World Space Week
World Space Week
Our inspirational World Space Week workshops exist in a range of formats, differentiated for age and ability – and are designed to build on pupils’ existing knowledge, enhance progression and boost pupil motivation in science. Perfect for Space Week – as well as throughout the year to bring this topic to life!
For teachers, they provide an opportunity to experience some creative, inspiring and cross-curricular approaches to teaching the topic of Space, many of which require minimal resources and can be shared with colleagues and implemented into science lessons the very next day.
Our Journey’s into Space and The Race into Space, link in perfectly with the World Space Week 2025 theme of Living in Space!

Testimonials
“The children thoroughly enjoyed the workshops and all were completely engaged,. Even now a week later, the children are still talking about it and repeating the ‘SUN BURNS!!’ part. They learnt so much in just a short amount of time and will remember it due to the engaging way it was presented. Lots of the children surprised me with their knowledge – Jackson expertly drew out what they already knew and expanded on it. We will definitely be booking your services in the future.”
“The children absolutely loved the day, and all year groups were completely invested in it. The whole day ran brilliantly, and I cannot speak highly enough about Chris – he was a pleasure to work with, and was excellent with both the children and adults – he absolutely made the day as special as it was. We have also received positive feedback from parents, who enjoyed the family maths workshop, and as a school we were blown away by the attendance!”
“10/10 …The pupils were all fully engaged in their learning because they were enjoying the different context and visitor. They were talking about the workshops all week. It was just what we needed to create a buzz around maths for maths week!”
“I can’t thank you enough for all you did last week. I had so many teachers stopping me and telling me how amazing you were! The children loved every minute and I particularly liked the workshops – great to see the kids engaged, moving and working as a team as well as stretching their mental maths skills.”
“Today is the start of Maths Week. Thank you to As Creatives for supporting us as we decide who should be the next British Astronaut!”
“Thank you so much for yesterday! The whole school loved the (streamed) assembly and the workshops. Such an exciting theme too. I will remind the classes about sending you their Moonbase designs, what a great idea! I hope we can see you in person next year.”
“The workshops were great and the children thoroughly enjoyed them. The whole year group are very excited about what they have learned about the space race and are looking forward to publishing their poems to go on display in our school hall.”
“We had a fantastic day …The depth of knowledge that Chris had, it was phenomenal! It was so lovely having a workshop which could range from Reception to Year 6 and enthuse all year groups equally. I would definitely book another event with you. It was easy to organise and the feedback from staff and children was great!”
“The pupils very much enjoyed the workshops. They were excited to take part in a whole school mission and loved the active nature of the activities. We were very pleased with the amount of maths work involved in the in class tasks. Despite being fun, there were plenty of teaching points and so it was a good balance between the two. We hope to work together again thank you!”
“Chris was phenomenal – all the teachers LOVED his assembly and the children did too. Every member of staff has commented on how good he was with the children – how his pitch was correct and how he delivered it so well. I was so impressed and he really did make the day so special.”
“The workshop was absolutely brilliant. I loved that nursery were included and the children were all very engaged. We will definitely be booking again – the children are keen to see Major Tom again – Thank you so much!”
“The students absolutely loved it! … They gained an understanding of how Maths is intertwined into our everyday lives. They saw the benefits of applying themselves in Maths because there are so many exciting opportunities that stem from Maths. Thank you to everyone at As Creatives!”
“We just wanted to say a huge thank you to ‘Major Tom’ for a wonderful day yesterday. All the children had a wonderful day and lots of the staff said it was one of the best workshops they can remember!”
