PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOL VISITS
Primary and Secondary School Visits
“I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank your team for a wonderful 2 days of clay animation. The facilitators were just fantastic, they had the kids excited and engaged throughout the whole day. My teaching partners and I all commented on the quality of the program that was offered to our students. In my 10 years of teaching I have not come across a more wonderful incursion. We have also had many stories from parents that the students have been talking about the experience and making clay characters all week. Thank you for creating such a high-quality clay animation experience for our students. We can’t wait to have you back at St Dympna’s again.”
Jess Barnett, Year 1 Teacher, St Dympna’s Primary School, Aspley.
