“An absolutely phenomenal program! Highly interactive and engaging. It was wonderful to see the students so interested in learning. The multi-disciplinary approach enticed all students. (ex. Art- hieroglyphics, physical activity of the chariot, building the architecture, gathering the food!) So many skills were presented. The costumes were also a special part of the entire experience.”

The students had a great time. They loved trying on costumes and riding in the chariot. It was a great hand-on learning experience. Thank you for a memorable workshop!
– S. Smith St. Leo School
My students look forward to this presentation all year! The hands on learning cannot be replicated in the classroom. After this celebration day, I can then invite the students to launch an investigation about a civilization which piqued their interest. It gives the students a frame of reference and an authentic taste of history!
– Vicki Cran South Plympton P.S.
“This program is certainly one of the highlights of Grade 4 for our students. What they learn in one day from your program is amazing and couldn’t even be done in 6 weeks at school! The students learning on this day is so engaging and hands on. We look forward to your return next year. Thanks for a great day!”
