Our KS2 Stone Age to Iron Age Workshops can be held entirely within classrooms. We arrive with two specialists, who will lead themed sessions for up to 2 classes. If working with three or more classes, we provide an activity for staff to lead which children and staff cycle through so that they experience all of the activities we offer during the day.
Our exciting and innovative VR and AR (virtual and augmented reality) sessions are always very popular. Using the latest technology, children explore the cave art of the Lascaux caves; they will discover how a roundhouse was made and then take a peek in a 'lived in' abode; they will take a tour of some of Britain's most prominent megalithic works including Stonehenge and Avebury; they will also visit the inside of long barrows.
