Here’s some fantastic feedback from teachers

LDNP water workshops:

“Brilliant visual aids and props with the session and good use of smart board. Children were engaged with learning during the workshop. Nice things taken home by the children that were brought in by Louise.”

“Tash ran a very succinct and informative session. It covered lots of ground reinforcing children's previous learning and also challenging thinking and behaviours. We have noticed the children talking about their promises and putting into practice their learning. Thank you.”
