“Engaging and pacey activities.”

Mr Murphy – Horton Grange Primary School – January 2024

“Communication and teamwork developed. English and Maths skills used (Some maths a little tricky). Exciting new challenges and they were introduced to new jobs. Children engaged and on task.”

Ross Watson – Dame Allan’s Junior School – January 2024

“The children really enjoyed all the sessions and certainly learnt a lot of valuable life skills. They really engaged in the concept of creating their own business and thoroughly took the task to heart. This task allowed certain “less academically” minded children the chance to shine and showcase a different skillset.”

Claire Allen – Bailey Green Primary School – November 2023

“A fantastic session which allowed the children to develop a range of skills and apply in real life scenarios. All the children were fully engaged throughout, and the tasks really interested them. It was great having the volunteers in too. The children loved asking them questions and learning about their life at work. Thank you so much for a great day it was enjoyed by all.”

Louise Jamieson – Bailey Green Primary – November 2023

“A fantastic and engaging day for all. A great range of skills used throughout the day. I enjoyed how each task had a purpose and built on each other – looking at how much money families may need to the children having a job to make money. The children have thoroughly enjoyed taking part. I feel the understanding of money, business and skills has certainly improved. What a brilliant day. Thank you!”

“Interesting and challenging games – enjoyed by the whole class. When problem solving, children demonstrated good teamwork and communication skills.

Children thoroughly enjoyed being budding entrepreneurs running their own jewellery business negotiating, buying, and selling their bracelets.”

M Watson – Stamfordham Primary School March 2023

“We all thoroughly enjoyed the day. The “hands on” tasks were really inclusive, engaging and created great discussion in each group. The day was really well organised with a variety of activities to keep the attention of all the children, including SEN children. It was informative to have a range of volunteers from different professions. They were all so kind and helpful towards the children. The children have discussed skills which will be taken forward within school and into future careers to come. Thank you. A fantastic day with great teamwork.”

Children were enthused and engaged during jewellery task and developed their skills.”

Louise Forbes – King Edward Primary School – September 2022

“Children engaged and enthusiastic in the afternoon making session. Morning session could be more interactive and more focus on tasks as a lot of the info was difficult to digest. Great volunteers and leader. Thank you!”
