Marvellous Monarchs
Start practising those airs and graces, because we’re about to explore what it means to be a King or Queen! Step into the fascinating world of monarchs in this lively, hands-on workshop for KS1. Together with your One Day facilitator, pupils will compare historic rulers to today’s King Charles III, discovering how monarchs have shaped British life and influenced history over the centuries. Using creative activities, children will investigate leadership, decision-making and royal traditions – all while having fun bringing history to life! Perfect for inspiring curiosity about significant individuals and the monarchy in the KS1 curriculum.
What schools say
“We had the most amazing morning, the activities were perfectly pitched for the age of the children. We had only just started our topic of Kings, Queens and Castles and when we did our first history lesson later in the week the children all had their hands up eager to share the information they could remember that Sarah shared with us in such a fun and engaging way. There was even moments of surprise for me. If I am still in year 1 again next year I will definitely be looking into booking this experience again.”
