Willenhall Community Primary School 18th February 2008
After our successful first visit to Willenhall Primary school we received a wonderful selection of comments from the teachers: (View the photo gallery)- Re-enactors built a very respectful relationship with the children very naturally.
- All children entered into the spirit of the age through wearing and seeing the costumes, they had hands on experience in all areas (dance, apothecary etc), and absorbed an incredible amount of information throughout the day.
- Real experience for pupils 100% better than books.
- Key facts delivered in an interesting way.
- Real experience inspired pupils, they learn more this way.
- A 'hands on' and real taste of history which excited and inspired children, enriched their experiences.
- Can be covered in Tudor module, even though it is at the end of the Tudor period and the start of the Stuart period. Linked to the Gunpowder Plot.
- Children enjoyed the hands on approach.
- It has brought history to life for them. Music session was excellent and delivered with real Panache, thoroughly enjoyable.
- Herbs and treatment very good as the children were unaware of this procedure or purpose of some plants; lovely session.
- Facts put over in a fun way and they love hands on activities, making it very memorable.
- Excellent, because children learned about many aspects of the Tudor/Stuart age with first hand experience.
- It meets several requirements for study units e.g Tudors (rich and poor), Local history study.
- They have participated in 'living history' and benefitted from expert knowledge - better than PowerPoint or books.
