“All of the activities were beneficial. From drumming to food to flint, all were curriculum linked. All activities promoted indepencence and team work skills. They also helped to practice with listening and attention. The story was also excellent. A massive thank you for the archery!” Jo Pikylski, The Disraeli School, June 2024.
