Every year British Science Week provides the perfect opportunity to create a science “buzz” around the school and ignite a passion for all things scientific. And every year, we devise a whole-school programme specifically tied in to the given theme - allowing every class to join a shared experience, in age-differentiated ways.
Combatting Climate Change: Growing for Gold has been designed to support pupils of all ages in “growing” gold standard responses to the climate change crisis.

"Children gained a notion of Science ideas outside their typical science lessons. It prompted our children to take a responsibility for saving their planet. The entire process was a breeze. I was so happy that the timetabling of the day was provided for us from As Creatives as opposed to having to organise this ourselves. Th staff were very prepared and professional. We will definitely book again!" Growing for Gold Workshop, Childwall CE Primary School
British Science Week provides the perfect opportunity to create a science “buzz” around the school and ignite a passion for all things scientific. Combatting Climate Change by Growing for Gold, taps into the innate understanding children have of the peril that Planet Earth is in by exploring how we can all take steps to “grow” gold standard strategies designed to combat climate change. After a whole-school assembly looking at what climate change is, what it does and where it comes from, each year group will tackle its own question in a drama-based workshop – with a “virtual” Gold Medal going to the group with the best response!
EYFS/P1: What can we do at home to help save Planet Earth?
Year 1/P2: How can what we wear help save Planet Earth?
Year 2/P3: How can the way we travel help save Planet Earth?
Year 3/P3: How can what we buy help combat climate change?
Year 4/P5: How can what we eat help combat climate change?
Year 5/P6: How can recycling help combat climate change?
Year 6/P7: How can we persuade the world to combat climate change?
"I would like to thank Ady again for delivering the workshops. His own enthusiasm for science shone through from the start to the end of day. The fact that the lessons were active and fun enabled the children to learn in a more physical way than that of the normal classroom based teaching of science. This has given some of the teachers ideas for their own way of teaching science for future lessons. I would definitely recommend As Creatives to fellow teachers." Heath Fields Primary
Families Event: Innovating to Save the Planet! (add on session)
If we’re serious about saving planet Earth, it’s becoming more and more obvious that everyone, not just governments and big business, need to take innovative approaches to our daily lives. So, coming at the end of a day of workshops with pupils (and following an opportunity for children to share some of their learning with their parents/carers), this engaging workshop manages to both take a light hearted look at some of the challenges that face the planet and support families in identifying real changes they can make. And by the end of the afternoon, you’ll have your very own school Planetary Innovation Pledges! This unique workshop provides a great way of boosting family engagement – and booking it at the end of a day of our workshops with pupils will allow you to get it all for a fraction of the usual price!
