Outreach Feedback

Sunday 10th June 2012 - 11:33 Nothing but positive feedback
"Just a quick line to say a massive thank you for the science magic you provided just before half term. The children to a one - and staff too - thoroughly enjoyed every second of your shows and I had nothing but positive feedback about the materials display."

Wednesday 16th May 2012 - 11:41 Three times I thank you!
"Thank you so much for your amazing show. When I did my science assembly yesterday I had to explain it would be more 'genteel'. I did bubbles and balloons and the children had great use of prior knowledge from your show. So thanks!
As part of our whole school task, they had to design a javelin, discus, shotput or hammer which would travel the furthest. My class decided on the javelin and every one of them had 'fins and a nose cone, otherwise it won't go as far.' So thanks for that too! In addition, we talked about making a smooth surface to aid it going further - "like the smooth silk for the table trick."
So three times I thank you!!"

"The ForceWorks are absolutely fabulous - the children had a blast! We went through most classes and a few older ones would like to go again. They learnt a lot and there were plenty of questions raised."

Sunday 15th April 2012 - 15:45 The children have been buzzing
"Can I just say a huge thank you from all the Year 3 teachers and pupils. We all had a fantastic time in the inflatable planetarium, and both the children and staff learnt a great deal! It was wonderful to have such an interactive experience, totally tailored to the questions the children were asking...and in real time too. The children have been buzzing with enthusiasm (especially about the answers to their personal questions) and have been explaining incredible things to each other all afternoon."

"I just wanted to write and let you know how much we all enjoyed your show at the Brighton Science festival on Saturday. It was the first time I had actually seen you “perform” and it was fantastic! I brought along a small group of our Y6 pupils and they all had a great time. Thank you for making us all laugh!"

"Thanks for such a brilliant day! The children really enjoyed themselves. They didnt believe me when I told them that we were going to space in the morning. They were amazed! (which has resulted in some great writing!) Year 3 and 5 were also 'over the moon' (haha) Have a brilliant year. See you next time."
