From Chris's diary, 14 December: 'As well as my online stories,I was lucky enough to actually perform LIVE in front of a young audience last week! The visor got in the way of some of the actions (see pic below!) but all went very well, the children responded beautifully and I had the following terrific feedback from staff:
“You covered so many points in the EYFS profile for communication, literacy & expressive arts...it was spot on, once again thank you.”
“Wonderfully inspiring for the children (and staff!) You never cease to amaze me how you aim it perfectly, whichever age group you work with.”
Hopefully I’ll be back on the road again properly soon, and able to visit you all with stories and workshops once more. (Now taking bookings, hint hint!) In the meantime, the online performances are still going strong.'
Details can be found on the online events page.
"Thank you for your wonderful contribution to literacy and the arts. The children and staff in my nursery class love your work, and so does my 12 yr old son! Hopefully see you in school soon😁 "- Parent and teacher in online feedback, April 2020
“My son wouldn’t pick up a book until your visit, and now he can’t put yours down! Thank you for introducing him to reading“ - Parent and teacher at Portsmouth Grammar Junior School
