Practical, fun and creative ways to teach and learn primary school history!

Replica artefacts and costumes for anyone interested our past.

Specialist materials and expertise organised for you.

Creative History offers a fresh look at how to create and deliver efficient, effective learning. Founded by an experienced teacher, our training and workshops are designed for busy teachers with busy lives who need practical classroom activities. Historical characters and Theme Days add sparkle to your history curriculum. Our replica artefacts and costumes can be used for displays and interactive learning to help enliven your teaching or simply for your own interest. Our aim is to make the learning experience easier for teachers and pupils alike!

Historical Characters and Theme Days

A figure from the past or history on a theme...

Half or whole-day sessions tailored to your needs.
To make the past feel more real we bring an extensive range of resources (most of which can be handled by the children).
We offer a range of workshops that can selected and tuned to match your teaching objectives.
All sessions are run by a qualified teacher. We take the strain, not you!
As an additional activity we can bring a travelling shop. This can consist of a stall from the past, themed on the day or a full range of artefacts and gifts.

Historical Characters

Bring a period of history to life when a figure from the past comes to visit with a range of interesting objects and a story to tell. We offer characters from Ancient Egypt, Roman Britain, Tudor, Stuart (fire of London) and Victorian times. We don't have the character you need at present? Just ask and we may be able to help!

Theme Days

Theme Days span several historical periods and cover one or more themes. We currently offer topics on Toys, Food, Fashion, Packaging and Textiles. For example, "The Toy Factory" includes comparisons between Egyptian, Tudor, Victorian and 20^th century toys. Theme Days are also fantastic for supporting other curriculum areas. For example we can look at the topics from Design and Technology, Art or Science perspectives. If we don't cover the topic you are teaching, let us know what you need and we may be able to help!

Courses

Off-Site Courses. A range of courses covering the KS1 and KS2 national curriculum historical periods and themes. For KS1 we offer courses on Famous People and Themes. For KS2 we offer courses on Roman Britain, Tudors, Victorians and 20^th Century. In addition, we now offer courses on Emotional Literacy and Language Impairment.

School INSET. Tailoring our courses to your specific needs: History with a dash of emotional literacy, learning and communication styles or higher-order thinking. We mix the cocktail to suit you!
