You Are What You Ate
Schools and youth activities
Free sessions for schools
You Are What You Ate is offering to visit every primary school in the Wakefield area over the next three years. Activities include walking to school in medieval costume (with prizes for the best costume), a fun assembly on medieval food for all children and a class on historical nutrition especially designed for year six (all for registered schools only). Eventually, this website will include a resource pack for teachers interested in developing further historical and nutritional activities.
For more information about how your school can take part in these free Medieval themed sessions, see here.
The project is also running special archaeological workshops (registered schools only) where children can learn about archaeological and forensic methods and find out more about how our ancestors lived and what it tells us about our health and lifestyle.
In addition, there will be numerous events throughout the year for children and families (freely available to all but registration often required). Most of these will run at Clarke Hall in Wakefield. Please click on events for more information on our activities, or contact us.
