Don't just take our word for it:

"The pack itself is full of excellent warm-up ideas, the story and characters are very clearly presented and the lessons so well laid out, that even the most inexperienced drama teacher will want to use it. I would recommend it highly to any teacher who wishes to follow the new guidelines recommended in the Revised Curriculum."
Joan Burke, Scoil Sheamais Naofa, Bearna, Co. Galway

"Thoroughly enjoyable, informative and educational. Pete gave us many tips on how to create drama with children, with or without props, using voice, body, poetry, story-telling and the power of our imaginations. I have transferred the knowledge I gained at the workshop in my teaching of drama in the classroom."
Elaine O' Donnell, Barna N.S., Galway.

"This manual by Peter Mullineaux is both a valuable and user friendly teaching aid in the area of Drama. It gives the students a variety of drama techniques to explore and deepen their understanding of various characters and situations."
Sinead Carroll, Galway Educate Together School, Galway

"My impressions of how the project impacted on the children, both as individuals and as a group, are very positive. I learned a great deal about the children in my class and also watched them evolve and grow. My sixth class year was made up of sixteen pupils: eight boys and eight girls. Over the course of the project I observed the children:

• Coming out of their shells, daring to explore where they had never been before
• Going from the stage of being inhibited to opening out
• Becoming comfortable with non-verbal language (sounds, movement)
• Moving from being giggly and unsure to having full confidence in what they were doing and respecting difference in others
• Having total respect for one another and supporting one another o Wanting each other to do well and full of the sheer joy of the project"
