SPRING 2014
New for 2014! New workshops for learners at Key Stages 1 and 2 2014 will see the introduction of some exciting new opportunities for young visitors to DIG and Barley Hall. Our new multi-period ‘Hearth and Home’ workshop at DIG uses science and archaeology to examine how houses and homes were constructed by people in the past.
What is the difference between a Roman villa and a Viking longhouse? How did Stone Age people build their shelters? Pupils will answer these questions and more in this fun, hands-on workshop. A ‘Tudor Discoveries’ half-day experience at Barley Hall allows your pupils to immerse themselves in the surroundings and atmosphere of a Tudor-era townhouse, where they will learn about fifteenth and sixteenth-century innovations that changed the world. Reading and writing, science, navigation and medicine all come under the spotlight in this eyeopening and unforgettable visit.
For more information on our exciting new workshops please call our friendly reservations team on 01904 615505 or email groups@yorkat.co.uk.
