BATTLES
ROYALE
Two fun-packed drama workshops, for KS1,
each exploring a famous British battle:
|
1. The
Battle of Hastings |
The date is 1067. The children will meet a Saxon veteran, Ardith, who has been commissioned by the new Norman rulers to train villagers in the art of warfare, should they be called upon to defend their country. In their role as the new recruits, the children will be put through their paces and key to their instruction is an understanding of why the Normans invaded, and how they managed to claim victory on the battlefield in 1066.

2. The
Battle of Trafalgar
|
It is 1805, the children will meet Captain Forrester, training new
recruits for the forthcoming battle against Napoleon.
In role as members of The King’s Royal Navy, they will embark on
an action-packed adventure aboard the warship ‘Conqueror’.
On their journey, they will learn many aspects of early 19th century
seafaring and have fun experiencing the gruelling jobs undertaken
on board ship and understand the importance of teamwork when
firing a cannon and raising an anchor with the capstan..
