Our workshops for KS1 and KS2 are rich learning experiences in a memorable environment, focussed on inspiring the children's curiosity and excitement, encouraging questions, discussions and reflections, and fostering a sense of teamwork and belonging. 

We have a number of ways for the children to explore the vessel - using trails based around maths problems, or finding the teddy bear crew, or identifying sensory input and thinking about how it makes you feel. We also have hands on activities punctuating the exploration - throwing a heaving line with the deck crew, sending a message to the engine room from the bridge or carrying out a role play in the Art Deco saloon.

A visit can support learning across the literacy, numeracy, history, geography and science KS2 curriculum. Most importantly, it supports children's sense of belonging in the community, and their understanding that just as the volunteers saved the Danny from the scrapyard by working together and finding the help and support they needed, the children can achieve great things by helping each other and seeking help when they need it. 

Our volunteers love having school groups on board - they saved the vessel for future generations, and love to see children delighted to come on board and become part of the Danny community.

Workshops can accommodate up to 30 children with at least 5 acccompanying adults and cost £100 for a half day. Children are welcome to have their lunch on board. Locations for workshops are either Liverpool  or Sutton Weaver (between Runcorn and Frodsham). To enquire about availability, please contact [email protected]
