What parents say about Perform holiday courses

Tom loved his time at Perform. It was obviously a brilliant experience for him and I felt very reassured leaving him there for the 3 days. Thank you.

My child LOVES Perform. She enjoys spending time with her friends and getting lost in the stories. She also met people she wouldn’t have met anywhere else!

The team were so professional and the production was amazing! So incredible what they managed to put together in 3 days!

Ella had such fun and was so proud to be able to perform for her family. We enjoyed the show enormously. Thank you so much for creating such a fun and happy environment for the children.

Emilia was buzzing with excitement every time I came to pick her up. I’ve never seen her so engaged in an activity. The teachers were fabulous!

Lucy always loves going to Perform; making new friends, having fun, singing and performing. Lucy really does get the best and most out of it!

My daughter had a great time and Oliver & Chloe were lovely

Maia and her friends loved the workshop and would love to do more!

Fantastic experience! My girls had an amazing time and can’t wait to go back. I can really see how this will bring out my eldest's confidence and start my youngest on a path of performing singing and dancing!

Drou, Katie and the rest of the team we’re brilliant. Freya loved it. It was also the first time she didn’t get overwhelmed in front of the audience. We were so proud of her and she was so chuffed too

As always absolutely brilliant. We come back to Perform again and again - the teachers are incredible, the kids have so much fun and grow in confidence from day one, and the end show is just a wonderful and heartwarming display of everyone's hard work. Thank you so much x

Great course, great staff! The whole experience is reassuring in terms of both the learning and caring for my child.

Ishbel loved it-she asked me to book this camp every halfterm! Mathew produced wonders in just three days. I really appreciated his energy, his enthusiasm and his professionalism. I was also impressed by how precisely he handled checking children in and out, for their safety. Thank you :)

It was amazing! The kids came home singing and dancing the songs from the first day. They absolutely loved it!

Rosa

My son was delighted to be back for the October half- term Jungle Book course. He enjoyed the drama, singing, dancing, games and other fun elements of the course. It has boosted my son's confidence to perform in front of an audience.

Noa couldn’t have enjoyed it more! Great team. Thankyou so much.

A great course. My two children loved it. Thanks to the fabulous facilitators.

Olivia absolutely loved the camp and was thrilled to be a wicked witch in the performance. Her front wobbly tooth fell out just one day before the show. Perfect timing for the witch image:)

Really excellent engaging teacher/leaders. Oliver loves Perform. He will definitely do attend additional sessions as it is a superb, fun & positive learning experience.

Nicholas absolutely loved the holiday course and the teachers were amazing and got all of the kids really involved.

Stanley and Herbie enjoyed the Wizard Of Oz course so much. Stanley said that he would like to do the class "every day, forever!" It’s been brilliant and has boosted their confidence.

I could not believe how ‘professional' the performance was considering the children only had five days in which to learn their parts and feel comfortable with each other. A tremendous achievement!

My son really enjoyed this course! We have been singing the songs ever since. I am very happy to have found something that will help him develop some really useful skills - alongside some fun music and singing with other children.

Mia thoroughly enjoyed her week and we absolutely loved seeing the results in the fantastic show. It was great and I can’t recommend Perform more highly! Mia struggles with confidence at times and I think the boost these classes and shows give her is invaluable.

Maxi absolutely loved every second of what was his first ever summer course. He didn’t stop singing the songs all week and the performance on the last day was very impressive, given the time they had. 

My daughters have absolutely loved the camp this week. The teachers were so enthusiastic, encouraging and kind. The performance was so impressive, a testament to their hard work and teaching approach.

Very enjoyable. The girls loved the course and got so much out of it. The show was fantastic.

Sophia gained a lot of confidence during the course. She enjoyed it very much and made some lovely friends.

Rachel, Emily and Lisa were amazing. What they helped the kids to achive was fantastic. It was such a proud moment watching Ailbhe. She relished in it. There was a real sense that the team had got to know her and she was totally at ease with them.

Freya loved her time on the course and I was amazed by show today. The children were brilliant and so engaged. Oliver’s enthusiasm was infectious. I was really impressed.

Rhia’s attention on Mira was fantastic. She was very kind and caring. We also loved the overall attention on fun and confidence building rather than the performance itself. 

