School Workshops : School Days

A new addition to our range of workshops, Schooldays allows pupils to examine the changes and developments in schooling since the post-war period. Through a series of discussion based activities involving, map work, photographs and oral histories pupils are encouraged to formulate their own ideas. Using the knowledge gained from these activities pupils are asked to prepare and perform a short school based drama using artefacts, costumes, and replica objects as props.
