Life is a unique educational resource in the heart of Newcastle
At Life, they provide exciting, interactive activities and workshops which are designed to inspire and entertain students of all ages and abilities.
They’ll provide school groups with an itinerary which is tailored to the learner level and focus of your group. Their team will do all the planning and organising so everything is in place to create a great and safe experience for classes.
A typical school visit includes time in the science centre plus a workshop – or classes can opt for a workshop or a science centre visit only.
The exciting, interactive zones and activities in the science centre inject a fun extra dimension to every visit.
Their unique and engaging programme of 19 workshops and story-telling sessions have been designed to reflect current and relevant STEM themes and topics which are linked to the national curriculum. Workshops take place in fully equipped real labs and The Making Studios, where students can expect exciting experiences that cannot be replicated in the classroom.
‘The supervisor who ran the session was excellent. Very knowledgeable and demonstrations were clear and easy to follow.’
‘Jake was brilliant! The children were engaged throughout and it really consolidated our learning in class. Thank you.’
‘The workshops were fantastic. Both the children and staff enjoyed them and the children were able to gain so much – both from an educational and practical side – from being in a lab environment. To have access to electrical equipment and the range of chemicals which we would not have access to in school was amazing for them. They loved the experience. The learnt a lot and had such a wonderful time. Thank you so much.’
‘All of the children have Special Educational Needs but all were able to access learning at their levels – not an easy achievement!’
‘There was a perfect amount of time spent in each area. Children were engaged and it meant behaviour was great.’
‘The workshops were outstanding. They were planned appropriately and delivered fantastically to our 32 children. The children loved them, especially being in the lab. It was perfect having the Antarctica workshop first then the Chemistry one afterwards. The Chemistry workshop covered a huge amount of practical work which was excellent for the children and I was impressed with the experiments they carried out and how carefully the children did these. Thank you so much – so much of the KS2 syllabus content covered. Perfect!’
