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..

 

“The feedback from both staff and children for your ‘Battle of Hastings’ workshops was overwhelmingly positive. Thank you so much.
Can’t wait to find a reason to contact you for another workshop”.
Year 1 Teacher, Holy Trinity Primary School, Richmond
