Events & Visits

School Visits

There are some spare dates now available for Gloria to come to your school. Contact Gloria – suggest a date – and let’s see if we can organise a great ‘Ocean Adventure Day’ for your pupils.

Gloria visits schools around the world so all visits are by ZOOM.  This enables all children to remain in their own seats in their classroom, aiding concentration – rather than sitting on the floor for a mass assembly.  Teachers each log on to the presentation – enabling multiple classes to receive the presentations at the same time.

A.  Whole School Visits –   Gloria – the Weird Fish Lady – spends 45 – 60 mins with each group of children, and gives themed extension work for the teacher before she progresses on to a different group of children or
B. Working with just one year group for a whole day.
