Stone Age Workshops

All our team are professional actors, 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).
With over two hundred schools visited last year, we are passionate about the impact that drama within schools, can have on children’s education.

Prehistory

Curriculum topics available: Stone Age.

Travel back in time with our professional actor who takes on the role of enthusiastic archaeologist Sally Spade, in order to explore this fascinating prehistoric period, discovering how it developed from the chaotic to the domestic. During the session, the children will create a timeline in order to get a sense of the start, middle and end of this period. In pairs they will explore and vocalise how stone age people may have communicated with one another. Through a Stone Age ‘Dragons Den’, they will explore what would have been a useful invention of the time and through guided improvisation and poetry, the children will imagine life in a stone age settlement.

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.

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

“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.”
