Comments from previous workshops
Blackfriars Primary (Glasgow)
“I was very impressed with the workshop. There was so much variety, colour, interaction and fun. Jo is a great presenter and really knows how to engage the children in the ideas.”
Lennox Primary (Alexandria)
“They loved interacting with Jo and taking part in the activities with her. She has a wonderful way with the children, children who wouldn’t always engage in group activities, engaged from the get go. “
Lochnell Primary
“The workshops are very appropriate for the age and stage of the children. They thoroughly enjoy them.”
St Roch’s Primary
“Jo had to adapt her delivery and activities to a very wide range of differing needs in our school. Jo was patient and engaged with everyone and we got some lovely interactions from the hardest to engage.”
