Alfred the Great

Why was he great?

Join us as we explore the life of Alfred the Great. Together with our actor facilitators students will create scenes around Alfred's life pondering questions such as: what made him so great? How did he establish peace with the Vikings? Did he really burn those cakes?! During this workshop children will also discover and experience the class structure in Anglo-Saxon England and how that affected the lives of the rich and poor during Alfred's "great" reign. This workshop is perfect for a hook into the subject or to consolidate learning.
