Ancient Egypt: The reign of Tutankhamun Workshop
Those History People
Constant rated 10/10My class had an absolutely fantastic day! As well as being great fun with a huge variety of activities, the children learnt so much too. Every moment was filled with very engaging activities: role play, drama, dance and music; Phil captivated the children from the moment the day began to the very end. I cannot recommend highly enough – we will most definitely be asking them to come back in the near future.