Minnie knew nobody at the start of the week, but came away with a new set of friends. It was the perfect dress rehearsal for school in September. She absolutely LOVED it! Thank you for an amazing week.

Thank you to Katie for her personal attention - my daughter absolutely loved the holiday course and is looking forward to the next one!

My daughter had an amazing time at the Wizard of Oz holiday workshop. Sam and her team are very professional and encouraging.

I want to say a big thank you from bottom of my heart to the team for supporting my daughter. I could see the improvement in her confidence and she loved every second of it. An amazing workshop!

My daughter loves Perform and the humour in the scripts. I am always impressed with the enthusiasm and energy of the teachers. Thank you Perform for helping my child shine!

Teachers were very friendly and energetic. My two children were engaged immediately to the class environment and they seemed very happy. They told me they made two new friends in the class:)

My child greatly enjoyed the session and wanted to do it all over again. I've already seen how much more confident she is, greeting people and answering their questions when she would usually just hide behind me and whisper her responses.

Molly loved this course and I was impressed by what they achieved in 3 days.

The holiday course was very beneficial for my son. It has boosted his self confidence. The mix of activities during the day kept him engaged and eager to attend. I was really happy to see him doing his dance steps, singing well and delivering his lines and actions with great confidence.

Really a wonderful experience for Megan and Melanie. We would recommend it to everyone!

Chloe and Zoe had a fantastic week with loads of friends, great singing dancing and acting. Thanks for putting up such an amazing show!

Lily enjoyed every moment and every time she goes to Perform has a fantastic time. Lily's confidence has grown so much since starting Perform and each of the teachers she has encountered have been amazing.

Tomas really enjoyed the roleplay and was very enthusiastic about the day whilst back at home, renacting some of the story for us. Thank you for your hard work.

I absolutely love Perform classes and Ayah adores Miss Paige. It was a wonderful production, the kids loved it! I was especially pleased that you guys were able to accommodate Zidan’s Allergies. The entire experience has been quite wonderful.

Cannot thank the staff enough, they were amazing. The kids had so much fun. The show was incredible as the kids enjoyed it. Thankyou, thankyou!

Zofia really enjoyed her time at Perform. Her self-confidence was boosted and she became more open towards new experiences. Thank you for the wonderful experience Zofia had with your team.

Isla really loved her course. She was very excited about learning the songs and loved the teachers.

Olivia says: “Perform is amazing because the teachers are just amazing at what they do. They give so much enthusiastic inspiration to the children. It's my favourite thing to do.”

Isabelle really enjoyed the experience. It was her first time with Perform and drama overall apart for some activities at school.

Both children really enjoyed their session. I think it helps so much with their confidence

Both of my girls enjoyed the three days course enormously. They loved each teacher and had so much fun with them each day.

Alice thoroughly enjoyed her time with Perform. It was a positive experience for her and I think it gave her the confidence boost she was needing. In fact, she even told me that she's feeling more confident :)

Fantastic team and production, as always. Effie’s confidence has really grown since she started Perform and it brings pure joy to her life! It’s lovely to see her so passionate about something. Thank you!

Aled is absolutely fantastic and always has been. So full of life and Anya adores him. He led the class so well and I could not believe how well all the kids did in 3 days! Thank you Aled!

Such an amazing course! Lydia had a great time. The teachers did a fab job getting them all to do so well. All very friendly and engaged with the children. The crafts they brought home were lovely too.

Edith loves Perform and the teachers were great. It is amazing just how much they learn in 3 days ! The performance at the end was excellent.

Fantastic! My son absolutely loved his three days in Muswell Hill. Thank you for taking great care of him and bringing out the best in him. He loved all the singing and dancing and I was so proud of watching him play his part in Alice and Wonderland.

Both of my sons (ages 5 and 8) love doing the Perform holiday clubs together. They love all of it - the songs, the parts, the costumes. And I have seen such development in both of them in terms of confidence and eye contact in public speaking.

It was such an amazing course. I’m so happy that I let her join this course. My daughter loved it. She is so happy.

Excellent, my son had a wonderful time & thoroughly enjoyed the experience

Amazed at what you achieve in the allotted time.

 Joseph absolutely loved the teachers and activities. I was also really struck by the thoughtful warm-ups and the way the teachers engaged with and stimulated the children. Sophie and her team had his undivided focus!

Katie did a super job. This was the first time my daughter had done a performance and Katie was good at accommodating her needs while encouraging her to do her best.

