KS1

Katerpillar Creatives provides high-quality drama workshops, designed to enhance the curriculum and offer students an exciting new approach to a topic. Drama enables children to learn by doing, and offers fresh insights into subjects such as history, literacy, and PSHE.

My sessions are interactive and accessible, designed to immerse children in learning and to create a fun and memorable experience for all. If you are looking for a way to excite your students and engage them in a topic, then a drama workshop is for you!

Workshops for KS1 are an introduction to drama and creative work. These sessions are great for building confidence and bringing learning to life!

Workshops for KS1 range from 45-60 minutes each, for groups of up to 30 children at a time.

Literacy:

Literacy workshops allow children to explore a story through games, songs and role play. Students will have the opportunity to explore a familiar tale in a new light, improving confidence and knowledge of events from a text

  • The Three Little Pigs
  • Cinderella
  • Jack and the Beanstalk
  • Anansi the Story Keeper (A traditional tale from Africa)
  • The Owl Who Was Afraid Of The Dark, by Jill Tomlinson
  • One World, by Michael Foreman
  • Where the Wild Things Are, by Maurice Sendak

History, Geography and Science:

I use games, role play and other drama exercises to bring the curriculum to life in a way that is refreshing and exciting for students. By exploring a familiar topic in a new light, children gain confidence and a deeper understanding of the curriculum

  • The Seaside
  • Going Green
  • The Great Fire of London
  • Christopher Columbus
  • Healthy Body, Healthy Me

Black History Month:

Black History Month is celebrated nationwide, and is an excellent opportunity to explore diversity, inclusion, and a variety of important historical figures and events within schools. KS1 workshops explore stories and historical events in an immersive and educational manner.
