We’re so pleased to hear how much the students from Sandy Hill Academy enjoyed their recent ‘Discovery Workshop’ at the Hurler Stone Circles. Led by our Education and Outreach Manager, Caroline, students spent a jam-packed day exploring this amazing ancient monument and it was wonderful to see how excited they were to get stuck in!
Here’s what the students said…
“My favourite thing about the trip was when [Caroline] showed us objects from the Stone Age.”
“My favourite thing about the trip was discovering the very old burial mound.”
“My favourite thing about the trip was counting how many stones there were in a circle.”
The workshop was provided free of charge as part of our Discovery Workshops Programme. This programme is part-funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund and The National Lottery Community Fund.
Transport for the trip was funded by our School Transport Grants Scheme. This academic year’s transport grants are part-funded by Cornish Lithium.
We offer a wide range of free and subsidised workshops at our historic sites as part of our Discovery Programme, and feedback like this shows what inspiring learning experiences they are.
Our on-site workshops are provided to schools, alternative education provision and community groups free of charge. For those struggling with the cost of petrol and vehicle hire, you can also apply for one of our transport grants to support your visit.
