize dinosaurs into carnivores and herbivores based on their teeth. (Science)
Finally make your very own Fossil to take home. (DT)
