BATTLES
ROYALE
Two fun-packed drama workshops, for KS1 or KS2,
each exploring a famous British battle:
|
1. The
Battle of Hastings: The Sheild Wall and the Stitch |
Step into 1067 and experience history from both sides of the battlefield!
Saxon veteran
Ardith has a dangerous new job: training villagers to defend the realm under their new
Norman masters. Through physical drama and interactive storytelling, your class will master
battlefield tactics, uncover the real reasons behind the 1066 invasion, and discover how
William claimed the crown.
But history isn't just made on the battlefield—it's preserved in thread. Working directly for
the formidable Bishop Odo, pupils will become the creators behind the famous
Bayeux
Tapestry, physically bringing the story, to life.

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..
