Are you courageous enough to join the Time Traveller on a daring mission in our KS2 Ancient Greece workshop?
Journey back to visit the Ancient Greeks as you solve puzzles, sing the Greek alphabet, and meet both a rich Athenian and a Spartan slave.
Then, can you persuade the almighty Zeus to help you? Will you be able to match the Gods and Goddesses to their individual powers? And finally, can you help the Time Traveller graduate from time travel school in our Ancient Greek Adventure show!
Equipped with a small set, portable props, and quick-change-costumes, two facilitators will reveal brilliant mysteries and Greek-tastic knowledge through this KS2 Ancient Greece workshop.
