The first workshop is when the children will come face to face with Thomas the Gorilla or Fito the Orangutan, and will be immersed in a story following their lives. During the stories, children will create an emotional attachment with Thomas or Fito and their home, exploring the positive and negative impacts of human behaviours on our world. Children will also explore a range of differentiated vocabulary that can be used to enhance learning outcomes once the workshop has finished.
Children will become explorers in the rainforest and delve into a range of vocabulary and sentence structures whilst overcoming dangerous threats on their journey. This is differentiated from EYFS to Year 6.
All of the content in this workshop is directly linked to writing, drama and ICT outcomes. All edited videos will be sent to your school for evidence and for children to see their marvellous work on the big screen.
Children will have the opportunity to meet baby Sloths and baby Cherokees, all of which have different personalities and problems that they have to deal with.
This workshop is an interactive session that can take place in the classroom and it focusses on personal, social, and emotional development.
Prior to the visit, we will send your school a ‘Curriculum Ideas Pack’. This pack primarily aims at giving teachers ideas for learning opportunities that are linked to our visit.
It can be used as much, or as little, as your school wishes and is a free resource that has been created with the support of a team of teaching practitioners across the UK. The pack uses a variety of texts and links them to an array of learning of cross curricular learning outcomes.
In partnership with the ‘Teachers Pet’ team, a range of cross curricular, differentiated resources are available to download for free for Teach Rex customers. The resources include an array of engaging content including writing frames, lesson ideas, display content and so much more.
