Kings & Queens Workshop
For this workshop, we can cater for up to 4 classes for the whole day (9am - 3pm)! The workshop is delivered by David who has featured as Henry VIII on ITV News, The Jeremy Vine Show on BBC Radio 2 and in national newspapers!
Sessions Include:
Introduction: Introduction from King Henry VIII (he will enter the hall/room to fanfare and deliver a speech).
Kings & Queens of England: The children get to handle beautifully laser engraved wooden images of each King and Queen of England (see attached photo!) They have to read the facts associated with them and order them in chronological order)
Coin Minting: Using clay, the children will design their own royal coins, with a side portrait of their chosen King or Queen on one side, and a coat of arms on the other. All materials supplied. The children get to keep their finished coin.
Tudor Dancing: The children will learn how to dance like the Tudors! They will watch videos of King Henry VIII perform the dances with other costumed Tudor dancers. They will then get to perform the dances themselves with the music.
Archery: English Longbowmen were the best in the world! Can your children live up to their forebears? The children use modern bows to fire suction arrows at targets, as if out on a Tudor hunting expedition!
