Testimonials
Some pleasing feedback from schools that I've visitied.
"Thank you so much for leading our poetry day yesterday. The children were full of all the things that they had been doing on their return to school and were proud of their poetry. Our TA's, who attended the day showed me all the notes they had taken with a huge amount of enthusiasm and were bubbling about how some of the ideas could be used within lessons back at school."
