* A fabulous day for all the children in Year 2. Hands on and exciting learning! Planning that was emailed across was excellent and detailed and communication was great. Thank you for the dancing, dressing up and storytelling – we all thoroughly enjoyed your visit to our school. - Year 2 Teachers, Fordingbridge Infant School, Fordingbridge
* All of the staff and children had a wonderful day, which really enriched the children’s topic work on India.
- Miss Butler, Year 5/6 Teacher, Hyde COE Primary School, Fordingbridge* Susmita brought a flavour of India into our school for the day. She managed to offer a wide range of activities from arts and crafts, story telling, music, dressing up and cooking. Due to the special needs of our pupils Susmita was keen to take advice and adapt activities accordingly. All pupils were able to access activities at their own level and in a sensory way. It was a very successful day. - Ruth Drewett, Deputy Headteacher, Icknield School, Andover
* The sessions were very well planned, with clear objectives and a timetable to follow. You had good communication via email, and we were able to organise resources with ease. The resources you provided were lovely, and really enriched the topic of Diwali for the children. - Year 1 Teachers, Liss Infant School, Petersfield
* The dolls brought to tell the story really held the children's interest and brought the story to life. Susmita had thought carefully about tailoring the workshop to our needs. Because of this all the children at our special school accessed the workshop at their own level, very inclusive, thank-you. Susmita brought us the sights, smells, sounds, feel and taste of a diwali celebration! - Jane Brace, Deputy Headteacher, Maple Ridge School, Basingstoke
* The most useful aspects were the Indian dancing, as this will contribute to our performance at a local theatre. We have used the moves and ideas that Susmita gave us in our dance and added in our own steps. The Indian music was also very useful and the children really enjoyed the dance and drama to retell the story of The People Who Hugged Trees - which again we are using in a performance. We have continued the idea of 'freeze framing' and taken photographs for a display, so this reminds the children of the story. - Emma Wynne, Year 1 & 2 Teacher, Northern Infant School, Fareham
* We loved the large Rangoli pattern and look forward to others. The children enjoyed the dance session and dressing up in the Indian costumes. - Year 2 Teachers, Orchard Lea Infant School, Fareham
* It is always a pleasure to have Susmita visiting our school. She has a calmness which is very appealing to the children and they are captivated by her multisensory resources and storytelling. She provides engaging, 'hands on' activities, such as making collages of Rangoli patterns and dressing up in traditional Indian clothes. We would highly recommend her services.
- Early Years Team, St Michael's C. E. (Controlled) Infant School, Aldershot
* We wanted and were expecting a fun, cultural experience, Susmita met and far exceeded all the school's expectations. The most useful aspects was the sheer authenticity of it all. We will certainly have Susmita in school again. She had so much to offer. The resources gave a true flavour of India and Indian culture and Susmita was very engaging. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience. - Anna Brown, Headteacher, The Waterloo School, Waterlooville
