Dear Chris,

Thank you so so much for our Roman day. The children went home buzzing and lots of parents have mentioned how much they all talked at home about what they had learned. One has even sent me a photo of Celtic stew tonight that they’ve made! The staff were so impressed with the delivery that they saw. We are really looking forward to our Stone Age day in December with you and would like to book two more workshops next year for years 2&6.  

Many thanks again! [M]

Hi Chris

We all had a lovely time and the children are buzzing with all the facts they learnt!  We are writing instructions today for defusing a bomb.  Thank you for a lovely day.

World War Two Workshop

Hi  - We had such a fantastic day! The children learnt lots and were really enthused by the activities and the opportunity to get the feel of what it was like to be an ancient Egyptian! It consolidated our existing learning in the subject and extended it into new areas. Several children have since brought in further information that they have been inspired to find out at home.

Hi Chris, I just wanted to express my sincere thanks for visiting us at [...] today. Our children had the most incredible morning with you (as did us staff!) and were absolutely gripped from the moment they met you. They adored building London & acting out the events that followed, completely enthralled by your costumes & wealth of knowledge. The carousel of activities were excellent and it was truly wonderful to see the children handling artefacts and making links between their learning. Your hard work & dedication to providing high quality, historical experiences is crystal clear to see and I have absolutely no doubt that the day will remain with the children for many years to come. We feel so lucky to have been visited by you & I promised the children that as per their wishes, I’d invite Samuel Pepys back to visit! Once again, thank you ever so much for taking the time to visit us today- we absolutely loved it.

Great Fire of London Workshop

My favourite part of the WW2 day was the bomber mission and the quiz because it was really interesting to find out what it was like to be in a plane carrying out a succesful bombing mission and learning all about the people who done it. 

Maybe if you made the plane 3D so you could climb inside and look out of the windows.

World War Two Workshop

A great day had by all. Children were very engaged and enthusiastic. All children were able to take part. The resources were amazing- they really helped the children to understand our topic on Vikings which brought it to life.

Anglo Saxons... and Vikings too!

Anglo Saxons Workshop

Lots of interactions. Lovely to have visual resources for children to see and help build. Pitched appropriately to enable children to be fully engaged at all times.

If you wish to have motivated and engaged children from a hands on workshop I could not recommend Chris highly enough. The resources really brought the afternoon to life.

Fantastic day, keeping children engaged throughout by using practical and hands on activities.

The questioning helped the higher ability to explore potential problems, while extending the lowers too. A wonderful mixture of practical activities with problem solving, which really helped the children understand life in the Stone Age.

Hi Chris,

I felt very privileged to be in school that morning and to watch your session.
The children loved it and I was so surprised with how much they remembered afterwards - that's hands on learning for you!

We did discuss what they enjoyed ... during the session and although I haven't got any particular names this is what they came up with:

They enjoyed:

1. Helping with the props / building things
2. Dressing up
3. Pretending they were the people from the stone age / sitting in the shelter, in the house etc
4. Reading the information
5. Building Stonehenge

Dear Lidmann,

Thank you so much for visiting us today - I really felt like I had travelled back in time to the land of the Angles! Your boat building scene was excellent and you are very skilled at your work. The timings of words and actions and storytelling was just right. There was not a murmur in the hall- they were all spellbound, as I was too!

...thank you so much for Tuesday. The learning has been amazing...

...the children were able to remember all of the events during the fire, and it has really stimulated their writing.
