A huge thank you to Lucy. The drama aspect of workshops was very inspiring and different for many of the children.

We all very much enjoyed our day with Martyn. We found him inspiring. I loved the Creation story he told my Reception class. It gave me many ideas for follow-up work. Martyn's assembly was thought provoking and involved the whole school. We feel very privileged to have shared a day with him.
