Workshops: World War 1

WW1 and it’s impact on the world is brought to life through workshops that seek to immerse your young people in the everyday life of trench warfare, troop morale and fighting for King & Country.

Session 1 – Who Started the War?

Using our signature Hats-only props, we take a speedy introductory look at the start of the War.

Session 2 – Your Country needs you Pt 1

In this informative session, children are presented with a range of Male soldiers and roles in WW1 which they have to identify
through teamwork and critical thinking.

Session 3 – Your Country needs you Pt 2

In this informative session, children are presented with a range of Female frontline and home front roles in WW1 which they have to identify through teamwork and critical thinking.

Session 4 – For King and Country

Using role-play & drama to encourage empathy, this session takes an accurate look at life for a soldier on the frontlines
focusing on how they spent their time and how they felt.

Session 5 – The Final Push

One of our highlight finale sessions, students use a range of child-friendly weapons and resources to re-enact a trench battle from the Artillery Barrage to going over the top.

Key Learning Areas:

  • Empathy for soldiers
  • Understanding all the theatres of war
  • How the war was fought and won

What schools say about us...

"Thank you so much for an amazing day! The kids are still talking about it now and parents have said how much they talked about it when they went home. Both of your Facilitators had a great presence with the children and your behaviour management was spot on. The fact you kept the attention of 90 children for the beginning and the end of the day was fab. The resources were excellent and complemented the learning well. The value for money was great. We just thought it was amazing! We will definitely be booking again for next year."

"The children really enjoyed the day and all of the activities, especially the battles! Your Facilitator did a great job and I really enjoyed the session with the Viking Ship. We will definitely get in touch with you if any other year groups would like your services!"

"We, at NLC had a brilliant time on 3rd Feb with your Victorian Day. The resources you have are amazing and helped make the day even more special. The children spoke about their favourite activities all last week. They thoroughly enjoyed it. We have passed our thoughts to the rest of the staff and recommended you to them. Thanks again for an amazing day."

"We had the most amazing experience with The Past Presents delivering an Ancient Egyptians workshop. The children loved every minute of it and they were all engaged from the minute you arrived to the very end. The tasks were fantastic and brought the whole topic to life for them. The mummification was by far their favourite and most memorable. The closing ceremony for the day was incredible and brought all of their learning to an end in a brilliant way. You were brilliant with all of the children and a font of knowledge for any of their questions. Would definitely recommend!"