It was all well organised. We appreciated the daily updates and I was impressed with the preparation work to understand the child attending. The team seemed great and very positive. Lorea really enjoyed it and did seem to have more confidence.

Our son really enjoyed his holiday course. He was very excited about the songs and would sing and dance every evening back home. He's already expressed the preference to come back again and we are very grateful to the entire staff for looking after him really well.

Jasmine really enjoyed herself. The final performance was amazing. All the kids seemed so happy and very confident...even the younger ones. Very impressed!

It was lovely how all the kids were integrated and made to feel a part of something. Our son is on the spectrum and for him new relationships are difficult but everyday he came back talking about a new friend or activity he enjoyed.

Keep up the great work - we all look forward to Perform sessions - so much so that our daughter is up with the lark begging to go each morning which is brilliant!

Great job all around! There was a broad mix of ages and everyone participated. Catchy tunes and fab choreography. Thank you for everything in supporting Olivia’s needs. I’m one proud mommy!

Sophia loved every moment of the course! She was always excited going into the session and sad when leaving.

We love Emily and Tom! They are great teachers; so enthusiastic, helpful, friendly and entertaining. Stephanie and Marianne had a great time. They are already talking about wanting to do it again next year! 

Imogen had a wonderful time and was desperate to go every morning. Her confidence has grown so much in just a week and she performed her solo lines really well after being nervous to begin with.

Lucy absolutely loved the week. It was a great script with interesting parts and singing for all the children. Alana and her team were so enthusiastic and did a fantastic job of getting best out of the kids. They all performed brilliantly and sang their hearts out today. Big thumbs up from Lucy.

Absolutely amazing! Can’t believe they had only been working on it for 5 days. I was really impressed!!

My two sons had a wonderful week in Neverland. I can really see the development in both of them - the little one in particular was a bit shy and timid when he tried Perform for the first time last summer, but last week he was loud and proud! Such a great confidence booster in a creative setting. Many thanks!

It was brilliant and my son had a fabulous time. It was wonderful to see him flourish during the performance and be really enthusiastic about the whole thing!

My son had an amazing week, made friends and had lots of fun. The songs and materials were great and he was happy to go to Perform everyday of the course.

Both my children said it was the best thing they had ever done. Both have been ecstatically engaged all week. Jess is an absolute wonder. As a working mum who suffers from huge guilt when sending my kids to camps over summer, it was an utter joy to know how happy they were. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Perform was the best part of my kids summer experience in London. My children learned improvisation, diction, exaggeration and various other elements of theatre skills. Robyn and Mathew were like a dream as they made the kids have fun.

Casey said it was “Spectacular”.

Holly loved the half-term holiday course and has been singing the songs ever since! As always with Perform, the teachers were full of energy, enthusiasm and theatrical professionalism. Their commitment and ability to engage with the children is faultless.

I have never seen my daughter wake up and dress herself, actively look at homework and basically skip into a classroom. She absolutely loved these sessions and wished it was actual school! The teachers were enthusiastic and warm and we would totally book again!

The girls had an absolute ball and looked forward to every day. I particularly liked how the team looked after each child and tailored the training to their level.

Very impressed with this holiday course. My daughter really enjoyed herself and the show at the end was excellent.

Both Leonardo and Nina had an amazing experience! Since the first day, they came home excited and happy singing the songs and waving to all the kids who were doing the club with them like they'd been friends forever. I was impressed how quickly they picked the lines and songs up and by the enthusiasm they brought home. For them was an incredible experience. 

Brilliant programme, wonderful teachers. Emily had so much fun. Three teachers in the class, lots of support, happy environment, fantastic for all four Cs development. Big, big thank you for all your wonderful work.

Victoria is a delight and the kids really engage with her. She challenged my daughter Orli and brought out the best side of her, so big thanks!

Unbelievable what the children had achieved in just three days! Aimee enjoyed it very much!

Theo really enjoyed the day. He was singing the song in the car on the way home

Roman loved it and has been singing and talking about it all evening. Thank you so much for all the hard work. It makes a real difference.

Theo had a brilliant week and, even now, is still talking about the course, the friends he made. I was slightly concerned about how he would get on, given that it was an unfamiliar location and teacher, but I needn't have worried. He had a ball!

