Testimonials:

"I booked a pirate day with Dan Tastic Education as end our class topic on Pirates. It was FANTASTIC! The engagement with the children was fabulous and energetic! A day of cross curricular activities and workshops covering Maths, literacy, PE, Drama, geography, history, story telling and much more in a fun and engaging way. They clearly had my Year 2 Crew on board with their learning! Dan Tastic Education came to our primary school last week to kick start our new topic of Pirates and he certainly got us off to a great start. The morning was spent finding out about a range of Pirate information. There was such a great amount of knowledge on the subject and they were fantastic at communicating with the children. The children (and the teachers) laughed all the way through, saw incredible artefacts and got the children were completely involved from beginning to end. They were spellbound! In the afternoon we had all 60 children in the hall and they had no problems keeping them the children entertained with games, songs and stories. It was pretty mad at times & the children absolutely loved it. Many described it as 'the best day ever' and we got some fantastic writing about Pirates the following day. This is the second year that we've had Dan Tastic Education, and we would definitely book again next year!"
