Greater London School We wanted the whole school to take part in something fun for the Queens Jubilee. Shooting Stars came up with a wonderful day filled with workshops. A lively demonstration, which captivated the children, and then plenty of activities for them to try. The ideas for the younger children were fantastically simple - like juggling with scarves - but quite magical. The older children really liked trying their hand at spinning plates or a unicycle. Thank you ever so much..

Herefordshire School Dear Shooting Stars,
I am writing on behalf of the staff at Egerton Rothesay to express our gratitude and thanks for the fantastic and successful circus day held at our school. It was a fantastic experience for the children we watched them practise their communication, concentration, hand eye co-ordination whilst thoroughly enjoying themselves. The children all came away with new skills which I am sure they will continue to develop.
All the children were engaged irrespective of ability and this was due to our instructor Paul. He was friendly, engaging and inspired the children to master different circus skills. He was also very flexible and discussed the additional needs of our children before we began.
The children and teachers had a great day and we hope to re book in the future.
Thank you

West Midlands Brownies I would recommend Shooting Stars to help assess both the Brownie and Guide Circus Skills Badge. We had a joint Brownie and Guide event of 2 hours at the beginning of term and one again at the end of the erm to give the girls time to learn new skills and practice them with a small performance at the end. Our instructor Paul was funny, gave clear instructions to the girls and kept their interest for the whole two hours - they have asked me to buy some equipment so they can practice!.

Surrey Brownies We booked Shooting Stars for our Queen Diamond Jubilee celebrations - and the Brownies had the most amazing time. Jebb was brilliant - he had them enthralled, entertained and thoroughly engaged, but also had a keen eye to safety. We ran this as a joint event with Westcott Brownies, one of whom summed this up as the best Brownie Adventure ever. Id certainly use Shooting Stars again, and heartily recommend them to anyone wanting a circus skills workshop for their youth group..

Paul was very helpful in providing these ideas and suggestions surrounding activities for particular age groups and we would definitely consider using Shooting Stars for future workshops. The session was thoroughly enjoyable and I think we all took some new skills away with us!.

Well worth the money and a further workshop is definitely something we would consider and I will certainly recommend to other units in our area. A most enjoyable evening - and I even learnt how to juggle!!!! .

He did a brilliant job and was really good as part of a whole team of folk looking to entertain a very poor and challenging neighbourhood of visitors. Rebecca.
