Stone Age Workshops

The Drama Hut

Please note: Workshops only - We visit your school!

At The Drama Hut, we believe that schools should have ready access to affordable drama workshops in order to support learning. The Drama Hut was created in order to provide a service that teachers could access, to help bring the curriculum to life. Through drama, children are able to experience a subject, complementing and enhancing their learning in the classroom.

All our team are trained both in facilitation and performance. They have experience working with children of all ages and share a common passion for learning through drama. All facilitators are DBS checked and implement The Drama Hut CPP (Child Protection Policy).

Why are The Drama Hut a great choice for bringing fun workshops into your school?

During this workshop, the children will create pictures from The Stone Age in order to get a sense of the start, middle and end of this period. In pairs they will also explore and vocalise how stone age people may have communicated with one another. Finally, using pictures for inspiration, the children will create a stone age timeline and through guided improvisation and poetry, imagine life in a stone age settlement.

What size groups do you cater for?

We can work with up to 30 children at any one time for a minimum of 60 minutes. We offer special day rates for multiple classes and can deliver different topics to different year groups on the same day, helping to manage tight school budgets. All we require on the day is the school hall or similar to work in and a member of staff to observe the session/s.

Do you cater for visitors with Special Educational Needs (SEN)?

Yes, with the assistance of staff on-site where.

Anything else?

“We have used The Drama Hut on several occasions to help enrich and inspire the children’s experience of the curriculum. All facilitators have been well prepared and able to use their dramatic skills to deliver well-pitched and interesting workshops. Children are always excited after the session and are able to speak confidently about what they have learnt.”

"Lillie was wonderful at delivering the workshop. The children learned a lot about the Stone Age in a really interactive way. She was really engaging as 'Sally Spade', and kept their attention for the full 75 minutes."

★★★★★ Antonia, Year 2 teacher, Wetherby, Kensington
"The boys had a really brilliant afternoon and they all loved it. They had had a really tough day and not been outside as usual and Fraser was able to keep them all engaged and involved throughout the sessions. It was brilliant to see them working together in groups and I was so impressed with the creativity Fraser brought out of them. Thank you!"

★★★★★ Lorraine , Newlands Primary School
"Testimonial - We had a brilliant day with Sally Spade, the archeologist! The children were very enthusiastic during the workshop and it gave them inspiration to do some fantastic writing after!"

★★★★★ Year 3 teacher, St Mary's C of E primary,Slough
"The workshop was fantastic! The children were so engaged in their learning throughout and took so much away from it. Sally Spade was so engaging that the children were in awe of her. Not only that but Sally Spade even made it through the snow to run our workshop!"
