“It was honestly such a lovely session, full of energy, enthusiasm and scientific facts (Innovation and Beyond workshop) throughout. The children thoroughly enjoyed it and I loved seeing them so engaged and having so much fun with it. Some of the class struggle to engage with somebody they don’t already know but they instantly connected with the session and were hooked throughout!”

“Lots of staff across the school have found me to say how much they enjoyed it and it (The Benefactor) was really good to see a workshop which wasn’t just fun but educational. They all felt it had a really strong impact on the children” 

Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 have had a wonderful poetry day where we have created our own verses with actions that we will combine to make one amazing collaborative poem. We have actions for Christmas trees, snowmen, excitement and flaming Christmas puddings! pic.twitter.com/JddxVTFJfU

“The children loved the drama aspect of the workshop. The online was amazingly engaging for the children – thanks to Jo’s exciting delivery and constant interaction with individual children. The children gained a good understanding of the content of the play, Macbeth and hopefully a lifelong interest and enjoyment in Shakespeare. A huge thank you to Jo – she is fabulous!  I look forward to booking the next session.”

“All children enjoyed the session and were engaged and included. The children enjoyed linking the poem to texts they were familiar with. The workshop leader was very engaging and the children responded well to her. We loved coming together at the end of the day to share and listen to each poem. We thoroughly enjoyed the session and the poem supported our prior learning.”

“Following the as creatives CPD programme, members of the maths department came up with some brilliant ways of linking numeracy to Global Diversity Week!” 

The children learnt how prevalent maths is within the world in which we live, particularly based on things that they do every single day. They realised how all aspects of maths work together during problem-solving to enable them to solve the problems and crack the codes. Even areas of the maths that we have yet to cover, the children were able to use their prior maths learning to help inform their judgements and answers. Delivery was excellent and the children absolutely loved the workshop – thank you.
