Ancient Sumer Workshop
Altru
We think drama is a fantastic way to learn about history as it allows the children to empathise with ancient civilisations through acting out the daily lives of the people of the past.Our workshops give your children a chance to work creatively through engaging drama games and activities, which bring the ancient period to life.
This immersive way of working helps the session to be completely engaging and live long in the memory of the children.
