KS1 Geography

The sessions were super fun and interactive. Some children were reluctant to join the session, but came bounding out afterwards saying how much they had enjoyed it! Thank you!

Hannah led five different workshops today and I received positive feedback from all five teachers. Staff thought the sessions were excellent and they really supported the children with their understanding of each text. Hannah was skilled at engaging all pupils and including pupils with special education needs in each session.

Feedback from all teachers was really positive. The sessions were brilliantly paced and levelled at the children’s age group very well.

Hannah's conduct with both staff and pupils alike could not be faulted. The children were engaged from start to finish and even brought the very shy out of their shell. This is the first time the school has had a workshop of this kind but it definitely wont be the last. The children thoroughly enjoyed the experience and hot them buzzing about books on World Book Day. Thank you very much.

Lewis was really good with the children and pitched it age appropriately! He had a strong presence and the children listened well. He was good with behaviour management meaning all children were focused. All children enjoyed the workshop and feedback from teachers was all very positive.

The workshop was very well planned and very clear for the children. There were plenty of opportunities for the children to engage in what they were learning and to practise acting out scenarios. The impact was significant, as they were still using some of the catchphrases the next day.

The children had a fantastic time with Natalie and thoroughly enjoyed their workshops. Natalie kept them involved and engaged and the children were buzzing with excitement when they returned to the classroom. Thank you!

Evie really enjoys the class. I particularly like the emails Amy sends out following each class to parents telling us what the children have focused on.

She was amazing, the children were so engaged and it was very age appropriate. Thank you very much.

I thought Claire was very engaging and picked the right level for the children. They all loved it and learned a great deal of facts through role playing, a really good introduction to a history topic - Year 1 teacher

Natalie is really amazing and we thoroughly enjoy having her in school. She really engages the children and the variety of things she does within one session is wonderful.

Thank you so much Natalie. The children learnt so much and really remembered so many facts!

I thought Claire was brilliant - would definitely book again and have recommended it to other teachers in school. The children were all engaged and thoroughly enjoyed the session.

Children went away buzzing from the workshop, an enjoyable session. Thank you from Year 2 TH

All the feedback I have had from the class teachers is that they were very impressed with the workshops, both the content and knowledge of the leader. In my opinion what is a very sensitive subject was handled with care and appropriate sensitivity. Great workshops!

It was very involved all children were very animated and loved all the actions and remembered lots of clear facts they had learnt about the Great Fire of London.

All children engaged and the behavior management was superb! Thoroughly enjoyed by all staff and children as Eleanor's enthusiasm, creativeness and passion shone through.

The children all responded well to Natalie and she was able to get them all joining in the story and actions. The ideas were geared to the children’s ages and lasted long enough to keep their attention .

A good use of music and minimal props .

Professionally delivered and enthusiastically received by children and teachers alike :)

What a great workshop! The children and staff enjoyed taking part and didn’t stop talking about it all afternoon.

The children absolutely loved their Superhero workshop with Hannah today. They were focussed and engaged throughout the entire session and it was lovely, as a teacher, to see their imagination sparked and bought to life in such a simple, yet brilliant way. They couldn't stop talking about their encounter with the Big Bopper and were humming the song all afternoon. Thank you!

It was very interactive and engaging for all of the children. My nervous Reception children even felt comfortable to join in. The children absolutely loved it! Thank you!

The children were so engaged! They loved every second!

After speaking to the teachers, they all agree that the workshops were excellent. Hannah kept the children engaged throughout the session. The children that I spoke to after thoroughly enjoyed their sessions.

The children thoroughly enjoyed the session with Chloe and were still talking about it at the beginning of the following week too. She spoke to them at a level appropriate for Year 1 pupils and made sure all students were engaged in the drama activities.

All of our children from Nursery right through to Year 1 thoroughly enjoyed the workshops with Chloe. It was nice to see the children actively involved and enjoying the activities. Games that they can take away and play in the playground!

