Setting

60 AD. The Boudiccan revolt. The pupils will take the roles of Roman citizens and slaves during the Boudiccan revolt. From their settlement, the pupils await news of the outcome, discussing the events that led to this dangerous time in the history of Roman -occupied Britain and the response of the Celtic peoples.

Workshops

History Off the Page will bring all the equipment and materials needed to set up workshops in your hall. The atmosphere will be created by using drama and role-play, facsimile items etc.  The workshops often include: ink making, making scented oils and fresco painting.

Afternoon Session

During the afternoon session the pupils will experience a banquet which will celebrate the Roman victory over the Boudiccan rebels and consider what the Pax Romana might mean.

Details of this and further information about the day are included in a booklet which is sent out prior to a booking. All the History Off the Page providers are experienced teachers and storytellers who enjoy working with large groups of children. Generally there will be a story told during the day.

Costumes are available to order from Off the Peg.
