KS1 Science

Very good introduction to life in Celtic Britain and The Romans. Caitlin clearly knew her stuff and controlled three separate classes perfectly.

She knew how to use drama to tease out knowledge!

The children were so engaged and the subject knowledge was impressive. The children felt confident and relaxed to take part and join in. Laura's behaviour management was super and dealt with behavioural issues fantastically! Thank you so much for a super start to our Science Week!

Our children were all able to recall key points about the Fire of London which were cleverly woven throughout the workshop. The children all enjoyed taking part and how active and quick paced it was.

Extremely well organised, fun and energetic. Children were immersed from the moment they stepped into the room and loved every minute of it. Natalie had a kind and enthusiastic manner when working with the children

Staff and children thoroughly enjoyed the workshops and we’d love to have you guys back in the future. Many of the our staff commented on the pupil’s engagement in the workshop and were really impressed by the many, varied behaviour management strategies that were employed throughout the workshops. Exciting, entertaining and engaging, the workshops were well thought out and age appropriate. It has been great to see drama given more profile across our school this year and these workshops were the icing on the cake. Thank you

Maria was bubbly and positive and the children responded well to that. She recognised certain challenging behaviours in our children and adapted instantly. Our children had a fantastic morning. 

Caitlin was fantastic with the girls. They absolutely loved the workshops. The girls enjoyed learning about Charles Darwin and traveled back in time to discover animals that are now extinct. It was a very enjoyable experience. Thank you very much to Perform workshops for putting together such a lovely day.

The children were really engaged and fully enjoyed themselves. The Florence Nightingale lesson was great for consolidating their learning this term and has given me ideas for how to teach it next year. The 'toys' lesson was SO much more interesting than normal school lessons and gave us (the children and myself) the chance to discuss the toys they were less familiar with from the past.

Many thanks for such great experiences!

Bethany has great enthusiasm with the children and stayed in character the whole session. The children learnt lots about the seaside in the Victorian era and had fun whilst doing so. Highly recommended!

The workshop we received today was simply brilliant! The pupils remained engaged throughout the session due to the vibrancy of our facilitator and gained excellent knowledge of the key facts surrounding the Great Fire of London.

Thank you to Hannah!

Fantastic workshop, Abi had a great personality and it shone during her workshops. She had all children engaged and learning with a very inclusive approach!

Really surprised that a theme like Shakespeare could work so well with both the younger and older groups.

Sally was totally engaging. Children were hooked right from the start of her workshop and the energy and enthusiasm with which she delivered the sessions was infectious. I was particularly impressed how she was able to mix key scientific facts with imaginative drama elements. 

I was impressed particularly with the high level of vocabulary used. Zelia did not 'talk down' to the children at all. Great active workshop, especially the group work needed to create the dinosaur shapes.

Thank you for coming to our school. The children really enjoyed it. They were still singing the 'rap' this morning in class! They learnt a lot of great facts about Florence Nightingale.

The content of the workshop was fantastic and completely relevant to our curriculum. The lady who ran the workshop was energetic and entertaining and the children thoroughly enjoyed the activities.

The content of the workshops was age appropriate and contributed to developing creative skills and imagination. Emily was a very skilled practitioner who managed the children well and engaged and involved them successfully. The children found the workshops exciting and enjoyable.

The lady I spoke to to book the workshop was really helpful and pleasant. All the booking information was informative and received quickly. Laura phoned before the workshop to confirm the booking and discuss details of the workshop and timetable of the day which was very useful. 

A really good example of how to teach a range of subjects through drama. We will use the session as a stimulus for some creative writing. Her behaviour management was impressive and she was able to include all children, including a boy with severe learning difficulties. 

The students loved the workshop and the teachers felt it was a fantastic way of getting into the topic of Divali.

The workshop certainly enhanced the children's understanding of the Fire of London. Thank you.

The workshops were fantastic and many History National Curriculum objectives were covered in the workshop. All children were engaged and enthusiastic.

Very pleased with the sessions. The children loved them and really brought the different subjects to life for them. Also pleased that Laura was very good at controlling behaviour.

We all enjoyed the sessions which have prompted children to find out more about Egypt, France and other places. V. 'lively' children dealt well with! Full of Energy.

Worked really well having three workshops in the morning, very good value for money, all teachers agreed Jess was amazing. Looking forward to having you visit next year.

A really active, fun session. The children really enjoyed it and recalled the facts about how our holidays are different to those in the Victorian era.

All the children loved the workshop, Emily was amazing at transforming herself into different characters that brought the topic alive.

All the teachers thought Pamela was brilliant with the children and able to bring it to their level well. All the children really loved the experience and we have had lovely feedback from the parents as the children went home talking about it. 

As always the children thoroughly enjoyed themselves and with the workshops learnt a lot about their particular topics.

Asley engaged extremely well with the children and held their interest throughout the session. It was a fun way to learn quite a lot of facts, which were expertly reinforced through question and answer.

Children were engaged and it proved to secure their learning about the jungle with fun activities. Ollie was great with the children!

Gabriella had boundless energy. All seven classes had a great time. All were enthused by the Divalli workshop and enraptured by her story telling.

Great to see how the workshops are suitably adapted to the different age groups. It was an excellent starting point for a weeks work on Shakespeare.

Having spoke to the 5 teachers (of each of the classes that were involved) the feedback was that they enjoyed the workshops, thought they were educational and fun and they definitely engaged the children. We look forward to having you again.

Ceridwen was great with the children. They really enjoyed the session and were enthralled with the story told.

Great again. A lovely enhancement to our book week bringing fairy tale characters alive.

Rumble in the Jungle was brilliant. Children focused throughout. Both leaders were excellent. Thank you

Thank you for helping us to start our topic in such a creative way! Kelly was Brilliant with the children and they loved their sessions with her.

The children were all so engaged, and it was brilliant the way information was weaved into improvisation and activities. Perfect for KS1!

The children thouroughly enjoyed the workshop and Oliver was full of energy, taking the children on a lovely farmyard journey. Thank you.

The children were so engaged with this workshop. You could see by their faces how much they were enjoying it. Jessica's enthusiasm in her role really inspired the children. Thanks so much Jessica for a fabulous workshop. We will definitely do mermaid and pirates again.

Really inspiring and a great start to science week for the children involved.
