Dear Martin,
Wow! What an amazing day our pupils, staff and parents had yesterday. The whole school from Nursery to Year 6 have been inspired by The Big Bug Experience to create their own technology bugs etc...
I don't think I can remember a time when so many parents have been so interested in sharing in their children's learning, the Hall was packed!
Thank you so much for a wonderful day and for inspiring all our pupils and staff. We look forward to booking you again.
A big thank you from us all at Five Elms Primary School.

Clare D'Netto
Deputy Head Teacher
Five Elms Primary School, Dagenham, Essex
