During the initial run of performances in LEA Primary schools in Somerset, teachers were asked to give feedback on various aspects of the show. All feedback scores for age 4 – 9 are included in the results (not just the good ones!), and have been averaged to give the score out of ten.

REVIEWS FROM TEACHERS AND PUPILS

First from Science Coordinators and Teachers ~

"The children were utterly engaged in the performance and brilliantly entertained. As a teacher of 20 years I thought it was phenomenal - certainly one of the best things we have ever had in the school. It concluded our science week superbly, highlighting what science is all about - asking questions! Pitched perfectly - you understand what children need. I'm a fan!"                                                                                                    CG - Science Coordinator

"Very Different and very good"                  CR Science Co-ordinator

"A really entertaining performance - the children were learning without even knowing it     -  Teacher

'There were lots of great starters for questions in the show and the accompanying info pack was also very well thought out - I really enjoyed it and the children obviously found it brilliant fun too.'    N. G. – Science Coordinator

“…….very entertaining, good rapport with the children and some good science points.”     R F - Science Coordinator

  “I certainly enjoyed it…. keep it up, I think it's brilliant!”     G T - Science Coordinator

 "An original and fun way to make children think about science……..a thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining show that has provoked a lot of discussion. Thanks!"   

I was impressed and thought that the children thoroughly enjoyed the content. They were surely left with a lot of questions going through their heads! ..... I made a Curiosity Corner in the classroom, where the children either have an investigation to do, or find the answer to a question. This is changed each week.   B G - Science Coordinator

 "Poetry was excellent and calmed things down after the noisy bits."  

 And now small selection of comments from children ~

Seven to nine year olds

 "I thought the show was brileunt but it was too short it was the best show iv ever seen it was so good I wanted more. I remember your buk of wisdum." Tamarisk

I thought the show was extremely funny. I learnt that rainbows have other colours.   Megan

 I thought the show was the best in the world. The bit I liked best was most of it, but the stick was the funniest of all. I remember all of it. I got a tape in my head. I learnt that rainbows have more colers that we cant see and I learnt about water   Sarenta

 I thought the show was the best show I have ever seen. I liked the water trick, I learnt a bit more about science   Lauren

 I thought the show was funny, amazing, extremely unboring, and curious. I learnt that rainbows have more than 7 coulrs   Lauren

Ten and eleven year olds

I learnt that asking things can help you even if your asking a teacher. ‘I learnt science isn’t as boring as I thought. It could be funny sometimes! It’s a cool lesson now.’   Abi 

I’ve learned that you can make mistakes  but your mistakes can sometimes help you and give you the right answer.   Sam  

I learned to ask lots of questions for science and it made me think because it made science sound good and funny   Luke

When he told us about forces and gravity it was funny. It taught me that we should be curious about things around us and even under us.   Elisha

It will be stuck in my mind for ever becous it was so hleryus and every time I think about it, it maks me lafh my head of   Ryan

  I learnt a lot about gravity. Riddles in the book made me think and use my brain.   Arran  

  I learnt that asking questions helps more than knowing the answer.   Scott 

I remember it because it was really really funny. I learned to  ask questions and that you can learn something and enjoy it at the same time   Charlie

  I liked the riddles and I learnt to be more curious and ask more questions. I found not everyone is perfect and everyone has to make mistakes. I learnt that I always have to use my brain. I learnt about forces and pushes and pulls.   Lonan

  Now science isn’t boring any more   Sophie

   I learnt to ask questions more often. I also learnt that science is fun and enjoyable.   Chris

  I learnt that science isn’t all about astro physics. Almost everything has a bit of science in it   James

I remember it because it was funny. I learnt about the ultra violet bit of the rainbow and for anything to move it needs a force and to learn from my mistakes   Thomas

  'I enjoyed the show because the tricks were funny and I learned a lot more about science.'   Laura 

''The best part was when the stick hit you on the bottom'   James
