Why Studying History is Important
History is more than dates and facts; it’s the story of human experience. Our workshops aim to show why studying history is crucial by making lessons dynamic, interactive, and relatable. Pupils will not only learn about the fascinating lives of Roman soldiers and Greek & Viking warriors but will also understand how these ancient civilisations shaped modern life, democracy and education.
What We Offer
Our immersive workshops are tailored to enhance understanding and curiosity. Each session combines:
Hands-on Activities: From forming a phalanx to training as Spartan warriors, pupils experience history in action.
Historic Artefacts: High-quality replicas bring authenticity to the classroom, sparking curiosity about life in Roman times or Ancient Greece.
Interactive Storytelling: Pupils engage in narratives that put them at the centre of historic events.
Bringing Ancient History to Your School
We understand the challenges teachers face when delivering history lessons. That’s why we provide everything needed for a successful day- from advice on resources to drama-led activities that inspire both teachers and pupils.
Each experience is led by professionals and keen history specialists who embody key historical characters, transporting pupils back in time. They’ll meet Roman soldiers who recount the Roman Empire’s conquests, Spartan warriors who train them to defend Ancient Greece against invaders and Vikings trying to work out whether to raid or trade.
Engaging All Learners
Our workshops cater to all learning styles:
- Visual learners are captivated by costumes, props, and artefacts.
- Kinesthetic learners thrive in active role-playing sessions, such as throwing foam darts or participating in mock battles.
- Auditory learners enjoy engaging storytelling that weaves historical facts into memorable narratives.
Workshops for Primary Schools
Perfectly aligned with the Key Stage 2 history curriculum, our workshops provide an engaging way to cover core topics such as:
- Life in Roman Britain and the Roman Empire
- Daily life in Ancient Greece and the significance of Greek democracy
- Viking decisions: Raid or Trade, and their eventual settlement across Europe
- The cultural and technological contributions of these ancient civilisations
More Than Just a Lesson
When pupils participate in our workshops, they don’t just learn – they live history. From holding a Roman shield to re-enacting the Greek warrior phalanx formation or even creating a real Viking shield wall, they’ll experience first-hand what it meant to be part of these ancient worlds. These immersive activities develop critical thinking, teamwork and creativity, making lessons resonate long after the workshop ends.
