Circuit Detectives workshop
This workshop is designed to consolidate children’s understanding of electrical concepts and covers key elements of the topic of Electricity in the National Curriculum. Children will act like electricians to identify different faults in a set of circuits and apply their problem solving skills to fix them. The children will work in a way that suits them and record their findings as they progress through the challenges.
Light Fantastic Show
Making use of our fantastic theatre, this show is both spectacular and thought-provoking and gives children a good basis for understanding the requirements for light in the National Curriculum. See light travelling in a straight line, how it reflects off different surfaces. Think about your shadow and what causes it. Light is an endlessly fascinating subject and our dark theatre space offers great opportunities to explore light and dark in more depth.
