Testimonials:
“The children reached the end of the workshop and were so convinced that the actor was the ‘real’ Florence. It was only when they worked out that she would be nearly 200 years old that they realised that she was an actress.”
—Henry Hinde Primary School 2019
”There was such a range of activities within the workshops so all children were kept engaged and interested. It was not only informative but also gave the children the opportunity to participate in a range of drama activities to help them understand what it was like for Florence. I am sure that this will lead to some excellent writing over the coming days and weeks.”
—Echelford Primary School, 2020
