Splats learning to learn circus skills classes

A Splats Circus skills day is the perfect mix of physical and mental challenges presented in a playful way. Our expert Splats teachers use our carefully planned program to help pupils to challenge their perceptions, teach and observe each other and to work as a group to achieve success.

Scarf Juggling

Our lessons start with scarf juggling. They move so slowly they are a great way for young children to learn to catch and older to learn the juggling pattern.

Slow and floaty for movement and creativity.

Pupils will improve their co-ordination and confidence and understand how the learning process works. A fantastic series of classes teaching juggling, plate spinning, diabolo, poi, ribbon and much more.

Feather Balancing

One of our favourite challenges is the feather balance. On one finger, the hand, back of the arm and eventually on the nose, chin or head.

Attention, imagination, determination.

A Splats Circus skills class is carefully structured to maximum success in stages. Our lessons cater for all ages and we adjust our lesson plan accordingly. The beauty of circus skills is that the pupils can work at their own level and practice and improve through observation of their own learning and others.

Ball Juggling

Juggling is the perfect model for explaining how the learning process works. Focusing on letting the ball drop we help the pupils relax and learn the gentle movement required for success.

Juggling is the perfect learning model.

The pupils work individually, in pairs and in groups on a variety of challenges designed to improve their skills and understanding of how the learning process works. Pupils challenge their perceptions, teach and observe each other and work as a group to achieve success.

Plate Spinning

We can provide training for the teachers and provide continued advice and support on teaching.

I just wanted to say how great Duncan was and how he adapted each session perfectly for each age group

Just wanted to say thank you so much for organising today. It was fantastic and all of the children thoroughly enjoyed putting on a fabulous show and taking part in all of the activities. Leigh was great and a big thank you to him too!

I just wanted to let you know that we all had the most wonderful day with Leigh last week. So much so, that parents have been in touch to say that their kids came home raving about their day.
