"Never mind the children - the STAFF had a great time and learned so many new skills and information which we will take advantage of in this unit. Highly recommended - thanks, Richard!" - Mrs Cowie, Newcastle teacher.
"I had been
really puzzled about what to do to bring my Greeks unit to life,
having never taught it before. Richard's workshop was just
brilliant, and I've now got loads of ideas - the kids were so
inspired!" - Mrs Davies, Sunderland

Learn about how Spartans, Athenians,
Corinthians and other Ancient Greek peoples
lived.
We begin with a fun quiz that
involves your children becoming Athenian voters to decide on the
right answers to some tricky questions...
Can you tell a Chiton from a Himation? Would you
be able to form a Phallanx? Could you master a few words of Ancient
Greek?
Try on replica hoplite body armour and helmets.
With the weight of that shield, could the hoplite 'hop
lightly'?
That History Bloke will deliver a hands-on
experience to fit in with your curriculum requirements - not only
armour, but also costume, Greek ink and alphabet writing,
artefacts, fun true or false quiz, instruments, games and
toys...
This is a fun and fact-filled half day session that will engage the whole class.
