Just a quick note to say a big thank you for the excellent tour you gave our sixth formers. They thoroughly enjoyed it and it fit very well with our day. The level of detail/knowledge mixed with the little comic touches and stories made an educational experience very entertaining. We will definately incorporate this day into our new AS syllabus for next year.
thanks again and see you next year!
| Dear Paul,
I would just like to thank you for sending Lance to our school
last Friday. He had the pupils mesmerised with Roman information,
both gory and otherwise!
We are looking forward to seeing him again for our legionary
patrol in July.
Best wishes

| Hi Paul,
Just thought I'd drop you a line to let you know that we've had
some excellent feedback from teachers on the use of the impedimenta
(and the tours) over the last couple of weeks. Here's an example:
"The replica artefacts were actually more interesting and
gave a clearer picture of Roman life than bits of broken pottery.
The Roman soldier was superb. His delivery was entertaining and
the children learnt a lot."
So, hopefully, as word gets out about the package we have on
offer, we'll be able to see an increase in take-up of sessions.

Very realistic, good quality resources -
an excellent opportunity for children to experience the real thing.
A lively, energetic presentation that gripped and held the children’s
attention. A memorable day for all!

Pupils were thoroughly absorbed and retaining
information well. The children were very excited after the day
and discussing many of the things they had learnt about.
A great day! Thanks very much.

We will book a whole day next year! So much
to cram into one morning!

John looked great! The children loved all
of the weapons and costumes. He started off quite strict, which
got their attention straight away. Then he was relaxed and funny,
the pupils were really involved.
John knew exactly how to address the year 6 audience, was extremely
knowledgeable and could answer all of the children’s questions.
I feel the pupils remembered the content better than they would
from a book or a video.
I think we would book a whole day next year.
