We’re so pleased to hear how much the students from Lanner Primary School enjoyed their recent ‘Discovery Workshop’ at Carn Euny.
Led by our Education and Outreach Manager, Caroline, it was a busy day of hands-on learning, including exploring the ancient village, handling artefacts and reimagining the past in this archaeological landscape.
Their enthusiasm was wonderful to see!
This is what the students said…
“I really enjoyed exploring the village and my favourite part was going into the roundhouses.”
“Visiting Carn Euny has helped me to learn and understand more about the Iron Age.”
“We were able to hold Iron tools from the Iron Age. I found this interesting because we were learning more and more.”
“I really enjoyed the caves since they had interesting artefacts and cool glowing moss that lit up in the dark. Our school trip to Carn Euny was lots of fun and educational.”
This is what their teachers said…
Caroline has “excellent rapport with [the] children, resources, knowledge and range of activities.”
“I gained subject knowledge in the area, too!”
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.
