Workshop/Assembly Summary:
The first session involves a science focused workshop discussing the evolution of science and why it so important to ask the question ‘why’. This is an interactive workshop, with ‘Jam’ our 4 metre dinosaur, that is designed to get children of all ages thinking scientifically. The workshop has been adapted to incorporate language that has been prominent in SATS papers over the past two years and aims to familiarise children with a range of vocabulary.
The second workshop focuses on expanding vocabulary and encouraging children to verbally discuss ideas that transfer into writing, using our green screen to ignite their imaginations. This is differentiated from EYFS to Year 6. All of the content in this workshop is directly linked to writing, drama and ICT outcomes. All edited videos will be sent to your school for evidence and for children to see their marvellous work on the big screen.
The third workshop gives children the opportunity to work in small groups and apply the skills they learnt from Workshop 2.
Children will create their own ‘Green Screen’ videos using iPads and share with their peers. Younger children will use the iPads to orally rehearse sentences and make a video, using technology purposefully to create, organise, store, manipulate and retrieve digital content. Please send us an email or give us a call and we can go through which workshops would work best for your school and what subjects would be targeted.
The three different workshops are all available to schools. However, prior to your booking we will cater a visit to meet the needs of your school to ensure all of the children you want to target, are experiencing aspects of the visit. We understand every school is different, therefore, if you have any questions about structure, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us.
Additional Information:
With regards to price, please contact us using the button below. Every visit is bespoke to the specific school depending on what you want to achieve through a 'Teach Rex' visit.
Although some of the workshops may be targeted at certain age groups (studying dinosaurs) we always encourage the whole school being involved in the assembly. This gives all of the children an opportunity to experience something out of the ordinary. We are also happy to send 'Curriculum Idea Packs' to every year group in your school.
