Schools, Nurseries, Playschemes

A chance for Children to discover new talents,
get fit and build confidence while learning in a fun and unique way. 

 
I have had experience in performing and running Circus Skills Workshops at over 450 events including Nurseries, Schools, Special Needs Schools, Playschemes, Out of School clubs and many more children’s learning establishments. I have worked alongside teachers to enhance specific subjects such as Drama (working towards putting on a show and learning performance skills), Physical Education (very healthy activity), Science (Newtons laws of motion etc), Mathematics, and Religious Education (I can perform Christian Juggling routines!) Circus Skills Workshops can be an ideal activity at Transition Days, School Fetes, Healthy Living Weeks, Activity Days, End of Term events,  School Fetes, Enterprise Schemes and for when Classes are doing a project all about the Circus!

Why Circus Skills and Juggling in schools?:   To find out more about the vast array of social, physical and educational benefits that children can experience and tap into, please visit the Benefits of Juggling page.

 
The following activities are what I am usually hired for by learning establishments. They can be mixed and matched and further information is provided by clicking on the links at each activity below:

Juggler for a Day / Half Day

These are the most popular options. You hire Steve the Juggler for a full day or half day (until Lunch-break or from lunch-break), and my activities can be split up however you require so that many classes can try out a Circus Skills Workshop, I can entertain with walkabout juggling during break-times,help out in certain classes such as PE, Drama, and perhaps perform my 30min show at some point for the entire School! This can make sure that everyone in the School gets to do something with Steve the Juggler during the day, and that the cost of hiring is split across the entire School rather than just out of the budget for a certain Year group!

30min Schools Show

Ideal for School Assemblies and when you want to reward the entire School (eg light relief after exams have all finished) or have something a bit different one day such as during the last week of term. The show can be tailored for an exact age group (eg year 6) or for an age range (eg years 1-6) so that everyone can enjoy the show! Your children will be inspired to talk, read, write and draw pictures about the Circus.More details can be found here - 30mins Schools Show

Please have a look at my 3.5min Showreel below which will give a small glimpse into my Performances!