Thank you Laura & team for making Anabelle's half term so special and  memorable. She loved it.

I’m always amazed how the team pull off such a wonderful performance out of the children in such a short time. Charlie loves it so much, and he generally doesn’t like any holiday clubs!

Very professional and the kids came back each day telling us how amazing it was. Thank you!

Juliette had a great time and was incredibly happy with the holiday camp over half term.

Our kids really loved the Perform course! We are new to Perform and we're really glad that we joined the holiday camp. My son is a little bit introverted, so it was great to see him really step up his confidence in just 3 days!

Robyn and the team were excellent. They showed lots of enthusiasm as well as care for the children. Annabel had a thoroughly enjoyable 3 days and we were very proud of her performance. Great work in such a short space of time. Thanks to all!

Both my girls loved the Narnia course. After the first day they both talked about it all evening, I have never seen them so energised and excited! We will definitely be signing them up again!

Anna had a fantastic two days at Perform. The staff engaged her fully and gave her the opportunity to participate in a very good production. We shall be booking onto the Easter course!

We love your courses and workshops and so does our daughter Maria. Everybody from your team is absolutely incredible and Robyn was such a star. Thank you for everything you are doing.

We are used to the high standard of all Perform "products", the weekly classes and the party we recently held are always outstanding, and Grace loves it all. May I say that this course really managed to blow us away! The script was fantastic, the songs have been played in our home on repeat and the show was really extraordinary!

Our daughter has loved Perform ever since she started four years ago, she is now in the Perform Plus weekly classes and still continues to literally bounce her way to the classes as she looks forward to them so much. The Zak and Zara holiday course this summer was so well organised and the show was amazing! Daniella and Katherine you did a great job! Thank you!

Lisa-Marie and the team were excellent, professional and friendly. Eliza enjoyed the week immensely and grew in confidence as the days went on. She loved the games and developing the show.

Amelie loves perform and her confidence is just growing and growing! She was so delighted to be Beauty in the show today and what a performance it was! I'm amazed as to how the teachers managed this in just a few days. Amelie would have rarely put her hand up a while ago and now she is constantly raising her hand and is very eager to be involved in all the games and activities. 

Mayah loved the Perform summer course! She had a wonderful week. Every time I picked her up she would tell me in detail what they did. Not only about practicing the lines and songs for the performance but also the games they played. She really had fun and enjoyed her role. 

Anthony, Jess and Olivia were fantastic, such great energy, and they were fabulous with the kids. We will definitely be recommending the holiday courses and attending again.

Aled and Karen are so lovely warm and welcoming. Truly felt so safe and happy leaving Jai with them. They have a great energy and we're so professional and nurturing at the same time. Thank you!!!

It was simply incredible the positive energy and the obvious joy on everybody's face - teachers as well as children. It was clear all children truly had a great time together and had formed great friendships and trust in the teachers. The end result was very impressive, not only by its quality but also by the pride and happiness they all took in singing, dancing and listening to each other's lines. An incredible experience. 

One word...Three syllables...FABULOUS!

Matilda says it was epic and that she wants to go again every week. She really enjoyed it and mad lots of new friends. We are still singing the songs and have had a weekend of 'I miss Perform' and a few tears that it is over.

Alice absolutely loved this course. She has struggled with her confidence in school and so we were keen to sign her up to something over the summer which would help build her confidence. We could not believe how assured her performance was and, most importantly, it was clear that she loved every second. She did not want it to end! 

Laura, Karen and Ollie were fabulous, so enthusiastic and what they produced as a show in 3 days was amazing. The kids so obviously were enjoying it all. Oliver loved every minute of it. I think it's been the highlight of the summer holidays!

This course was excellent and lots of fun for the children. Aled does such a magnificent job of encouraging the children to participate in such a warm, kind and fun way.

My daugther had an amazing time. Each time we drive past the place where the course took place she says she wants to go back to see Sam and Tim!

Amazing performance! Unbelievable what they achived in just 3 days. Keri was amazing and so caring. We all love Perform and can't wait for the new term!

Both my children have thoroughly enjoyed the courses they have attended. They have helped to boost their confidence and communication skills and develop their imaginations. 

This was the first time we attended anything of his kind and we were impressed with the output. It was Anya's first time and she clearly was a little shy but the level of commitment from Hannah and her team was incredible!

