Primary School Programme
Forensic Science The context of a scientific investigation brings science to life and stimulates interest at a young age. The workshop allows children to practice Science Key Stage One and Two skills such as observing, exploring and asking questions. A crime has been committed and it is the responsibility of each class to work together to piece together the evidence. Our workshops are suitable for all primary school children; however our younger investigators are always reassured that the story is make believe. Once inside our crime scene our young investigators must tape off the area in order to protect any evidence that may be found. Clues and evidence must be identified, collected, interpreted and analysed. This includes finding, developing and characterising fingerprints, investigating tool marks and other impressions, identifying hairs and fibres and investigating blood, bones and DNA.
Gamelan A gamelan orchestra usually consists of a number of gongs, drums and metallophones made up of various shapes and sizes. They are commonly made of materials such as bronze, iron and even bamboo. Education Group's gamelan orchestras originate from Bali and are made up of 3 different sized gongs known as ageng, kempul and kenong. Our three metallophones carrying the core melodies include the saron, peking and demung whilst drums and bells are incorporated to maintain the rhythmic flow. During the workshop several pieces of music are introduced and there are enough instruments for every child to participate. This allows each child to fully experience Education Group’s Gamelan Workshop.
