Paul was absolutely fantastic. He arrived promptly and set up quickly. The brownies were kept thoroughly entertained whilst learning many amazing circus skills. Leaders were also encouraged to join in and I confess I am about to order myself a new set of juggling balls as completely addicted! I would recommend Shooting Stars, as apart from all of the above they were also very good value for money.
Thanks again

A really enjoyable circus skills session that both the Brownies and the Leaders enjoyed! Even better, some of the girls found they had hidden talents with the stilts, which they want to continue learning..

Hi Steve
I just wanted to say what a fabulous day the children and staff at Kingsland CE Academy have had today.
Dave was amazing with both his show and workshops and had all the children gripped and in awe of his knowledge and skills.
The staff have also commented about how much they had enjoyed the show too, and those who took part in the workshop say that they wish the sessions had been longer my time tabling as it was good to see the children having so much fun in the process of learning- it was good to see the teachers enjoying the challenges too.
People including senior staff members have mentioned to me how personable Dave was, just the right amount of friendliness and professionalism and how well he adapted his circus show to such a wide age range of children.
So thanks again for a tremendous start to our Science Week -Dave is a credit to you and if you would please pass on our huge cheer and thanks to him from ALL of us at Kingsland.
Regards

I cannot recommend Shooting Stars Circus Skills enough. We have booked them on two different occasions to run a workshop with young carers in Bromley and both times they have not failed in providing the children with a fun and memorable day. Paul was a great instructor who explained all instructions clearly and was always on hand to give the children and adults! tips and support using all the equipment. We will definitely be booking them again!.

Winston visited our school for 2 days as part of a science week and the children absolutely loved his performances. His shows were very engaging and his workshops built on what the shows delivered. Winston was able to cater his performances for key stage 1 and key stage 2 and even did workshops with our foundation and nursery children!
Staff have had hugely positive things to say and I myself will definitely look to book again in the future! Thank you so much for inspiring our children and getting them excited about science.

A very enjoyable night for all and age appropriate. Only thing to be aware of is noise level of spinning plates which can be loud for those with spectrum disorders. If you are not aware it is coming you cannot prepare for it. Now that you know - it is worth the booking!.

Jebb was superb, turned up at time stated, exceptionally courteous and appreciative to the adults, huge and varied range of equipment, brilliant with the kids, held their attention with an excellent display, whilst instructing them on how to deal with the kit themselves in a safe way. Couldnt rate him any higher, I have recommended Shooting Stars to our District Cub team. It was a really rewarding evening, thanks to all..
