A range of flexible lesson plans to suit your needs with hands on 'experiential learning' utilising many authentic artefacts, tools, clothes and objects from Iron Age lifestyle. I use story telling and music, movement, dance, video and nature activities. The Celtic Chris experience will suit: any age/year group studies of the Celts; The Romans; Book Week; Religious Education; Art; Music; Archaeology; Geography; Environmental Education and the Study of Nature. Half-day, full-day workshops and multiple-day workshops for on going longer term projects - e.g. bread & cheese making, basket weaving, pottery kiln, Celtic artwork or even building your own Iron Age roundhouse! 'Chris has a natural and unique gift for inspiring the class and keeping their attention... true learning in action... He is a brilliant and natural educator, sensitive to the mood and energy of the class...' Mr. Michael Fairclough, Deputy Head, Broughton Primary School.
