"The children have been 100% engaged in every activity and challenge presented to them and were sad when the project came to an end. You have roused a passion for history amongst the entire class who are now desperate to find out more.
Thank you for such a captivating and thought-provoking experience."
Hannah Wharton, Year 6 teacher, Stonelow Junior School

Gertie trialled a primary school package based on Professor Stibbe's work with Year 6 pupils at Stonelow Junior School in Dronfield and Greystones Primary School, Sheffield.
The children were amazing, willing to try out and engage with new ideas. Their responses have been stunning - full of imagination and insight. It has been a thoroughly enjoyable experience for all concerned.

"I liked looking at the primary source materials."
"This workshop brought history to life for me."
"I loved getting bits of writing (from the camp) and finding information to act out to the rest of the class."
