“Wow! Our children loved the visit from West End Schools, birnging books to life. Amy the choreographer was fabulous and really alloowed the childrens' imagination and ideas to come through. The children gained a better under standing of books they were familiar with and in some cases they wanted to read the books they had explored. The workshop really fitted into our book week well. Thank you so much!”

“Last week we had Holly in from West End Studios as part of World Book Day celebrations. She worked with 12 classes over two days. Each class thoroughly enjoyed their workshop. Holly developed a lovely rapport with the children, she introduced the texts to the children with enthusiasm. All the chidlren and staff I spoke with throughly enjoyed the seesion of dance and moreover being immersed into a text through dance. May I take the opportunity to thank Holly for a wonderful two days for the whole of our schooo.”

“Year 3 Teacher: “The woman running the workshop was engaging from the first moment through the door. The children were engrossed with everything she had to say and it was pitched just right for their level. It was completely inclusive and every child was keenly joining in with all the activities. It really brought out their creative side while getting them to really think about characters thoughts, feelings and actions. Their freeze frames were particularly interesting – they had to think carefully about how to present their scene to their audience so that they could interpret what was happening (some fascinating ways of showing inanimate objects flying through the air). Even the children in the class who are vulnerable and known as being anxious were able to engage and participate feeling safe and confident and that was also due to the warm up activities that the woman used to get them all working together and setting the tone for the whole session that was friendly and fun.” Pupils: “I loved it so much!” “We got to make statues of different characters and really think about how they felt and what they were like” “I had a good time with my friends and my whole class” “I liked being able to move my body” “I played parts I would have never thought of playing” (a comment from a boy playing Miss Trunchbull) Year 4: “I liked thinking about how the characters walked and not just what their faces would look like” “We made a whole class scene and we never get to do that!” “I liked that we all did slightly different things that brought the whole book to life” Year 5: “I loved it so much” “I had so much fun” “I liked that we got to think about lots of different characters. I think it will help my writing” “The lady was really lovely!””

“Choose engaging stories to retell with the children and create a routine which all the children can follow. Good mix of group work and whole class routine. Always friendly staff :)”

“Rachel was passionate and enthusiastic which really helped the children engage with the session. The children loved the active storytelling and remembered the story well after the workshop. The session was well planned and executed meaning that all children could assess the session.”

“We had West End in Schools come to 'bring books to life' for our World Book Day. This was the second time we have used them and we have booked again already for next year. Alex, our session lead, was instrumental in encouraging all children, including those with additional needs, to take part in recreating the chosen story (Where the Wild Things Are) through exoressive dance and movement. This opportunity was actively enjoyed by the children and helped to make our World Book Day special.”

“This is the second 'Bringing Books to Life' session we have had. All of our classes had the Pinocchio workshops this time round, and loved it! Every pupil was enaged and enjoyed the workshopps (even our often reluctant older boys!). Thank you for wonderful, engaging sessions, which made World Book Day extra fun!”
