History in Primary SchoolsCaboodle Arts supports the teaching of history in primary schools because we believe that by exploring and understanding our past we can begin to acquire a greater understanding of who we are and how our world evolved.

He explains the importance of the tombs, art and artifacts to the beliefs of the ancient Egyptians and their journey to the afterlife and gives pupils a hands-on lesson in how the tomb paintings were created.
Caboodle uses talking heads and living history characters to employ drama techniques and visualization, guiding pupils into past lives and experiences and then using what emerges as a platform for cross curricula work. Immersing themselves into the life of a child in the Blitz, an Evacuee, a Tudor barber/surgeon or an Egyptian tomb builder, pupils will be inspired into follow on work such as letter, diary and creative writing, art, information gather, DT and health awareness projects.
