At Imagine Avenue we can offer you a unique opportunity to add an enriching and valuable experience to your curriculum offer. We are available for one-off visits to your school setting which are ideal as a ‘hook’ for introducing a new topic or enquiry. Our role-play has also successfully been used as a weekly opportunity for a year group/class to develop key skills.
We are equally well placed to offer a booking as a reward or play session for pupils to celebrate the end of term or particular achievement or as a regular booking for an after school club.
During a school visit you can expect children to demonstrate their independence and confidence as they navigate and explore the different areas of play.
Our nursery and school visits are carefully planned and structured to allow all children in Early Years and KS1 to access the role-play. We believe that there are a huge amount of learning opportunities within our imaginative sessions. We have a number of activities for the children to engage with alongside the play equipment which encourage cooperation, curiosity, social skills and language development.
There is also plenty of opportunity for play with our high quality resources! Imagine Avenue staff will be present during the visit (including a Qualified EYFS/KS1 Teacher) to lead the sessions, interact with pupils and to reset and tidy the areas as needed.
Yes! The 'Imagine' area of the avenue can be based around maths, phonics or fine motor skills, depending on the needs of your pupils.
If your pupils have a particular interest that we may be able to incorporate (dinosaurs, princesses, vehicles etc) then please let us know and we will endeavour to include appropriate toys, costumes etc.
Alternatively, if you would like us to incorporate elements of an area of learning or topic we can accommodate most requests (ie. people who help us, Geography etc).
We will also provide you with digital copies of resources based on our Imagine Avenue role-play which can be used in the classroom following our visit to extend and develop the learning.
