"Perfectly pitched. Held the children's interest for the whole time. Literacy has never been such fun!" Loders Primary School "The children returned to the classroom buzzing with ideas and eager to put pen to paper." Parrett & Axe Primary School "What a delightful day for the children.The children were really engaged and keen to demonstrate their creativity during well structured and imaginative activities.' Mark Gundry, Shute Primary School, Devon "One child said, 'I want to be an author when I grow up.' another said, 'I love playing with words and ideas.' We have highly creative children in our school but you gave them a vehicle to express their creativity and ideas. Thank you so much and it would be great to work with you again sometime."
