2023/2024 School Year
Mixed Up is a vibrant, interactive experience for 3 – 8-year-olds exploring a mix of emotions and feelings through painting, music, and dance. We are offering all Local Authorities the unforgettable Mixed Up experience for their schools during the 2023/2024 school year.
'Whilst having brilliant fun doing the activity, I also had the children tell me about their emotions and why they chose the colours used.’
In summer 2023, Starcatchers delivered Mixed Up with Angus Council. The digital classroom experience empowered staff to confidently embed a new creative approach into their practice, which encouraged learners to develop their agency in a meaningful and practical way. The resources removed the time pressures and other expectations, traditionally assumed with creative experiences, and replaced them with freedom and stimulation.

In Person Training for Group Bookings
If your local authority books Mixed Up for 10 or more classes in one transaction, you will receive a FREE two hour, in-person practical training session. A Starcatchers facilitator will deliver your boxes of materials, and together you will explore the Mixed Up experience in a relaxed and supportive environment. This is a great way to create a community of teachers and early years professionals who will be delivering the Mixed Up experience in your area.