Raphael has not stopped talking about it! And was disappointed that it was only 3 days!

Luke loves coming to Perform every week and has thoroughly enjoyed the holiday course over the last 3 days.

This was the second holiday course Thomas has done and he absolutely loved it and you can see how much his confidence has grown

Johan thoroughly enjoyed the course, and it was noticeable that his concentration was improved by the experience, one of the primary reasons I chose this course. Well done to the teachers, Ollie and Karen.

My son loved every minute. He came out at the end of each day full or stories and joy. It was wonderful to watch the show and see what the children had achieved in such a short time!

Elliot absolutely loved his holiday course. He can't wait to come along to the next one! A fantastic experience all round.

Fantastic - he loved it and has been very shy in front of small groups so this was a really big thing for him. We're already booking for the next one - thank you!

Sophia and Victoria enjoyed their Perform holiday course very much. They loved EVERYTHING they did there and the final performance was fabulous!

All of the children looked like they were having an absolute ball. It was a delight to watch and the enthusiasm from the producers was infectious. Super.

Wonderful - Bette's been extremely happy!

My son Freddy thoroughly enjoyed the 3 days at Perform holiday course. It was fantastic and he loved it.

We can't wait for the next course we can attend! Georges just loved it.

I was so impressed by how much the children learnt and achieved over the 3 day course. Amber had a blast! Thank you!

"Mummy I love it!!! I don't want it to be over! I want to stay!" -- Philippa (4)

I was genuinely overwhelmed by how much ALL of the children enjoyed it and what they where able to accomplish over the three days. Incredible. I would book this over and over again. Fabulous!

Second time Aidan has done a holiday course and he loved it again. We'll definitely be bringing him back for more holiday sessions in the future.

High energy and clearly a lot of hard work put in by the producer and teachers. Thank you! Our son loved it and wants to do more classes.

I thought the staff handled the 'performance' element of the final day well, in that it was all very encouraging and nurturing. I'm sure my daughter will ask to do it again!

All fantastic - a really amazing week. We will definitely do a holiday course again and recommend your incredibly professional and amazing courses. Thank you.

My boys had a wonderful 3 days which was topped by a lovely performance. I have no doubt they will still be singing the songs in the months to come!

Superb team clearly interested in their work and very engaging. My daughter loved it. We've already booked the next camp!

My son really enjoyed it - his first comment afterward was, "Can we do the summer camp?"

I'm really impressed by what you achieve with these kids in just 5 days - brilliant!

At 4 yrs old who knew Charlotte could act and sing and learn a whole show in 3 days amazing, she had a ball.

The boys had such a great time! I don't see how it could have been much better.

Can not praise Gemma and her team enough. Fantastic experience for my daughter and I will be booking the next holiday course.

I thought it was excellent. Both my children loved it - they clearly felt involved and included and stimulated and had a lot of fun!

Alexander loved every minute of the course, thank you.

Matt was absolutely amazing as usual. My daughter loves these holiday workshops - school holidays wouldn't be the same without them! 

Thank you to Oliver for his enthusiasm and professionalism. I'm a drama teacher and would highly recommend Perform to anyone. A massive thanks.

I am really impressed how the teachers create this show in two days! Bravo to children and teachers!

Wonderful, it was Florence's first time at Perform and she loved it. She has been singing the songs all week, perfect high energy Summer holiday fun to keep them entertained.

The course was brilliant. Alexandra absolutely loved it and is heart broken that she needs to wait until September for the new term and Perform to begin again. Emily and Matthew were great!!

Ella went in to class with a smile, performed with a smile and came out of every rehearsal smiling, singing and full of joy. She had a wonderful time, thank you.

They seemed to have fun from the moment they walked in until the moment they left. It was a great exercise for building the confidence in both of my children. A really wonderful week!

Another great Perform experience that provided a great show and lots of new skills during the week.

I thought Lucy and Natalie were absolutely brilliant. I have a rather resistant child and she loved every minute - honestly amazing

Sophia LOVED every minute of it and it has worked wonders with her confidence. I will be recommending Perform to all I speak with.

My children had a great time, learnt so much. Mathew Barksby was great fun and energised the group no end. They loved him.

Samih enjoyed himself so much this week and seemed to develop in confidence from this experience. He learned the songs so quickly and managed to keep up with everything going on despite being the youngest. I was very impressed.

