Siski’s visit was truly fantastic from start to finish. The children were completely engaged and inspired by the perfect blend of real-life nature learning, humour and storytelling. It was such a memorable experience for them, they were buzzing with excitement afterwards and continued talking about it long after the day. A brilliant, enriching experience that brought learning to life.

Daniel was amazing and made the Shakespeare talk very relatable to the audience. He was charming and very friendly and answered all the audience's questions. He compared Shakespeare films with Shakespeare on stage and compared it to story lines in gangster films which were very similar but with different language. Daniel also showed us films from different decades and the differences. He was an amazing author with lots of knowledge and would love to have him back in the future.

Karen engaged the children from the very start with her warm, enthusiastic approach and her ability to bring stories to life. She shared her creative process in a way that was accessible and exciting, helping the children to understand how ideas can grow into stories and illustrations. The sessions were thoughtfully pitched, ensuring all children felt included and motivated to take part.
The children particularly enjoyed the interactive elements of the workshop, where they were encouraged to use their imagination, contribute ideas, and develop their own storytelling skills. It was wonderful to see their confidence grow as they realised that their ideas were valued.

We were incredibly happy with Ashley's visit! His assembly was great and the children really enjoyed the workshops. He left them very inspired and the children continued working on their stories at home.

Claire came into the school and ran a series of workshops with all the children. They were very well received, with the children enjoying both Claire's book and the opportunity to see their ideas brought to life through pictures. It was great for them to engage with an author.

Lisette visited our school and she created a real buzz round school! All of our students loved her visit and she provided a motivational spark for even our reluctant writers. Her warmth and passion for what she does was infectious. Thank you Lisette.

Visit to Chigwell School on Tuesday 3rd March: It was really lovely to welcome Eva to our school recently. We thought she engaged with the children very well and captured their attention through her interesting presentations. The children thoroughly enjoyed listening to Eva read aloud her stories. We would have welcomed more movement and interaction in the sessions, where the children could have moved around the hall a little bit – perhaps becoming a character from a story, or doing some actions from ‘Wednesday is for Wiggling’ – to break up the lengthy period of sitting. Thank you Eva.
