Workshop: Red River Re-cap!

Date: Thursday 18th of April 2013

Location: Kilmodan Primary School, Glendaruel

Workshop: Red River Re-cap!

Walking Youth Theatre Team: Sadie Dixon-Spain and Alana Mathers

Today’s short workshop was very high-energy, and lots of fun! The pupils were all very enthusiastic about engaging with the Glen of the Red River project following the break.

To refresh the memories of the pupils, we played a number of ‘Timeline’ games, to encourage the pupils to think about the history of the Glen, and the time periods they have already studied. It was great to see how much information the pupils had remembered, and to hear the questions they were asking on life in the Glen throughout the ages.

The pupils also highlighted the particular historical periods they were most interested in learning about, and identified ones the curriculum had already touched on.

This afternoons activities allowed us to gather facts the pupils were already well versed in regarding particular historical time periods, particularly the Vikings.
