Viking Workshop
|
We can accommodate up to 3 classes (90 children) for a full day's worth of highly-engaging, hands-on learning. How do we manage this? We provide two teacher-led sessions that are extremely immersive, and crucially...easy for teachers to deliver!
The highlight of the day has to be when up to 30 children at once, take part in battle formations and tactics. With 30 wooden, replica round shields and wooden spears, they learn about the famous Shield Wall and experience what it was like to go in to battle in Viking times. A typical Viking Workshop looks like this: - Battle formations and tactics (children learn how the Vikings fought with spear and shield) - Viking games (the children get to play replica Viking board games!) - A Viking 'Thing' (a Powerpoint-led session which is designed like a game, for the children to learn what a Viking meeting was like *VERY POPULAR!*) - Archaeological dig (the children become archaeologists and sift through soil tray to reveal real historical artefacts!) - Weapons and equipment handling (the children get the chance to handle replica Viking-age weapons! - this session depends on the groupings and timings of the day) Workshop leaders: Leigh, Adam or Richard. Adam's workshop is different to the one above and can be seen here. Richard's workshop is also different. Please enquire to ask for a schedule. For example schedules based on 1, 2, or 3 classes, see below. |

'Leigh came to our school today to deliver the Anglo Saxon and Viking workshop. From start to end all the children were engaged. All the resources were excellent quality, including the ones we were given to lead. Leigh explained everything clearly and was amazing with the children. The day was summed up brilliantly when one child asked where Leigh was when they were taught Romans! Thank you for a fantastic day. We all loved every minute!'

I just wanted to say a massive thank you for the workshop you delivered to our Year 5s. We all (staff included) thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and learnt so much in such a hands on and engaging way. The children have remembered so much which they are managing to sneak into lessons, and have been eager to use the weapons choreography in their PE dance unit! I'm sure as a year team we will be in contact again, and will definitely encourage the others to use you to bring their history to life.
