The two days were a great success. The feedback from the teachers and children was fantastic. The teachers informed me that the children are still bringing up topics that were discussed at your workshops even to this day. The artefacts i.e. the whale bone, went down really well. I feel the reason why the workshops were so successful was because the children were given the opportunity to ask questions and tell about their experiences relating to the subjects being discussed. I have found in the past that the workshops that some speakers do in the school are not very child centered and the children seem to pick up on this straight away. The manner in which both John and Johnny dealt with the children was commendable and i would be very quick to recommend them in the future to their schools. The workshops covered 12 classes in total and each class contained approximately 24 children in total. Many thanks for your time and effort. It was much appreciated by both teachers and children.
