Historic Workshops Avaliações 

Amazing Anglo Saxon workshop- being a lead humanities teacher in an Autism school booking things can be a minefield. I can not recommend Rob and this company enough. They catered for 32 autistic 11-13 year olds seamlessly. The communication was second to none before and during the day, not just re logistics but learning objectives and workshop content. Things were adapted where needed to ensure both engagement and motivation was high. The kids enjoyed soo many differing activities, got into Rob and his Anglo Saxon role and got so much from it and still talk about it a few weeks on.

The Stone Age workshop was engaging and provided the children with a valuable learning experience. The resources were lovely and really helped bring the topic to life, which the children thoroughly enjoyed.

There were, however, some aspects that could be developed further. The session felt quite heavy on teacher-led activities, and at times there was some ‘dead time’ where we needed to fill in ourselves as the activities seemed a little short. It might also work better if there were two leaders – one for each class – rather than a single person managing both groups, as this would help maintain pace and engagement.

Additionally, at points it felt as though the leader became frustrated with the children’s natural excitement, which did affect the overall atmosphere. A slightly more flexible approach might help to channel that enthusiasm more positively.

Overall, though, the children enjoyed the workshop and gained a lot from it, and with a few adjustments it could be even more impactful.

Great activities, great resources and friendly and knowledgeable host. The children had a great day. We really liked the Egyptian games and building an Egyptian city workshops.

We had a fantastic experience! Gareth was punctual, knowledgable & had the children’s attention throughout. The activities were varied and fun. Would most definitely recommend.

A BRILLIANT WW2 workshop delivered by Rob. His passion and knowledge come across so strongly the children cannot help but be engaged. We love the resources and activities. Third year booking this workshop and will be doing it again next year! Thank you!

Great range of activities - kids learnt loads and were completely engaged. Was really helpful too as the workshop leader knew plenty more about the Maya than myself!! Would definitely recommend and kids also created things they could take home with them too.

Fantastic, knowledgeable instructor. Great with the children. Super range of activities. The children described it as 'The best day at school ever!'

Our instructor - David- arrived at school with time to set up and speak to the teachers about the activities they would be leading.

He was engaging with the children and had lots of knowledge all about the Ancient Egyptians! The children thoroughly enjoyed their day!

Yet again we have had the most amazing experience with Historic Workshops! David took us back in time to the Stone Age and our children throughly enjoyed it!! The drama, artefacts, resources and activities were very well thought through and delivered exceptionally!! A fantastic day, we cannot way to see you again for Egyptian day!!!

We had a wonderful World War 2 workshop. Rob was excellent and highly engaging. The children loved the opportunity to handle artefacts, enjoyed the practical activities and were fully engaged from start to finish. It was the best way to launch our history learning for this term.

Our Year 4 class had a fantastic day with Rob on Ancient Greece. He brought the day to life for them with acting out battles, Greek writing, debating and playing traditional Greek board games. The children loved the experience and it has really enhanced their learning and their enthusiasm for the topic. Rob was incredibly knowledgable and was able to share a wealth of information with the children as well as being sympathetic to the different needs in the class. We are already looking to rebook for later in the year for one of the other topics.

Gareth led a fabulous stone age workshop to our Year 3s. The children were captivated from the moment they saw him. Engaging, perfect pace and a fantastic selection of activities. The children (and adults) thoroughly enjoyed their day. Highly recommend. Many thanks from Hylands Primary

It was truly a wonderful day! Gareth did an excellent job of engaging our children. We particularly appreciated the variety of hands-on experiences and the care Gareth put into preparing them. It is evident that he is passionate about his work! The communication before the session was outstanding, and it was clear that careful consideration had been given to the school's schedule and needs in planning the day. Overall, it was an excellent experience, and we would certainly consider booking again.

Rob visited our school for a WWII workshop with our Year 6s and what a fantastic day we had. Rob has visited our school before which is why we asked him to come back again. All the content was incredibly engaging and informative. The children were able to use a variety of historical skills to understand and uncover more about the topic. They were hooked from the minute the day started and are now really invested in our WWII topic.

Engaging, well informed, variety of activities and fun!

Rob led another fantastic WWI workshop for us this week. This will be the 4th year we’ve enjoyed this specific workshop but have also experience many others.
The children were hooked from the minute he entered the room and listened intently to the information he shared.
They loved the recruitment training and officer test and how Rob kept in role throughout.
One of my favourite parts of the day was the artefacts activity. The children explored and asked questions and Rob answered every single one with such in depth knowledge. The staff team also learnt so much!
We are blown away with how much the children were able to recall the following day.
Thank you so much. We will definitely be booking for next year and are looking forward to the workshops that we have booked for other year groups in school this term.

Rob delivered an outstanding WW2 workshop. The children were completely engaged throughout – his knowledge, enthusiasm and use of artefacts and hands-on activities really brought history to life. A thoroughly worthwhile day and I would highly recommend!

Kate was amazing. She was so engaging and the children thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. She had so much knowledge to pass on to the children and this was done in a way that developed curiosity in the children. This was a great hook for our children to the history module we will be teaching.

My class had a brilliant day for their Victorian workshop. The leader ensured it was tailored to the needs of the class and kept them engaged and busy for the whole day. They learnt so much and went home saying it was the 'best day ever!' Highly recommend

Great Day with very knowledgeable staff