This is the first time Nancy has attended Perform. I have been blown away with the communication and professionalism of staff. Nancy has had a ball and we were all very proud of her today.

We really appreciated the night time e-mails telling us about what happened that day and what to expect tomorrow. Thank you, I really feel my daughter has benefited from the experience. She says 'mummy please can I do it again soon'.

Haseeb had a great time. Matthew and his team did a wonderful job. Loved the final performance, bring out the best in all the children and the way it was conducted. Highly professional.

I would like to say a huge thank you to Oliver who made such an amazing effort to help Arabella settle. We loved the show and it was wonderful to see all the children enjoying themselves so much, thank you again.

I'm just so impressed by the professionalism of the staff. All 3 of them were super with the kids and Leila just loved it from start to finish

My two girls absolutely loved it! They are still singing all the songs now. Oliver and Karen were both brilliant with them, and a lot of fun. I was amazed to see how confident they'd become after just five days. We will definitely sign them up again.

My child has sensory processing problems but I am delighted with Moya, Olivia and Rachel who really know Lucy and can get the best from her. They are very professional and just lovely people to deal with (listen to all my concerns!)

Both girls enjoyed it, especially Amelia (aged almost 8) and the enthusiasm of the teachers was infectious. Lucy (who is only 4) had a wobble on one day and was reluctant to go in, but she got over it! It was a really positive experience for them.

I think the staff give such great energy and creativity to the event. The 4C approach is phenomenal!

High quality very personal well organised I could go on v impressed. I thought it was a little expensive when I paid but now I see why. Sam was approachable and warm. My daughter was well stimulated and happy.

Sam really enjoyed the week. He was a bit overwhelmed, being one of the youngest in the group and never having been in any sort of play before, but he stepped up to the mark and wasn't all that quiet on the day!

I think the Woking Perform Team did a marvellous job. My daughter really enjoyed her week with Perform. I was a little anxious my 'nearly' four year old would be too young but she fitted in and had a really super time. 

Fantastic the way you keep the children absolutely focused and excited throughout whilst giving them a chance to boost their confidence. Will definitely sign up for weekly classes. A big thank you to the producer and staff.

Really catchy songs which Evelyn enjoyed learning. Impressed that Moya played the piano for the performance as in my experience children sing better with a 'live' accompaniment which can adapt to the needs of the children. 

This was Stella's first experience of perform. It was amazing to see her joining in, doing the moves and the singing and to hear her say her line and her name at the end of the performance was just amazing! Stella had a great week and the performance was superb!

We think it's brilliant for building confidence and have recommended it to others.

I was impressed by the enthusiasm of all the team and astounded that they managed to get my timid son to perform so confidently! Well done!

I was amazed at how much the children learnt in one week.

Both of my children absolutely loved it! Thanks so much for the great experience. Perform is professional, fun and a great chance for the kids to gain confidence :)

We really love your work! I love seeing the children enter the world of their imagination and then feel so good with the practical result. Jamie was really proud of his work. We were delighted.

Imogen loves her Perform sessions and they are really helping her gain confidence

Very professional with the needs of the whole child at the heart of it.

I love it. The kids love it! We all love it!

Absolutely brilliant! Isla thoroughly enjoyed it and I was amazed at the progress in 3 days! Couldn't stop grinning during the performance.

Anthony had a brilliant time - and I was so impressed at the performance. His lines were audible and he was clearly loving being on stage. It brought tears to my eyes.

As always I was amazed by what the Perform team had managed to achieve with the children in such a relatively short time. Their energy and professionalism set the standard for children's camps and it is always a pleasure seeing the team working with the children.

An ideal holiday experience. Small group so plenty of attention given to each child. Excellent.

They both really loved it which is wonderful particularly given Sophia is still so young. Thank you - they will be back!

They loved the holiday course and a week on are still singing the songs and practising all of the actions. Thanks!

All the teachers are very animated and have an infectious happiness.

India always enjoys partaking in the Perform holiday course. For her, and me, it's as much about the fun and games they do over the three days, as the final performance. As before, she really enjoyed it and I felt she was in safe hands.

She loved it! We've already booked on the next course for the Easter break. She was absolutely glowing after each class.

The course introduced them nicely to the world of Narnia, which they hadn't read. The teachers kept the children engaged. It was a great way to keep the kids entertained at half-term.
