Get your hands dirty with real archaeological activities and artefacts!
Time Seekers Topic Days are an exciting, hands-on addition to any primary curriculum, designed to spark curiosity, inspire learning, and make history unforgettable. Working alongside a professional archaeologist, children can journey through Britain’s past—from the ancient Stone Age, through invading Romans, to the perils of World War II—or explore wider global history with a day focused on the mysterious Maya civilisation.
During the day, pupils will get the rare opportunity to handle real and replica artefacts, uncovering the fascinating stories they hold and learning how historians and archaeologists gather, analyse, and interpret evidence to piece together the past.
Each specialist session revolves around a key archaeological question, giving children the chance to investigate, solve problems, and become history detectives in their own right. With expert guidance, they will examine primary and secondary sources, evaluate evidence, and develop their own questions, answers, and conclusions, experiencing history as an active, creative process rather than a passive lesson.
All Topic Days are carefully planned by a qualified teacher and fully aligned with National Curriculum objectives, ensuring that learning is meaningful and measurable. The sessions combine engaging activities, lively discussion, and hands-on challenges so that pupils not only learn about history but experience the thrill of discovery.
A Time Seekers Topic Day is more than a lesson—it’s an adventure in learning, where every child becomes a young historian, building curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong love of the past.
Currently, our in school Topic Days are only available for schools in Sussex and Hampshire. If you are located outside of this area why not try one of our Online Virtual School Visits.
