“Thank-you so much to Abby. The Nursery children really enjoyed the session. We likes the actions for the four main characters, in the story and we have been using them in our story telling. I would say that it would have been even better if visuals had been used for our EAL children. Puppets/pictures/props etc Thanks again”

“The Diwali Dance Workshop was great. We had booked the short 35 minute slot where children were told the story of Rama and Sita. They were encouraged to take on the role of different characters from the story and were then taught movements that would help them retell the story. It would have been ideal if these sessions were 45 minutes so the children could perfect their craft and have enough time to show off a final performance. Children were very engaged and were able to retell the story independently as a result.”

“Vivien was really enthusiastic about the activity. The questions about Diwali were good and consolidated the children's learning. The children loved the warm up with some Indian dance moves. Although the children enjoyed the 'What's the time Mr Wolf' game and the musical statues with the animals, the adults felt like this whipped them up too much and would have preferred the children to have concentrated more on the actual dance. We would have liked Vivien to discuss and demonstrate the Indian dance moves and speak about the names of the different moves. We had also agreed before that each group would get 40 minutes unfortunately some groups only had just over 30 or 35 minutes. Thank you”

“Very inclusive and informative. The children thoroughly enjoyed the sessions and it was nice to see an active outcome, where all children could participate. Thank you so much for the experience and we look forward to having you in school again.”

“The first person was really good and acted out the stories but the second person got the children to sit down a bit more.”

“Great workshop, only feedback would be that should be aimed at slightly older year groups.”

“It was fantastic for our Y6 children and they all got involved. Y3 children loved some of the interactive games, but there was a lot of standing around which caused them to get restless”

“I thought the workshop was engaging and the children enjoyed it. It moved at a good pace and the children got a good snapshot of Macbeth. Thank You!”

“Have visual aids to support the music. This would help the children to identify better with the characters. Other than that, the children enjoyed the music and the input. It was a fantastic day, thank you. Thank you also for being very flexible and accommodating with re-arranging the date.”

“The workshops were enjoyed by all the children. They liked the warm-up and the physical activities. The facilitator was engaging and prepared for the children. She was able to manage the classes and keep them on task. We did think there would be more on the play 'A Midsummer's Night Dream'. We felt that it had been assumed that the children had some knowledge of the play and had we known this we would have prepared the children.”

“A really good session. Children were very engaged. Really liked the link with books and children could relate to this. May be good to have images on ppt slides of the book for those children who do not know so they can make a link and bring it to life more. Thank you!”

“Our children loved their 'Bringing Books to Life Workshops, they were all engaged, everybody had a role to play and the final dances were impressive considering the time they had to prepare!”

“Some comments from the class teachers: The children really enjoyed the workshop today. Jo was great and really engaged the children. They loved all the activities. I loved how she read the story. I thought the session was fun and engaging. I loved how she read the story and got the children to stop and do actions, make comments as characters. I would like to try this way of reading myself at times. Children loved it. I think it was a great drama session.”

“All the children really enjoyed their Workshops. Lots of great and inspiring ideas. 'West End In Schools' were brilliant in helping us to organise the event too and create a timetable that suited our school day. Thank you.”

“All of our children loved the workshop offered around the book Matida. We just wish we could have done it for longer but this was an issue with our school timetable not an issue with the workshop or company!”

“West End provided us with great dance workshops on the Chinese Zodiac that were enjoyed by pupils of all ages and were a fantastic opportunity to try something new. They were great with communication and organisation and really friendly throughout.”

“The workshops were a great addition to our unit of work on A Christmas Carol. The leader was energetic and engaging and it was so great to have someone else use the element of drama to bring the story alive. It gave us, as teachers, the opportunity to see just how much the children have understood the story and the work that they have been doing leading up to the workshop. All of the children thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity and everyone, including some of our children with special educational needs, was able to get involved.”
