Learning and Outreach

At History Stories, we bring the past to life in the classroom! Our history outreach sessions are designed to engage students with stories of real people from history, tailored to fit the curriculum and inspire curiosity about the past. We focus on creating interactive and immersive learning experiences that make history both fun and meaningful.

Each session dives into a specific historical period or theme, guided by the archaeological evidence found in and around the South Downs.

Historic Craft Workshops

We offer students the opportunity to not only learn about history but also to experience it first hand through a range of historical crafts. These hands-on activities are inspired by real artifacts and archaeological discoveries, helping students connect with the past in a tangible and creative way.

From making pottery like ancient craftspeople to weaving like early settlers, our activities are designed to spark curiosity and build skills. Our sessions encourage students to explore how people in the past lived, worked, and created, deepening their understanding of the history around them.

Loan Boxes

We offer a range of inspirational Loans Boxes for schools and groups to borrow allowing pupils to get up close to real and replica artefacts.

The boxes contain information sheets, a selection of suggested learning activities (including printable worksheets/other materials) relevant to the period of history/objects in the loan box and, where possible, links to online 3d versions of relevant objects so they can be explored digitally.
