An author event like no other

Spartapuss author Robin Price will inspire & engage your pupils with a cross-curricular event that covers reading, history & creative writing.

Robin says: 'I'd heard that some author events can fall flat. So I've designed my Spartapuss event to be different. It's not just an author reading from their book and doing a quick Q&A. It's about having fun with history and inspiring the kids to write their own stories in the workshops.'

Your pupils will get to:

  • Write their own Roman stories using Roman objects!
  • Act out a Roman battle / plan a Roman banquet
  • Spin Fortune’s Wheel with a fun quiz

A whole day of activities:

  • 1 hour assembly (up to 100 pupils)
  • Followed up with three (or four) 1 hour creative writing workshops in class
  • Up to 30 pupils per workshop
