Make a Play – Primary School"Make a Play has been a fantastic project to be a part of and has always been a highlight of the academic year. It is one of the things that our Year 4s most remember about their year and a project that really encourages them to step outside of their comfort zone especially in terms of improvisation and performing in front of an audience. As a teacher, I have seen huge changes in the confidence of children in my class and have always had great pride in watching their performances. Even during the school closures, Artburst worked hard to make sure that our children were able to get the most out of the experience. " Year 3 Teacher Primary School Tower Hamlets.
Artburst co-ordinated the week magnificently and created a wonderful inclusive working atmosphere between all concerned, leading and encouraging the workshops which created the installation for the town hall. They fully understood the needs of our pupils and worked to ensure that all of the activities were appropriate to the needs and aptitudes of our students while maintaining challenging work for our mainstream partners. The final presentation in the Town Hall was very impressive and received high praise from all who visited the event. Most importantly for those of us working in the special needs areas, Artburst proved that they could make the process of art as important and as valuable as the product.Derek Lyseight-Jones
