Prehistory
Stone Age
We offer two pre-history workshops Stonehenge and Roundhouse. In each pupils work individually, in groups and altogether to build either structure. our Stonehenge is entitled stickhenge and recreate the stone circle as it would have appeared 3000 years ago. There maybe a dramictic sacrifice if a willing volunteer can be found. The Roundhouse workshop, show how ancient Britains developed from cave dwellers to living in small communities.

Visitors with Special Educational Needs (SEN)
We are happy to work with SEN pupils who are part of a class, but if the percentage is greater than 25% we may have to adjust the total number accordingly. Likewise we can run workshops at specialist schools with smaller numbers.
Anything else?
