Sally Steele (April 2013)
Thank you so much for such a carefully thought out programme. I loved your calm, wise, appreciation.

It was a wonderful way to get new ideas - and be reminded of old ones. I enjoyed the chance to work with enthusiastic like-minded people.
Alex Wilkie (October 2008)
I found the day absolutely brilliant and have already taught a couple of lessons to Year 3 using your planning. The most valuable thing for me was to actually take part in the activities as it gave me a deeper understanding of the drama techniques.
Claire Stokes (September 2008)
I came here to be inspired and I have been. Thank you for such a great day of drama that I can use across all areas of the curriculum.
