Full Day Workshop

Age 6-7 years old

  This engaging, hands‑on workshop helps children explore different families, understand their needs and wants, and learn how they work together. Through fun games and creative activities, children develop skills in budgeting, saving, keeping money safe, and making simple decisions. By the end, they’ll understand how families share responsibilities, make choices, and build happy, secure homes. 

Full‑Day Workshop 

Ages 7–8

Children dive into the exciting world of neighbourhoods by becoming mini‑planners for a day. First, they explore what it takes to budget for and design their very own dream home — choosing features, weighing costs, and making creative decisions. Then, they zoom out to discover how their new home fits into a bustling community, learning how neighbours, shared spaces, and local services all connect to create a vibrant place to live.We deliver engaging sessions that introduce pupils to various career paths and industries. Using hands-on activities and real-world examples, students gain a clearer understanding of future opportunities and the skills required. Our programmes aim to motivate and inform young learners.

Full‑Day Workshop 

Ages 8–9

Students explore what urban life means and how cities are planned. They learn who makes decisions about where different types of buildings are located and why families choose to move to cities. Together, the group discusses the advantages and disadvantages of urban living and takes part in the “Budgeteer” board game to understand everyday expenses.

To finish the day, the children work creatively to develop ideas for raising funds to support a local homeless shelter.

 Full‑Day Workshop 

This full‑day programme explores Our Nation, helping children recognise key items, places, and landmarks across the UK. Learners are introduced to a range of typical UK families, discovering the different jobs family members do and the skills those roles require.

The workshop then moves into a hands ‑on budgeting activity, where children plan a community event using UK‑sourced products. Finally, we look at how to care for the environment and discuss the ways businesses can act responsibly within their communities.

 Full‑Day Workshop 

This full‑day programme provides pupils with a structured introduction to global economic development. Participants examine countries at different stages of growth and consider the factors that influence their progress. They are introduced to families managing financial constraints and learn how effective budgeting supports essential household needs. The day concludes with an exploration of international trade and an analysis of businesses that must evolve in order to remain viable in a changing global marketplace.

 Enterprise Duck Challenge (Years 6–8)

A fast‑paced teamwork and entrepreneurship activity where pupils form mini‑companies and compete to make, market and sell paper ducks. Each team takes on business roles, manages money, buys materials, and runs a production line.

Throughout the challenge, surprise problems test their teamwork, decision‑making and problem‑solving skills. Volunteers act as the bank and shop.

Teams finish by presenting their company strategy, mission and reflections. Prizes are awarded for best presentation and highest profit.

 Half‑Day Workshop: Clown Mobile Enterprise (Years 3–5)

This workshop introduces younger pupils to teamwork, creativity and basic enterprise skills. Working in groups of 5–6, each team forms a mini‑company tasked with producing a clown mobile using a provided materials pack.

Pupils take on defined business roles — accountant, buyer, sales executive, and quality controller — and manage a set budget to purchase supplies, construct their mobiles, and sell them to volunteer “buyers.”

The activity encourages financial awareness, communication and problem‑solving. The team with the highest profit at the end of the session is declared the winner.

 Half‑Day Workshop: Pyramid Construction Challenge (Years 3–8)

This workshop is designed to develop pupils’ problem‑solving, teamwork and communication skills through a structured, hands‑on STEM activity. Pupils begin by working individually to construct a basic paper pyramid, learning key techniques and safety considerations. They then progress to working in pairs and finally in larger groups to build a three‑dimensional pyramid structure.

Once completed, pupils test the stability and accuracy of their construction by raising the pyramid to ceiling height, rotating it, and flipping it safely. The session concludes with pupils working collaboratively to dismantle the structure using safe and controlled methods.

The activity integrates Mathematics, Science and Technology, reinforcing spatial reasoning, measurement, structural understanding and safe working practices.
