'My Year 3 children absolutely loved the Stone Age workshop. All abilities were catered for and the children were transfixed all day.' Miss Love - Year 3 teacher - St Peter's Primary, Herefordshire

'It has to be said that we’ve all had a fantastic day. This workshop was our introduction to the Stone Age topic ready for Summer 1, the children are now so excited to start the topic and it has to be said I’m a lot more enthusiastic about it now too. Adam’s subject knowledge was brilliant, he was also fantastic with the children (helps that’s he’s a teacher too!). Thank you Adam! We are hoping to having him back into school very soon! I’d definitely recommend him!' Miss Ives - Year 3 teacher - Hateley Heath, Birmingham
