Educational Themes
For schools, museums and libraries we offer upbeat and informative
presentations.
Schools work is generally for a class or two but we also provide for the
whole school in the hall.
All our themes are interactive and humorous but we are there to
inspire children as well as entertain them, encouraging further study
once we have gone.
Wars of Independence:
King Robert the Bruce, his life and rise to power.
The king is a jovial sort but he covers the seriousness of his times too.
Dressing children as characters in Scotland's story, Bruce involves everyone
and keeps them captivated during his royal visit.
Jacobite Jock.
The 1715 and 1745 rebellions as told by a footsoldier.
Songs, stories and costumes for the children.
There is some weaponry but we don't centre on this aspect
and they can be left at HQ if deemed unnecessary.
Tudors And Stuarts.
From The Wars of the Roses, Robert the Bruce, Henry VIII
to James VI, it is ALL covered. Willie Douglas,
who helped Mary Queen of Scots escape from
Lochleven Castle is the host but he requires costumed volunteers too.
Fergus the Pict
A ninth century farmer and story-teller, kindly old Fergus talks of
standing stones, of recycling everything and the terrible time the
Roman arrived.
Two children are required to be Picts but everyone has a bit of woad
painted on them.
The visit can involve a Pictish arts session too, with rubbings of carved
stones and the creation of a Pictish flag.
Robert Burns with Jacobite Jock
For a single class to the whole school, Jacobite Jock has songs, stories
and inspiration for all.
This is very popular every January and February.
The presentation last around an hour and it is a very lively one.
Robert Burns sought to bring people together and so does Jacobite
Jock.
Pirates
This has NO educational aspect but we still get schools bookings
because it is fun and we all need a healthy serving of that.
Teachers, secretaries and janitors too are expected to enter into the
spirit of things and dress for the occasion.
Or else.
Arts Workshops
We have two main themes, Dinosaur Days and
The Art Of The Picts and these can be delivered in schools,
arts centres, museums and shopping centres. These are
long-established themes and have been very popular with all ages.