Kayleigh was fantastic all day for our workshops! Despite running four workshops for our Reception classes, she was energetic and enthusiastic in equal measure! I had nothing but praise and positive comments from the rest of my staff as well as all of the children. They really enjoyed their workshops throughout the day and as a school we would like to say a big thank you to Kayleigh!

P.S. Can we have you again next year?!

Great activities that the children loved.

Good control of the children at all times as a teacher I never felt the class was getting out of hand even though they were very excited.

Content was very relevant to our current topic. The introduction of new vocabulary was done seamlessly.

Luke was wonderful with the children and the content and execution of his performance was brilliant! He noticed the children that need extra focus/support and sat near them to encourage them.

Lauren was very professional and engaging. She engaged children who usually find it tricky to concentrate for extended periods of time.

We had the most amazing time, he was great. Fantastic behaviour management, the pace of the lesson was fantastic and all my children were engaged from the start right to the end. Excellent behaviour management and very enthusiastic. One of my children told me "Miss, that was the best adventure I've ever been on." Top marks for Perform and Andrew!

Lucy had all of the children engaged in the sessions and her behaviour management was excellent. My class is very challenging and she had high expectations of them in terms of behaviour which made the session run smoothly.

Lucy ensured all students were engaged and workshops were all exciting and informative. The sessions had a very good pace and balance/ range of activities.

The children were really engaged and excited by the workshop. Claire was very energetic and engaging, and the children responded to her really well. Thank you very much for coming into our school.

On behalf of all the children and teachers we would like to thank you for such an amazing time. The children were totally buzzing after the experience.

The Workshop Leader was highly engaging and delivered an excellent workshop, which was pitched to the right level for Year 1, whilst still extending their current level of knowledge. The children thoroughly enjoyed the session, which has definitely made a positive impact on their learning. Thank you.

The team have been so helpful in sending through all relevant information prior to workshop. Luke was punctual, and very professional. Friendly and approachable

He engaged well with the younger children and they all had lots of fun! Everything ran very smoothly.

A wonderful event. I cannot praise Charlotte highly enough for her punctuality, professional and friendly attitude, and excellent rapport with the children. I was delighted to see some very shy children throwing themselves into the activities with gusto.

Very positive feedback from all classes, the children loved their sessions. Rhia's behaviour management was super and the children all thoroughly enjoyed their workshops and were included equally regardless of learning need. A perfect way to reinforce our current circus topic!

The teachers who were in the hall with Laura were very complimentary about the relationship she formed with each group and reacted perfectly when she could see the few children who needed additional attention. She was professional throughout and all of the children came out of each session saying that they had fun and enjoyed the activities that they had done.

Andrew was energetic and engaging, having all pupils captivated during the session. Whilst it is more challenging for EYFS and KS1 to always respond sensibly during such an exciting, interactive experience, Andrew's behaviour management was excellent.

I have heard so much of praise and appreciation from both staff and pupils about the workshop with Chloe. Kingfisher Primary will definitely be booking with your company again. 

Marie was absolutely fantastic. We have used these workshops before and they have been great but Marie was something else. All of the children in the year group had so much fun and gained so much from the workshop. It was a delight to see children that are not normally comfortable/confident at doing things like this really coming out of themselves - this is all down to Marie and the delivery of her workshop. She is clearly perfect for her role and the children all felt very comfortable around her.

The sessions were really interactive! Carl delivered the sessions brilliantly and the children really enjoyed them.

We love your workshops! Always highly engaging, well planned and very well taught. You have successfully developed sessions where learning is fun and which pupils talk about in the playground with great enthusiasm!

I was so impressed with our workshops today led by Natalie. The session was so engaging and full of enthusiasm and the children enjoyed every minute. I was particularly impressed with how the session was very age appropriate and would highly recommend. Thank you very much!

We have always enjoyed Perform coming to our school and leading these drama workshops. James was absolutely brilliant from the word go. On arrival he was very friendly and asked many questions to inform him of the children he would be seeing and protocols we have. He led his workshops with great energy and enthusiasm despite the hot conditions of our hall. The children loved every minute of it!

Amazing workshop that the children loved. It was wonderful to see the children's faces, they were so happy. The coach has so much energy ... unbelievable!

