Highlights

In addition to everything covered on the Take Leo’s Journey learning programme, your pupils will:

Step back in time

Your pupils will explore different types of writing, which will be brought to life when they are transported back to 1938. One of our educators will take them on an interactive tour of The Journey in which they will be challenged to:

Write down questions in preparation for the time in the day when they come face to face with a Holocaust Survivor or they see interactive, recorded testimony that enables them to pose their questions.
Share ideas with one another.
Think independently and reflect on what they see and hear.

Back to the present

Pupils will be brought back to the present by entering our memorial gardens. At this time they will examine the sculptures and roses, considering the stories behind them and their relevance for today and the future.

Writing workshop

At the end of the day, pupils are encouraged to turn this inspirational experience into a piece of significant writing, which they will develop and complete when back in school.
