Anglo Saxon Workshop
School Workshops - Architecture Workshops
Architecture Workshops Run Hands-On Focused Practical Tasks For All Key Stages & Abilities.
In The Saxon Roundhouse we take history as a starting point and using, Design Technology, Maths Literacy, Science and Drama to differing degrees, pupils create large scale reconstructions of famous architectural landmarks that bring curriculum subjects to life. Pupils work individually, in small teams and altogether to build one large Roundhouse.
