Summer Term Planner

The summer term is always a busy one with sports days, prize giving ceremonies and a host of nationally significant events.

Use our handy guide to plan workshops to support events coming up in the summer term. If you can’t see what you’re looking for, then just get in touch and we can point you in the right direction.

Earth Day

“It was an excellent introduction to a wide topic, clearly explained” (Jane Woolley, Durston House)

Earth Day is dedicated to raising awareness and inspiring action to tackle the various environmental challenges facing our planet. Our Environment Alert! workshop and assembly will encourage your pupils reflect on the changes that we can make on an individual and societal level and feel empowered that their actions can make a difference.

Shakespeare Day

” They have not stopped repeating some of the lines that were learnt.” (Kathryn Grundy, Hylands Primary School)

At Freshwater we think the best way to explore Shakespeare's plays is on your feet, experimenting, collaborating and playing! Our experienced facilitator will lead your pupils through drama activities to bring the language, setting and characters off the page.

International Nurses Day

“Children were enthralled with “Florence Nightingale” and they completely bought into the experience. It really was a case of history being brought to life” (Kirsten Russell, Albury Primary School)

Invite Florence Nightingale into your school to inspire your pupils with her remarkable achievements. Don’t forget to sing her Happy Birthday!

World Ocean Day

“They have been repeating the continents, oceans and the different names for The Northern Lights throughout the week. ” (Jenny Eager, Paddock Wood Primary)

Mark World Oceans Day with our Crossing Continents and Oceans workshop: in this dynamic and interactive workshop, your children will join the Earth Explorer on their latest expedition – an epic tour of 7 continents and 5 oceans.

Windrush Day

“All of the key aspects of the Windrush were covered in an engaging way” (Sarah Ward, Hague Bar Primary School)

Allow us to take your pupils on a fascinating voyage to learn about the Empire Windrush and celebrate the legacy of people who undertook the voyage and made Britain their home. They will discover who the passengers why, and why they came to Britain and explore what settling in Britain was like.

Bastille Day

“Really engaging workshop, completely in French, lots of opportunity for repetition and volunteers- the children loved it!” (Laura Golding, Burlington Junior School)

Mark Bastille Day with one of our acclaimed French Storytelling sessions. Up to 120 children can enjoy an interactive language experience, developing their vocabulary whilst increasing their confidence speaking in French. Vive la France!

Summer Reading Challenge

“The performer was very skilled at putting shy children at ease and engaging them in conversation and the performance itself was very engaging.” (Vasiliki Proiou, Fulham Library)

The children will become storymakers, using specialist drama techniques to create a story together. Their imaginations will be fired as their inner storytellers are unleashed!

Olympic Games

“The children have done some lovely writing about their experience. We were as engaged as the children!” (Daniel Wanostrocht, Green Street Green Primary School)

We're limbering up to explore the highly anticipated Olympic Games in schools this summer! Our large group Zeus’ Games workshop is the perfect way to bring Olympic history to life whilst they discover how this worldwide sporting event has endured and changed over time.
