Are your children courageous enough to join the Time Traveller on a daring mission, journey back to Ancient Greece and persuade Zeus, a rich Athenian and a Spartan slave, to help them? Allow your pupils to learn about the brilliant mysteries of Ancient Greece through our KS2 Show: Ancient Greek Adventure!
Two facilitators visit your school with a small set, props and costumes. The children go on an imaginary journey back into the past with the hapless Time Traveller. There are many interactive elements, and the students are involved in solving Greek-related activities to help the Time Traveller graduate from time travel school.

Children were able to talk enthusiastically about the experience, recalling lots about what they had learnt. The learning reinforced lots of the requirements of the National Curriculum as well as enthusing the children about the subject matter.
