In History Year 7 have been working on their annual 'egg-stravaganza' (!) of turning the humble egg into a historical tableau. With suitable motivation in the form of an Easter Egg prize for the winners, students have been creating historical characters and scenes using eggs as the focal point. Some egg-stremely (!) egg-sciting (!) scene were laid (!) on, ranging from Albert Eggstein through to an egg-based depiction of Charles II's flight after the Battle of Worcester, where he scrambled (!) to flee from Cromwell's forces. Some groups are working on this over Easter, but hopefully they won't poach (!) ideas from those already entered.
Although a light-hearted activity, it just shows how historical understanding can be communicated in different ways, and encourages students to think creatively about the subject. My thanks to all students who put in the time and effort to get involved.