Laura was really engaging and informative. Laura also had great behaviour management which meant the children were excited, but that this didn't get in the way of any learning!

The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves and the staff attending were very impressed too! How Emily had each child captivated and fully immersed in the experience was lovely to see. A truly fabulous morning!

Confident, engaging and involved all children even those who spoke no English! Thank you

The children and staff were absolutely buzzing after the workshop thanks to Rhia.

My colleague and I absolutely loved Devora's workshop, and so did the children. The level of challenge was high regarding speech and language and the children not only enjoyed themselves but learned something new too, especially when discussing emotions and body language. Devora made the children comfortable and her warm demeanour with them made them more confident and happy to take part in the activities.

The children really enjoyed the active workshop and the leader was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and had great behaviour management!

Staff were VERY impressed with Lucy's professionalism, content of workshop and the way she interacted and controlled the children. The children loved every minute, their attention was held perfectly and they talked about it for most of the afternoon. All the children and staff say THANK YOU

This workshop was exemplary. The staff said the children responded really well to Nicholas and he really captured their imagination. Thank you!

All the children loved the sessions and were thoroughly engaged.it was pitched at the right level and fired their imagination. Please thank Abi for a lovely day - we all enjoyed it.

I like the fact that the workshop was almost completely prop free - shows how we could innovate stories ourselves too!

As usual, brilliant.

Ashley engaged the children. We were very impressed with the knowledge he had and his management skills. We would definitely use him again and do book workshops yearly.

Laura arrived in good time and carried out a fantastic days worth of workshops with all classes. In talking to the team every class really enjoyed the workshop. The workshop really fitted in with our history week and the children took a lot from it. 

Behaviour management is always very good and a bonus. Flexibility and creativity excellent. Thank you!

Children all engaged and enjoying the input. Daisy made special efforts to include children with difficulties.

Each time I popped my head through the door, I could see all children engaged and in role experiencing drama first hand. A stimulating approach to teaching children drama. Thank you

Emily was very inspiring and engaging but also had brilliant behaviour management skills and could keep the children focused.

Excellent control of the children using her voice and clear expectations of behaviour.

Hannah arrived on time, set her activity up herself and then got on with it. The boys loved the workshop and it was well worth the money.

I am so glad that I was emailed for feedback as I was going to contact you today to let you know how fantastic Jen was yesterday. All the class teachers commented on how brilliant she was with the children and most importantly the children absolutely loved the workshops. Please pass on our thanks to Jen she was amazing!

Emily led the three workshops excellently and was flexible to our changed and rather tight timetable! The children thoroughly enjoyed the workshops, thank you so much!

I didn't personally see the workshops but feedback from teachers was very positive - children were fully engaged throughout. Will definitely book again next year.

Excellent as always. Very positive comments from staff and pupils. Thank you so much Jessica

I felt Katriona was incredibly engaging and managed my class well, who are a very challenging Year 2 class. She ensured they all had loads of fun but used great techniques to keep them engaged when some children were getting silly.

I have already asked our secretary to retain all of your information so that we can book another next year! Utterly brilliant! I particularly loved the control that Rachel had; she took no nonsense, but at the same time totally enthralled and involved all of the children!

I thought Oliver controlled the sessions really well and the girls really had fun. He also varied what he did with each each age group.

I am very grateful fo the continuing high quality of provision on offer. The children are always enthusiastic about the sessions

Excellent awareness of the children very quickly. Good behaviour management strategies. Everyone enjoyed the sessions

I would like to recommend the Angry Arthur workshop to all KS1 classes, not just those who are experiencing anger issues. The PSHE element was strong, with children being encouraged to identify and express a whole range of emotions. Rachel's story-telling and antics had the pupils enthralled and her management of their behaviour was excellent.

It was amazing!! She is very skilled and had all of the children hooked. I picked up some good ideas for my practice too. Excellent!

It was fantastic. The children were engaged the whole way through and Yvies enthusiasm and behaviour management was brilliant. They learnt a lot about body language, prescence and confidence.

It's amazing what was packed into the hour. Great stuff!
