Each session learners will be transported to another time and place where they will be active participants and detectives, having been shown a mystery object they will be challenged to recognise it in a story. Their period appropriate costumed storyteller will guide learners as they listen and engage with an interactive story. After the story learners will be encouraged to delve deeper into life in the time of the story by finding out about the mystery object to discover the materials, purpose, and role it plays in the lives of ancient peoples. Story tellers include: Nean – telling tales set in the Palaeolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic Blae – sharing stories from the Bronze Age Catia – a storyteller from the Roman occupation telling tales from her own time and the Iron Age Thorhilde – with myths and tales from the Viking and Anglo- Saxon periods.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am an archaeologist, storyteller and reenactor, with experience telling stories and facilitating object handing and use for education and families in museums, schools, public venues and online. I find that stories open windows into the past making it accessible for learners. Furthermore, I believe that seeing an object held and manipulated allows learners to appreciate, connect and understand the complexity of the people who created them more fully.
