Enhance your Mayan or chocolate topics for KS2, using drama to bring this dramatic, and delicious, civilisation to life.
What schools say
“The day was amazing! Your Facilitator was great with the pupils. I would highly recommend your workshops to anyone! The day was enthusiastic, fun and engaging and it ticked a lot of boxes for us, as the drama element meant that we were covering literacy as well as history! We really did get so much out of it, and it was such a great start to our topic. Using drama as a way to start a topic really gets the pupils engaged! I would have you back anytime!”
