Wow! What a fantastic day we have had working with Danny!

The day began with Danny sharing his story and reasoning for building his company. The children were very quickly engaged with interactive activities which required call and respond as well as learning lines to a song and actions.

At one point, a group of children created a 'band' and played Dance Monkey and Shotgun. The main outcome for the day was for children in Year 4, 5 and 6 to learn a song about Bullying. By the end of the day all children in these year groups learnt a song and actions; some children even had solo roles and acting roles.

This was such a wonderful and memorable experience for the children.
