I am absolutely thrilled to tell you that Make Your Own History is now wholly owned and run by Gayton Junior School, Derby.
Make Your Own History visited Gayton School annually for 12 years and I became one of their team. This is a fabulous school and I could not be happier that the future these wonderful workshops is in such safe and imaginative hands.

Make history come to life with our ‘Build an Iron Age Roundhouse’, ‘Build a Tudor House’, ‘Build a Viking Longship’, ‘Build Roman Siege Weapons’ and ‘Build an Egyptian Pyramid’ days. The days are specifically designed for the Key Stage 2 History curriculum.
Your children will have the hands-on experience of building a piece of ‘living history’. They will use all the learning styles to solve problems as they work in teams, enjoy themselves AND learn history. The children will steep themselves in history for the day as they assemble scaled artefacts from different historical periods.
As well as constructing the large-scale artefacts, the children will enjoy a range of activities specifically related to the main project, giving them an insight into the processes involved in building a Tudor house, a Viking Longship, an Egyptian Pyramid, Iron Age Roundhouse or Roman siege weapons (which are very similar to Greek ones!). The House is large enough to sit 30 children in. The Longship is 6m long and the Onagars fire [soft] ‘rocks’ up to 20m. The Egyptian Pyramid has a 9 square-metre base and children can go in -but please don’t tell them! The roundhouse is full sized and can accommodate 45 cloosely-packed children.
