This programme is based upon the willingness on the class teacher and an assistant being willing and able to run some of the workshops. A number of the workshops have been devised with this in mind. We will require the assistance of two members of staff to run the worshops devised for school staff - Dance, Mummers, Commonplace book and Weights and Measures.
These programmes are only suggestions. If you believe that other presentations and workshops are more appropriate then speak to us about your requirements
