Historic Workshops Avis 514

Gareth had a wealth of knowledge which enraptured the children and adults. The activities were enjoyable and kept the children stimulated and generally the day was fun and wholesome.

Our second school had a victorian workshop, again with david. This initially had to be rescheduled but Historic workshops were quick to let us know and arrange a close alternative date.

The teachers there said ‘ David was exceptional – he really brought the Victorian classroom to life for the children. It was wonderful for them to have such a vivid, first-hand experience of what life was like during the Victorian era. The children were fully engaged and absolutely loved the whole experience.’

Thanks again for delivering this workshop. We will definitely be back!

The children were absorbed for the whole day.

Rob is fantastic. The whole day engages the children and truly immerses them in the world of the Vikings. This is a great, memorable experience that engages our children in history.

Fantastic Roman Workshop with Adam – Highly Recommended!

Our Year 3 class thoroughly enjoyed the Roman history workshop delivered by Adam. The session was incredibly engaging from start to finish, with a brilliant mix of hands-on activities and fascinating facts that brought the topic to life. The workshop was very well resourced, allowing all children to get involved and experience elements of Roman life in a fun and memorable way. Adam’s enthusiasm and clear knowledge of the subject made the learning exciting and accessible for all. We would definitely recommend this workshop to other schools – a fantastic enrichment experience for any Romans topic!

Gareth was such an inspiring and engaging leader. We always have a brilliant experience with Historic Workshops, and this was just superb. Gareth was so knowledgeable about the Second World War (as well as the wider context within which it sits). It cannot be understated how much of an achievement it is to keep sixty year sixes engaged and interested for an entire day at this time in the year and in the sweltering heat.

We cannot thank you enough for the enthusiasm and expertise you brought to our school, Gareth. Thank you! See you next year.

Great communication when booking, and in the lead up to, our day.
Amazing resources provided during the day.
Engaging, enthusiastic and professional leader (thank you, again, Gareth!).
Our children absolutely loved the day - it brought their learning alive!

Thank you to our wonderful guide for a fun day of Ancient Egyptian learning. Our class particularly enjoyed the mummification process and the props brought were great. They also enjoyed the papyrus and ink activity and games. As constructive feedback, the investigation of artefacts could have been a shortened session as 1hour seemed a little long for our class to concentrate on reading and writing when completing the questions.
A lovely day with a very knowledgeable and approachable guide.

David from Historic Workshops was an absolute star. From the moment he arrived he explained in detail to all of our staff how the day would go. He delivered sessions that were fun and informative. G
His knowledge was amazing and the children weren't able to come up with a question that he couldn't answer! Thank you for bringing our topic alive, we all had a fantastic day!

Gareth was a great Roman Centurion. The children responded very well to him and were so engaged with the different activities that he led. They were very involved in the story that he told about Julius Caesar and loved acting out the different parts.
Parent feedback: I just wanted to pass on my thanks to everyone involved in organising the fantastic Roman day today- my child has not stopped talking about it! It is lovely to see him so enthused about his learning and keen to share it with us.

David was absolutely incredible during our Tudor Workshop. We couldn't have asked for any more, thank you for such a fantastic day!

Our children had such a wonderful time today! Rob was very knowledgeable and got the children so excited to learn and engage with the activities. This is the 3rd time we have had Historic Workshops and it definitely won’t be the last!

The workshop was excellent - really informative and children were engaged throughout the day. The activities were purposeful and the children thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

The children have absolutely loved it! The resources and teaching were amazing. Such a great day. The children were fully engaged and loved the games.

We had an Egyptian workshop with David for our mixed year 3/4 classes. David was fantastic! He was really passionate about his subject. His knowledge about Egyptians was incredible and the children were all really engaged. David even gave us an extra session to tell us about the Egyptian myths.
He was fantastic with the children and answered all of their questions. We really recommend him and can’t wait to book him again.

A brilliant Great Fire of London workshop with our Y2 class. The children learnt so much and were fully engaged all day! I’d highly recommend!

Lovely leader - children enjoyed the topic and he has a lovely manner with them.

From the moment Laura arrived, her fantastic presence and enthusiasm set the tone for an engaging and memorable day. She delivered high-quality teaching throughout the workshops, captivating all of our Year 5 children with her deep knowledge and dynamic approach.

The session on the Ancient Greeks was incredibly hands-on and practical, which kept the children fully motivated and excited from start to finish. Highlights included the battle role-play, Ancient Greek games, and the scribe activity – all exceptionally delivered with every resource thoughtfully provided.

The children had a truly enjoyable experience and came away having learned so much. Thank you once again, Laura – we will definitely be booking Historic Workshops again in the future!

The children loved their day. It was really hands-on with lots of experiences for the children to get involved with. The leader was friendly and interesting and her resources were excellent! The childern learnt loads without even realizing it. Their favourite part of the day was definitely the battle,where they got to use 'spears' and shields.

Great interaction with the children and wide range of high-level resources.
