Praise for this course:

Inspirational!

Do you know what? This is INSPIRATIONAL! I love the story, the background information, the ideas. It's a fabulous resource. It's also very supportive recognising that it's not always easy to tell a story.

Sara Collins

Really Good!

I think it was a really good setup - with you telling the story first and then all sorts of different spin offs. Especially I liked the beautiful storyboard, the way you told about your childhood carving and the life in the soil and the learning...

I found the taster easy to access and well laid out, bursting with ideas for further learning opportunities.

Jemma Robinson

My 10 year old daughter and I loved exploring the playbook together and now she has been inspired to write a nature adventure book with three of her friends!
