What Happens During a History Experience Day?

 

Our history workshops use a proven combination of:

  • Interactive talks that introduce key concepts and context

Bringing History to Life in Your School

Covering key historical periods from across British history, our engaging and knowledgeable session leaders take your class on a journey back in time — without ever leaving school. Each history workshop is carefully designed to align with the National Curriculum, supporting historical enquiry, chronology and understanding of life in the past.

 

Teachers regularly use our experience days to:

  • Launch a new history topic

  • Deepen understanding mid-topic

  • Provide a memorable end-of-unit experience

Cross-Curricular, Engaging & Packed with Learning

 

All of our history experience days are cross-curricular, helping pupils develop a wide range of skills alongside historical knowledge. As well as a fun-filled day focused on your chosen period of history, children will also take part in activities that support:

  • Object and artefact handling

  • Drama and interactive storytelling

  • Problem solving and logical thinking

  • Literacy and communication skills

  • Teamwork and collaboration

  • Geography and chronology

  • Maths and code-breaking challenges

And, of course — fun and memorable learning that pupils talk about long after the day is over.
