Colonial Tales (1 hour show) - British Colonisation Interactive History Show

Colonial Tales. school incursion is a great alternative to the full day "Colonial Show".

Providing 1 hour of non-stop fun, educational and accurate anecdotes, this is the show to select if you have a tight budget.

The Colonial Tales school incursion presents a hilarious and educationally wonderful experience - a living history of the convict - a journey as seen through the eyes of the children of New South Wales.

Sergeant Kennedy, the Wench or Convict James Murphy takes the students on a trip through the annals of time to the convict days and the early colony of New South Wales.The students relive the Voyage of the First Fleet, raise the King’s Colours, attend work orders and then this is where the fun begins as your students and school experience participation in a recruitment of soldiers into the New South Wales Corp and the arrest of a student convict.

Designed to provide more educational information than hands on interaction and fun, the 1 hour alternative show is a great alternative.

The questions are ...

• What to do with the convict?

• Can the students hold their wits and tell the story of the Black Velvet Band and how the British Government introduced the practise of Cribbing which framed tradesmen for the crime of theft?

• Can they bear to hear the serious, yet funny stories told by the characters and the reason they were sent to the Colony of NSW?
