Some of this years feedback:
Teacher Ms. McNulty wrote: “This week, our Early Years children took part in a fantastic circus skills workshop with Andrew Van Buren. The children had the opportunity to practice their gross and fine motor skills, while building their confidence and resilience”.
“It was a joyful experience – they absolutely loved it!“
Silverdale Primary Academy Headmaster Mr Davies said: “They had a wonderful time learning about Philip Astley, the children said it was amazing, so you can’t get better than that”.
Howard Metcalf – Pierre Angulaire wrote: “The circus skills was the highlight of the day. I had not appreciated your ability to “perform” prior to yesterday morning and it served as a great way to bring the group out of their shells. I have also acquired a new interest in Mr Astley and the history of the circus so you definitely have a new convert!”
“Tellingly, we made references throughout the day to passion. Finding something you are passionate for. Being passionate about where you are from. Being passionate about making difference in your community. We could not have had a better demonstration of this than you input during the morning session which really helped to frame the day around those themes of passions, commitment and self belief”.
