Will you be staying up? Artemis II, the first manned Lunar Flight since the 1970s, is due to take off at 11.24pm UK time today. Hopefully it can go ahead this time.

Links perfectly with my 1969 Moon Landings workshop and so exciting to watch #historyinthemaking

Hi everyone! Dipping my toe back into social media - let me re-introduce myself!
I'm Kathryn, the owner and provider of all things History Van. From initial enquiry to delivery, it is all me and my trusty Van, Harold (yes the Van has a name).

Happy Historying!

A wonderful visit from the History Van to Reception last week they loved exploring as you can see 💙

[Richmond Hill PA @RichmondHillPA]

Year 2 had a fantastic visit from The History Van. A full day immersed in the day to day lives and activities of the Tudors - the good, the bad and the ugly! Everything from armour and wielding cross bows to weaving on looms and choosing ‘cures’ for victims of the plague!💙

Y2 had a brilliant day yesterday with @HistoryVan. We learnt so much about the Romans and especially loved being a part of the army!

[The History Van @HistoryVan]

A lovely couple of days with the pupils and staff of @lakeside_don We were on the trail of Rameses II on Monday and digging up the Vikings on Tuesday! Looking forward to revisiting for Roman Britain in the New Year.

[Lakeside Primary Academy @lakeside_don]

Y4 had a fun and interactive day with @HistoryVan where they learned that there was so much more to Vikings than just being savage fighters. They explored different aspects of Viking culture and worked as archaeologists to interpret evidence. @TheRoseLearning @Cornerstonesedu

We had big decisions to make in my Castles workshop before the 1266 Battle of Chesterfield - would we keep our oath to the King or join the rebels?
