Abstract
Recently the realisation that children make decisions and choices about subjects they like during their primary school years became widely understood. For this reason academic establishments have started to include activities aimed at the younger ages in their portofolio. During the last academic year we designed and trialled a particle physics workshop for primary schools. The workshop allows young children (ages 8-11) to learn the world of particles, use creative design to make particle models and engage in creative writing to describe how particles interact with each other. The workshop has been trialled in local primary schools, receiving positive evaluation. The resources were improved, based on the feedback given by the primary school teachers.
