We have had various workshops come and visit us in the past but they just dont compare to this. The brownies all thought it was brilliant and I know that they were completely in awe of our instructor...he really did impress them and it is often hard to impress 20 9-11 year olds! I have had phonecalls from most of the parents commenting on how fantastic the evening was and how much their girls enjoyed it. At least half of the parents are now looking at contacting Shooting stars for birthday parties or suggesting the company to their childrens school..

I was very impressed with how the Instructor involved all students and made their self esteem soar! He enabled everyone to feel success.
One of the young people visiting our playscheme, for children and young people with special needs, said it was the first time he had achieved! whilst the Instructor helped him to spin four plates at once!
The children loved the day... dressing up too with the hats and waistcoats was a lovely touch which added to the atmosphere.

We cant recommend our instructor Paul and Shooting Stars enough. Our Brownies had a fantastic day and all learnt new skills, even the leaders learnt some as well!!! Whats more they had earned their Circus Skills badge at the end..

Excellent! Another time I think we would have a reception session as well as a KS1 and KS2 sessions as it would be easier for the instructor.\nGood management of over exuberent behaviour, friendly yet firm and insistent!.

I just wanted to say on behalf of 1st Bromsgrove Brownies, how much the girls and us really enjoyed the circus skills workshop that Paul gave us today. A fantastic and really enjoyable day. We won't hesitate to recommend you to the rest of Bromsgrove Guide Division. Paul also dealt with our girl who had Asperger's very well - mind you she turned out to be really good!!!\nThank you once again.

Wow! What a great day! You and your tricks had a huge impact on both the children and the adults at New City School. We were all enthralled by your circus skills! You have broadened the children's experience of science massively by introducing them to the impact science has on real life and that science is happening around them all the time!! You were fantastic with the kids and although you worked with a variety of age groups throughout the day - all teachers said you were 'pitch perfect'! So thank you for making such a positive contribution to the success of our science and technology week.
PS. Do you have an address - I have lots of cards and pictures from the children for you!
Thanks Laura

We booked Shooting Stars for a full day of circus skills training for 24 Cubs and Scouts plus leaders. Have to say the whole day was just excellent. Paul the instructor was brilliant both in his circus skills and his ability to teach us. We were a right mixture of ages and ability yet he made it great for all - even those who had a modicum of skill in Diablo or Juggling he showed us how to take it to the next level. Fantastic day and thoroughly recommend..

Our group of 50 brownies aged 7-10 year olds had a fantastic evening. They were able to try a variety of circus skills and tricks, which gave them all their brownie circus badge. They were kept entertained and focused by their instructor. They all found it amazing when shown tricks by the instructor and they were able to try them for themselves. They all said they would like to do it again in the future. .

Our school has pupils with a range of special educational need. During the workshops the instructor gave out instructions that were pitched so that pupils could understand.

All pupils had a really great time, and the staff involved enjoyed it too!

I would recommend "Shooting Stars Circus Skills" and would book them to come here again on another occasion if funding came available. Excellent fun!

I just wanted to say a massive thank you for the Family Circus Skills sessions we ran last week. Both sessions were pretty much fully booked and the trainer was fantastic.

Some quotes from parents:

"We loved the whole session from beginning to end!"

"We enjoyed all of it! The children were interested all the way through. I enjoyed being involved with the kids as they learnt new skills."

"The instructor was polite and patient and the children listened and learnt. Excellent session!"

Please pass on a massive thank you to Nick. He was very professional but the most striking thing was just how much he seemed to enjoy his job. I think it was this that captured the attention of the kids and parents and encouraged them to keep going even when they found things tricky.

The circus skills activity under the guidance of Paul was great. We have some wonderful photos of the girls enjoying their new found skills and will gladly send you some on a disc if you would like them. we have parent permission for photos, no names .
Every group did something different and every girl achieved a new skill. The last group was able to show their skills in the final presentation to everyone. Paul was amazing and appeared to be enjoying himself too. He commented that our girls were polite and thanked him which was good to hear. Will definately have another visit in the future, we go to Jay Millers circus every year so love the skills needed to be in the circus. Thank you for your support in arranging this activity for us.

Students were extremely excited and thoroughly enjoyed the activities on offer. They enjoyed using the equipment and were particularly challenged by the unrideable bike. The instructor was superb, handled the students very well and kept them entertained with his own skills. Lots of positive comments generated by staff and students. Would definately book again in the future. Thank you very much for an outstanding service. .
