Schools & Groups
Discover's programme for schools takes place in the unique environment of our Story Trail, Story Den and Story Garden. This is a multi-sensory environment which encourages role-play, story-building, self expression, language and literacy development.
New Sessions: Twisted Tales Key Stage One and Two
Booking now for 20 April onwards
Discover's Story Builders take you on a remixed story adventure. What would happen if the big bad wolf picked up Cinderella's glass slipper? Would Hansel and Gretel find the way out of the forest if Red Riding Hood had eaten the breadcrumb trail? In the Story Studio nothing is quite what it seems as stories are recreated with some blood curdling and hilarious twists to create brand new classic tales.
Twisted Tales will encourage pupils to use their imagination to explore new boundaries in story building. Schools sessions will enable Key Stage 1 and 2 pupils to participate in interactive drama based workshops, designed to improve speaking, listening and creative writing skills. Children will take part in role play, character development and explore plot and narrative styles whilst having fun. With fantastic props and costumes Twisted Tales will be an unforgettable summer treat for the whole class.
Times: 10.15 - 11.45am and 13.15 - 14.45pm
Sessions are available for £125 per class of 30.
