We have had the pleasure of working with some wonderful children and their teachers over the past year, and we are happy to say they enjoyed their time with us too... So much so that some of them have written to tell us as much!

South Petherton Junior School "Stone Age to Iron Age"
“...a great way to start the topic... It was great how Tom spoke to the children and involved them all of the time. Each session was short so they were always focused. It covered so many areas
and has helped me as the teacher to develop my subject knowledge!” Charlotte Cowley
St Michael's Primary School "Viking"
"...Thank you for the Viking day. It was great fun! The children and adults really enjoyed it and learnt lots!" Hayley Watts
Copplestone Primary YR3 "Ancient Egypt"
“I just wanted to pass on how utterly brilliant our workshop was today! Tom was fantastic and the children (and us adults) had a great day, really engaging and the perfect balance
between fun and learning. Thank you!”
Winsley Primary KS2 "Stone Age"
“We thoroughly enjoyed the workshop provided by Steamhorse
Interactive. Tom brought the period alive to the children despite
The Stone Age being a potentially hard period to 'sell' to pupils. His
props were authentic and varied; his facts pertinent and interesting;
and his delivery engaging and flexible (as he adapted the morning
to the children's interests and questions). The class
particularly enjoyed the spear-throwing demonstration and the
opportunity to explore the role of archaeologists too. Thank you
again for a productive and memorable morning.”
Leigh on Mendip, KS 1 & 2 "Isambard Kingdom Brunel"
“...The children really enjoyed themselves. Thanks for a brilliant
workshop...”
Rowde Academy KS2 "Vikings"
“...An absolutely massive thank you for today! It was amazing. The
children thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope we might be able to have another visit again soon.
Keep doing these visits!!..."

Hazlegrove Prep School Festival of History
Steamhorse Interactive were invited to help organise a week long 'Festival of History' for Hazlegrove Prep School in Somerset. A team was put together and in four days we covered from the Romans to WW1.
Here are just some of the children, teachers and parents feedback on the week.
"...Children were immersed in the stories of the past..."
"...Learning about Shakespeare was fun! I love doing the acting even if Juliette did die in the end!’
‘It was the best week ever!.."
"...Just a note to say thank you for all your hard work putting this week together. We’re all exhausted from learning so much…’
"...Personally, the Hurdy-Gurdy man and the Leonardo talk today have been my favourites… Lots of stuff I might have known before (in the deep recesses of my mind!) but brought to life & linked together really well..."
"...A vast amount of knowledge, a wide subject area and an extraordinary week..."
"...What I enjoyed most of all was the Steamhorse Team, because they created history right in front of us … in other words it was awesome.."
