We’ve created a brand new set of learning resources for Key Stage 2 teachers on the topic of Ancient Ireland.

We’ve also created a bespoke Minecraft World called Ancient Ireland, with activities linked to each part of the learning resource and plenty of opportunities for children to enjoy exploring this fascinating period in our history.
