Inspired by the famous Corinthian helmet on display, pupils step into Ancient Greece with shields ready, explore replica Greek armour and try their hand at Spartan battle drill. This workshop is guaranteed to bring the stories of Ancient Greece to life, perfect for building oracy, inference and historical enquiry at KS2.

Perseus and Medusa
Guided by the Oracle of Delphi, pupils will be swept up in the drama of Greek mythology as they join Perseus on his quest to defeat Medusa. This fast‑paced, interactive storytelling session is perfect for building confidence in speaking and listening.
Spartan Training
Pupils practise teamwork and discipline with simple military formations and manoeuvres, discovering how Greek warriors moved and fought. Along the way, they build vocabulary, make inferences from objects, connect myth to material culture, and discover what life may have been like for the warrior who once wore our famous helmet.
(Early War)
Explore how the history of warfare has changed from the early days of hand-to-hand combat to today’s technology-based warfare, including our new display on the Second World War.
