“Very appropriate stories for the class, visual with good use of props and everyone involved. No one opted out, it was a super session, thank you; more please!”
Irene, Year 7 Teacher, Mansfield
“The children were captivated... no-one wanted Thonis to leave... having an Egyptian character in role right there in the classroom added another dimension... the world of Ancient Egypt came to life... I thoroughly recommend you try it”
