Workshops Ideas Needed!


Recommended Posts

Posted

I am wondering if anyone has held a workshop type event organised by a visiting musician, puppeteer, artist or similar? We are looking for an alternative to taking the children on a visit for next term? Any ideas or recommendations would be welcome. Thanks :)

I am organising for a lady to come to our setting who is a dance/drama teacher, she actually did my daughters birthday party (teaching lots of girls a cheerleading routine) and she said she also had a childcare qualification and loved working with children, I asked her if she would come into pre-school to do a dance and music session and she said she would love to.

 

We also have a local mum whose a physiotherapist, she had been into the reception class at the local school to talk to the children about the 'body'. She brought in her skeleton and talked about healthy excercise eating etc and the children responded very well, so again I asked if she could adapt her 'workshop' for 3 and 4 years old, she said yes, so she coming in after half term.

We had the most fantastic "actors" in last year who performed Elmer and then did a workshop in the afternoon with several classes. There was one man and his son and they did the whole lot, it was performed for reception and Years 1 and 2. They seemed a bit perculiar when they arrived but the children absolutely loved them and their performance was brilliant. I could find out the name if you would like. :o

I would be interested in the contact number for the Elmer people. Thanks

We had a lovely Ghanaian lady who told stories did a drum work shop, taught a dance to go with the story and did traditional woodblock fabric printing with the children (materials provided by the artist)
