""This is an amazing experience day! I've now seen World War 2 + Saxons & Vikings and both days were inspiring! Dan is funny and cool, and this really hooks in the children, especially when he shares his vast experience of exploring to research different historical periods. The children were fully engaged all day! The day includes lots of participation from the children. The information is presented at the correct age level. The children (and adults!) love the whole day. I can't wait for a new topic!""
