Many of us have enjoyed The Greatest Showman movie and we are sure your pupils will love to have the most circus authentic school visit!
A fun and exciting day with Magical Circus, with a Circus Performance by Angelo & Melanie the Ringmaster and Dancer, your instructors for the day, to entertain and inspire everyone. The performance in your school hall includes a whole range of circus skills from juggling to stilt walking to unicycling and tight-wire walking with lots of fun and laughter throughout.
Get the full experience with two genuine circus artist plus circus skills and a fascinating circus history lesson, which includes artists costumes, memomarabilia and the chance to dress up with real clown shoes!
The two classes then follow a structured day which includes a circus workshop session of age appropriate and ability skills (usually juggling, balancing or plate spinning, diabolo and bucket or hand-held stilt-walking), a history of circus and Melanie & Angelo's lives in circus, free time to practise a favourite skill and the day finishes with a Children's Circus Performance for all the pupils (and teachers too) to show off their newly acquired skills and to which parents can be invited!!!
Do not take our word for it, just read our reviews:
We had Melanie and Angelo visit our school as an end of year treat for our attendance celebration. I cannot rate them high enough. They put on a wonderful show for 100 children and had every one of them in the palms of their hands. We had children from reception to yr 6 and they all had the best time. The staff loved it too. Will definitely book again and can highly recommend them. Well done to you both and thank you for entertaining us. The children haven't stopped talking about it since.Jemma West Palace Fields Primary, Runcorn. 18, July 2018
Schedule for up to 60 primary school pupils, two classes.
Lunch
The School Visit includes: certificates from Magical Circus for all the pupils, an educational pack with circus history information, a 'playground props bucket' of 10 items, usually spinning plates and sticks and sets of juggling balls to continue mastering the skills after we have gone and a selection of toy prizes for the 'Circus Art and Writing Competitions' to be set by the teachers and for the winners to take home. We reserve the right to alter the circus props and toy prizes according to suppliers availability.
We bring everything to you: no need to leave the comfort and safety of your school, no need to book a costly coach, no need to juggle pack lunches and unnecessary rubbish, we're with you before the children arrive and after they leave, setting up and dismantling in their absence for health and safety reasons and to maximize the time that we have with the children...every second counts with circus skills!
Circus Skills are a great form of exercise, they require flexibility, strength, balance, agility and develop hand-eye co-ordination. They also require self-motivation, self discipline, concentration and an artistic flare, so the skills and the theme of circus can be linked to the curriculum in a number of ways, from a mathematical, scientific or artistic approach. Most of all circus is great fun, so children are learning without realizing it.
Please note, we will require the use of the school hall throughout the day, allowing for the lunch break (props will be packed away for health and safety reasons) and also a good sized class-room in the afternoon for the Circus History session which will need to be set up during the lunch break.
Alternative options are available for primary schools: full day for 1 class for a more intense and advanced day - more skills and more 1:1 time with instructors, full day for 3 classes for 3 form intake schools, half day for pre-school classes, full day for the entire school (1 form intake) and short taster workshops per class for a treat or reward. For larger schools with two or three form intakes we provide two or three day bookings respectively.
Alternative options are available for high schools and special schools with Melanie & Angelo as Instructors: full and half days organised according to the number of participants and the length of time allocated per group.
