Key Stage 1 Experiences

In a now>press>play KS1 Experience, every child in a class puts on a pair of headphones and steps into the world of their learning. They become the main character in an immersive story, moving around the space, meeting people and visiting new places. 

Our KS1 Experiences are designed to:

Deepen Engagement & Inclusion

Through emotionally motivating story-led, movement-based roleplay 

Foster Empathy & Communication

Through placing children in others’ lived experiences to explore real-life issues safely

Support Academic Performance

Through immersive storytelling that deepens retention and inspires rich, fluent writing

Experiences are exploratory, sensory and include a narrative and mission.  Headphones are required.

That’s the first half: after your Experience, our oracy and literacy resources embed and extend the learning back in the classroom.
