Workshop Description
Extending children’s learning beyond the national curriculum, while also exploring British values, this KS2 / P4 - P7 workshop sees pupils working in teams of Historical Ambassadors to teach each other about some of the important moments, both famous and infamous, of British History since the Battle of Hastings. Armed with enticingly designed Fact files, teams will explore moments from the Black Death to the Second World War, selecting key facts and preparing and presenting short dramas to bring them to life. During the workshop, pupils will annotate our beautifully illustrated Timelines - which can either be taken home or used for displays.
Duration: Workshops last for 1-hour to half a day and preferably using the hall space.
"It was good to get the children problem solving and doing both mental and written calculations. They also gained lots of knowledge about the Vikings and lots of them have remembered the facts Jackson shared with them. It was great to see the children being creative. They usually associate maths with being boring and sitting down but getting them to make statues was amazing for them!" Holy Trinity Primary School
