Playtime For Schools
Once upon a Playtime will have a storybook theme, incorporating many fairy tales and characters within the play areas and play frames. This theme has been chosen very carefully and we believe it opens us up to class trips that would be considered ‘in keeping’ with educational themes.
A yearly table of events schedules events appropriate for Foundation Phase and Primary children. Some of the many events on offer are:
Story time and play day
Story writing workshop
Character design workshop
Puppet theatre
Interactive story
Story setting
Interview a fairytale character
Once upon a Playtime is an indoor play centre with a difference. It is run and managed by qualified teaching and childcare professionals who have an excellent understanding of ’meaningful play’. This enables us to engage with school staff, children and parents in order to create opportunities to increase a child’s awareness of imagination, communication, risk taking and investigation.
Our play centre is themed around stories, books and the love of reading. Many times in my professional teaching career I searched for the perfect trip to add another dimension to the topic we were currently undertaking. Well how is this for an offer...
Let us know what topic you are teaching and we’ll come up with a tailor made story and activity for your class to get involved with on their class trip.
(We’ll even give you somewhere to have lunch and time on our play system - the largest in the county!!)
You can download our events list which schedules activities on offer for different age groups throughout the Foundation Phase and into KS1 and 2. These include:
Sensory Stories Interactive Stories Character Mask Making
Puppet making Storytelling Workshops Story writing Workshops
. . .and many, many more!!
Use these days for one of your class trips or let us theme one entirely for your topic - either way we’ll make sure it’s one of the most enjoyable trips you’ve ever taken.
We’re confident that you’ll love Once Upon a Playtime , and one visit will have you planning more and more for years to come. With this in mind when you book your first class trip - we will offer you another class trip completely free!!**
Prices are based on min of 15 pupils - £5.95 per child (contact us for numbers below 15 pupils)
