"A brief note to express our
thanks for such a brilliant workshop. All the
children throughly enjoyed and benefitted from their involvement.
Today they have talked of nothing else. Just a brilliant way of
ensuring enthusiastic, interested pupils who want to research further.
I will be asking you to return to my year 6 next year."
S Bromley, Deputy Head/Year 6 teacher, Worsley
"The Blitz school workshop was thoroughly enjoyable. It consolidated the topic very well with a real hands on experience which all children were able to participate in."
Nicola, Year 3 teacher, Salford
"A thoroughly exciting
and enjoyable session. The children were
enthralled by Darren's stories and being able to handle real WW2 artifacts, especially the incendary bomb pump! We were most grateful to Darren for providing us with extra resources to follow up in class. A fantastic in-school experience."
A Pepper, Y6 teacher, Sale
"Just a quick thank you from both me
and my class. What a fantastic day!! We all learnt
so much and had loads of fun too. Really hope you will
be able to come back."
J Kirkham, Year 5/6 teacher, Derbyshire
“I just wanted to thank you again for the
great time we had with you and also give you some feedback I got from the
children as I thought you should hear it! This is what they said about your WW2
workshop (in their words) - Mr B gave lots of interesting detail in his explanations and was very enthusiastic."
- Mr B was kind and trustworthy letting us touch everything - Mr B couldn't make it any better! - I enjoyed the marching. (quite a few said that!)
- I loved the bit with the air-raid siren. - I liked how we learned things in a fun way.
So, thanks again, all the best!”
Emma Lakin, year 5 teacher, Wirral
