Primary School Music, Dance, Art and Science Workshops

Education Group has launched several new school workshops over the last 12 months with a specific focus on National Science Week, Black History Month and the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.

Our art education school workshops are mostly suitable for primary/elementary aged children and incorporate many elements of the National Curriculum.

For National Science Week, thousands of children are already booked onto an Education Group Forensic Science Workshop. Using science techniques specially developed for primary school children, each child gains an understanding of forensic science techniques in the real world.

The context of a scientific investigation brings science to life and stimulates interest at a young age. Schools can incorporate our Forensic Science Workshops into a memorable school science week. The workshop allows children to practice Science Key Stage One and Two skills such as observing, exploring and asking questions.

Education Group has launched a Snap Mosaic and commemorative plate workshop to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. With special permission from Buckingham Palace, our Snap Mosaic design uses the Official Emblem of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.

In addition, we have launched African Mask Making workshops for primary schools which are proving to be extremely popular during Black History Month.

Education Group’s Mask Making Workshop is a unique celebration of African art. Each child decorates their own wooden mask sculpted in the style of the Dan Tribe from Western Africa. Masks are painted with Adinkra symbols representing values such as leadership, wisdom, creativity, freedom and independence.

This authentic workshop includes a sustainability and eco focus on the materials used to create the mask. Our African Mask Making Workshop is also offered as a package with an African dance day incorporating our specially choreographed African Mask Dance.

Our Follow the Flame Workshops are almost fully booked in the London area during 2012and we have limited availability for an audience with Olympic legend, Derek Redmond.

Education Group’s Story Factory workshop captures the imagination of your children. Children are encouraged to develop characters culminating in dramatic performances delivered by the children. This is an extremely popular workshop during Anti Bullying Week or on World Book Day.

The sessions are designed to engage and inspire children. They are encouraged to fully participate in the experience. Children increase their confidence, imagination and language skills. This workshop meets targets from Key Stages One and Two of the English National Curriculum.
