Taster presentations for schools
|
This is a downloadable example of our taster presentation for primary schools. We would be delighted to visit your school. The taster would be adapted to your requirements, taking into account numbers, age range and any particular interests. We also have a template for secondary school classes. Please contact us to discuss.
We would be glad too if teachers would like to use material in the taster themselves. Ideas to improve our tasters would be very welcome. There is no charge schools for taster classes but a contribution to our travel expenses or a donation towards our work are very welcome. Supplementary materials for primary school taster visits
Supplementary materials include colouring sheets for the youngest pupils and worksheets for older students. We also pre-print or write children's names in Cyrillic on these stickers.
