Time Trips

I did my first Zoom talk today to Manchester Muslim Prep School, and it went really well! Contact me for details if you would like one for your school. All Time Trips topics covered - see timetrips.co.uk

Ancient Egypt: yesterday was a great day at Thorp Primary in Oldham, teaching year 6 about the Egyptian gods and pharaohs. Here they are making their artefacts, and dressing up as Egyptians.

Romans: Miss Smith's Year 4 class at St. Richard's RC Primary in Longsight made some wonderful mosaics this week in our Roman workshop. This is an excellent school which I have been visiting now for more than ten years!

I'm now working on a a new activity for the Greek Legacies workshop - building a theatre. Like the temple, the whole class will work together to make one realistic model. Here is a very early version.
It will eventually have not only all the seats and lots of spectators, but also the stage and actors, and the hillside behind.

SPACE: I just visited the excellent Sun exhibition at the Science and Industry Museum in Manchester. Lots of great artefacts, info and images to keep you interested. Here's a selection of photos.
In my Earth, Sun and Moon workshop children learn why we have days, years and seasons because of the Sun. They make their own globes to make sure the learning sticks.
