Shang Dynasty
Get ready for a drama-filled journey to the banks of the Yellow River, the second longest river in China, where the powerful Shang Dynasty used to dwell. For over five centuries they ruled as an impressive civilisation, with fearsome warriors and remarkable royal palaces. But what happened next? With your One Day facilitator, your pupils will become part of the Shang Dynasty's elite army, understand their religious beliefs and discover the skill that went into their famous jade carvings! Join us for this blast into the past and a unique look at ancient China for KS2.
What schools say
“This is the second time we have used your company for a Shang Dynasty workshop and the children love it. They were so engaged and enjoyed the range of activities that you had on offer. They were able to use their knowledge of what they had learnt to put in practise within the workshop. They also learnt new things which has enhanced their knowledge going forward in the topic.”
