Workshops for Primary Schools

Apart from an enjoyable experience, our workshops provide learning outcomes appropriate for all ages and abilities:

• New creative skills

• Encourage working in teams

• Improve communication skill

• Learn the importance of planning

• Increase confidence in own abilities

• Speaking, listening & thinking skills

• Understand the language of film

All those taking part, irrespective of ability or age, are actively encouraged to participate and contribute to the day. Using a range of approaches such as developing stories, storyboarding, creating characters and sets for animation, being interviewed or role-play ensures that everyone is included.

“I was surprised that such a simple idea could have such an impact.”

“A stimulating, engaging and very positive experience”

"Through the arts, children will also develop original ideas, explore issues and solve problems. Children will take part in different activities including photography and animation." National Curriculum Guidelines
