Teacher Evaluation/Quotes
- The Culinary Tale workshop was fantastic! Straight off the mark the ladies had everyone’s attention with their colourful dragon personas and the excitement amongst the children was instantaneous. It was an excellent way to deliver a message about healthy eating whilst also engaging the children with fun activities. I think everyone left with some new knowledge about healthy eating and why it’s so important (it also helps you breathe fire). I would highly recommend this workshop. (Miss Stevenson, Aberlemno Primary)
- This is a short drama to introduce a healthy eating topic. It is interactive and the children enjoyed the experience. There was the opportunity for the children to draw healthy Scottish food for their feast. They enjoyed using the scarves as props to be dragons. (Miss Norrie/Mrs. Cargill, Whitehills Primary)
- Great links made with health and well-being, our local community and drama. Links well with ‘farm to fork’ topic and healthy eating. Enthusiastic presenters who engaged the children. Well organised, resourced and planned. (Abby Crawford and Ailsa Falconer, Rosemount Primary)
