Key stage two

Ancient Egyptian theatre

Join us for two days of theatre learning, drama workshops, and history. 

Your pupils will have the opportunity to learn, rehearse, and perform a short play based on the Egyptian myth of Rhodophis, the girl with the rose-red slippers. Led by a skilled facilitator, your class will learn about scripts, theatre jobs and roles, costuming, and puppet interpretation. 

This session will require the school hall.

Anglo Saxon theatre

Discover the Anglo-Saxon tale of Beowulf in two days of games, drama workshops, interactive storytelling, and theatre learning.

Using costumes and music, your pupils will dive into a world of legends and create their own performance of this epic tale.

Chorus kids

After physical, facial, and vocal warm-ups, your pupils will learn two songs to perform later in the day. 

This session can be linked with your school’s curriculum, and if you have a school, concert, or assembly you’re preparing for, we can tailor Chorus Kids to the songs your pupils need to learn and perform.

Heka, Hathor, and Ihy

Honour the Ancient Egyptian tale of creation with a full day of dance, drumming, and storytelling. Divided into three workshops, this session works brilliantly for large groups of year threes and year fours. Rotating around three creative activities in one day, your pupils will be fully immersed in the sounds, movements, and tales of Ancient Egypt. 

Led by one of our experienced facilitators, your teachers and teaching assistants will help deliver an amazing day of creativity filled with music, history, puppetry, and choreography.

This session will require the school hall.

You can judge a book by its cover

These full-day sessions are dedicated to creative writing, design, and art skills. 

Your class will study different genres of fiction writing and cover art techniques and learn what tempts readers to pick up a book and buy it. 

Using their newfound knowledge, pupils will plot out their own works of fiction, compose a blurb, and design a front cover of their own.

Much ado about Shakespeare

Choose from Romeo and Juliet, The Tempest, Macbeth, or A Midsummer Night’s Dream and watch your pupils bring the play to life. 

In this full-day session, pupils will use drama studio techniques to recreate scenes from the play, immersing themselves in the vibrant stories of William Shakespeare.
