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
Anglo Saxon Workshops are the perfect topic hook for your Anglo Saxon topic!

Dan Tastic Education visited our Year 5 class to deliver an Anglo-Saxons & Vikings workshop this morning. The workshop was fantastic!
St Mary’s CE Primary School
Urmston, Manchester
It was very interactive and interesting. Dan managed to engage all of the children by using a range of activities such as handling artefacts, drawing and discussion to appeal to all learners. The staff and children learned lots throughout the morning and had a brilliant time. I would highly recommend this workshop/company and will definitely be booking with them again. Thank you so much for an amazing day! 😊
