"The Stone Age was brought to life for our Y3/4 class. They enjoyed handling the artefacts and dressing up in Stone Age costume. They were amazed by the weapons and tools they got to handle. A fabulous interactive session. One of the children said 'is was the best history lesson ever'. Thank you!"
Mrs J.Lloyd
"Thank you so much. The children and myself learned so much and have really enjoyed the whole day. A great introduction to our Stone Age topic. The rest of the topic will be so much easier to teach now. The children will be able to picture all the tools and equipment that I will be talking about and will be able to imagine being there."

Miss Pike - Sacred Heart, Wigan
"The ancient Egyptians workshop made it feel as though the class was actually transported to ancient Egypt. The costumes, artefacts and drama activities brought it all to life. All of the facts presented filled the day with learning and had the children hanging on every word meaning that the children were able to reiterate the facts with ease. It was as if an Egyptian museum had landed in our classroom. Mrs Sweeney is a fount of knowledge and answered all the children's questions."
