Please thank Charlotte for the fantastic delivery of our three workshops! Our Year 2’s has a wonderful time and the sessions helped them consolidate their learning in an active way!
Thank you Natalie (and Perform for schools) for more great drama workshops - they are enjoyed so much by the children and we are always so impressed with the quality of the teaching and content. We look forward to booking more soon!
Children really enjoyed the sessions - Claire was very engaging and the feedback from the children was really positive.
I thoroughly enjoyed our Shakespeare Workshop Activity. The instructor was very enthusiastic and fun. I liked acting out Romeo's death.
-By Amar (a pupil in Year 5)
The workshops were great and allowed the pupils to show off their drama skills and talents. We were really impressed with Sarah Annakin, our workshop facilitator, and would happily have her back again!
The children were really engaged and fully enjoyed themselves. The Florence Nightingale workshop was brilliant for consolodating learning and has given me some ideas for my own teaching. The workshop on toys was so interesting and inspired later conversations about toys we remember and love.
A huge thank you to Natalie! The children had the most amazing morning and loved learning with her. She was so engaging and enthusiastic; we all had so much fun!
A fantastic workshop! Amy’s enthusiasm was great and she had all the children engaged and enjoying the workshop. Thank you for a great morning!
I was very impressed with Charlotte. She not only enabled the children to learn new facts and build on their prior knowledge, but also maintained their engagement and ensured that behaviour for suitable for the learning.
Laura was super enthusiastic and the children responded well to her. She had to teach 3 workshops back to back and showed fantastic energy from beginning to end. The activities that the girls completed were relevant to the topic, enjoyable and helpful to support the learning of their topic. We will be using Perform to support other topics next academic year.
