Our workshops have been carefully crafted and updated over the last 10 years, they were designed from the ground up using the perspectives of a reception teacher with 40 years experience, a retired primary headmaster who went on to work as an educational consultant , a critically acclaimed children’s entertainer who specialises in ADHD and neurodivergent engagement & a West End scenic artist who worked on sets and props for Master Chef, Madame Tussauds & The Royal Opera House.

Our mission has been and always will be to give children an experience that they will remember
and bring topics to life so they stick around in their minds well into adulthood

Handling Artefacts

Your class will have the opportunity to touch, hold & handle different artefacts & items

In a single Standard Session our core content will be covered
& your pupils being able to briefly touch a range of artefacts

If you opt for Spectacular Sessions or book any timetable that goes over two hours the children will also be able to split into groups and handle a range of artefacts, draw them and write about them

A full day with one group? That’s the very best we can offer, and allows everything mentioned above plus an extra session of studying fragile artefacts up close, being able to write about and draw them and then finishing the day off with an extra topic related activity based on the children’s attention span & interest

Using historical artefacts, props, games, video presentations, teacher in role style activities and group discussions we teach children all about the Wild West whilst also using the topic to relate back to modern times, PSHE, gender equality, wellbeing, English, maths, citizenship & inclusivity

The Grange School
Daventry

We've had Dan Tastic Education visit us on more than one occasion this year; working with year groups across the school, covering a range of different themes. These have ranged from Superheroes with the whole of our EYFS (including Nursery children), Knights & Castles with Year 1 and a very impressive Stars and Stripes suit for the USA unit with Year 4 children. Without exception, every child and member of staff was impressed. We would recommend Dan Tastic Education workshops without hesitation!
