Reviews for Marvellous History Workshops

We’re marvellous – but don’t just take our word for it

Take a look at what other teachers have said about our exciting history workshops that have had a big impact on their class

The best part of the workshop was our leader. She entered the classroom in character and captured the children’s attention and imagination immediately. She created a lovely relationship with the children and was friendly and approachable throughout the day. She was highly professional with both the staff and the children and whilst in the school building. All the activities she presented throughout the day were pitched perfectly at the children’s level and were highly enjoyable. On the whole the entire day was fantastic!

All Saint’s Primary, Burton on Trent, 2023

Your Range of artefacts / resources were extensive, very impressed. As were the children. You brought the topic to life, thank you for a wonderful day!

Ms Rowley , Gorseybrigg Primary, Dronfield, Derbyshire

Thank you so much for being so accommodating, […] it is much appreciated what you have done. All of the teachers and pupils who have been on workshops so far have absolutely loved them!

Sophia Locke, Murrayfield Primary Academy Mar 2021

Just wanted to say what a wonderful day the children had when you came to Sunnymede. They got so much out of the day and it has really inspired them in their writing.

Sunnymede Primary, Billericay 2015

I am writing to say a huge thank you to you and Julia for the amazing day last week. The effort, energy and passion that you both put into all of the activities was incredible; you had the children engaged, enthused and, at some points, spellbound!
Your resources and artefacts are wonderful, and particularly impressive, given the fact that you make many items yourself. You were able to provide knowledge and experience to the children that we simply would not have been able to do within the parameters of a ‘normal lesson’.

The Children thoroughly enjoyed the ‘hands on’ aspects of the day – touching the artefacts, trying on clothes, making butter and flour. The Visit served to highlight what the children had remembered about previous class work and they acquired new knowledge

Mrs Chadwick, St Josephs RC Primary, South Elmsall

The children were thoroughly absorbed in every aspect of the workshop but they particular enjoyed the games and the handling of artefacts. They also enjoyed talking to Becca about their job as an archaeologist. Becca was fascinating, entertaining and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure to have them at Holy Trinity!

A fantastic day, everyone worked hard, been kept busy and found out lots of facts. We’ve spent half a term working on the Vikings , the visit into school was fantastic, providing lots of extra details and experiences.

Howden Junior School, Howden, East Yorkshire

Ragnar was the perfect character to deliver the workshop to our children. They were enthralled by his manner and knowledge all day. Every part of the workshop was as fabulous as the next.

We all loved the constant change of pace and the up and down nature of activities – short sessions sat listening, lots of opportunity for discussion with answers and misconceptions clarified straight away, active sessions that enabled the children to listen more attentively and learn the information being given and so many artefacts to handle and puzzle over.

Overall, we were huge fans of this workshop and we have already recommended it to others and will not hesitate to book for future years studying the Vikings and may be looking to book sooner for other year groups.
