The workshops were excellent. The children were in awe and both schools really enjoyed them. Thank you.

Thank you very much for the workshops they were enjoyed very much by both staff and children. We found them to be both informative and fun. We all particularly enjoyed seeing all the resources and many children loved buying the divas.
If there had been more time the Foundation Stage staff would have liked all their children to have had the opportunity to dress up in traditional clothes like the rest of the school, but I know it was difficult with the time constraints.
Happy Holi for Sunday and Monday
Sue Alcock, Class teacher
Holi is a religious festival celebrated by Hindus all over the world. Following Diwali, it is considered the second biggest festival on the Hindu calendar. Holi is also known as the Festival of Colours due to the playful practice of throwing coloured powders over one another in the streets and open places.
The Holi festival is named after Holika, the aunt of Prince Prahlad, who unsuccessfully attempted to aid her wicked brother Hiranyakashipu by casting the little boy into the flames of a fire. Students will enjoy discovering this story with its many twists and turns, and its timeless theme of celebrating child protection.
Holi is celebrated all over India, but the celebrations that take place in the region of Braj (near New Delhi), where Lord Krishna appeared and had his pastimes 5000 years ago, are cherished with most affection by many Hindus.
Thank you once again for your visit. You and your husband ensured that the children experienced a fun yet informative workshop. I will certainly recommend you to other schools in the area. The children have made very positive comments regarding the activities and messages – as have the staff.
Looking forward to next year already!
Charlotte Kruger, Class teacher
The children had a great time. I have been collating some of their comments. They say they felt “ inspired” “calm” “respectful” “fascinated”.
We would love to provisionally book the same Friday next year please?
Many thanks for coming.
Mrs Roz Edwards, Head of Religious Studies
Thank you for the email. Just to let you know that all of the staff and children loved the day with Indri. The children learnt a lot and had fun as well. We have some photos and a write up on our school website.
Heather Winter, Assistant Head – Inclusion
Many thanks for your message. You delivered some excellent sessions and the resources were super. The children seemed enthralled.
We were delighted with everything you offered. The children will really benefit from the way you have helped to broaden their horizons.
Matt Byrne, Head teacher
Two Year 5 pupils got really creative at Alkborough Primary School today and decided to paint Mrs Hinsley’s feet! Each foot done by a different artist.

Thank you for visiting our school again. The students all really enjoyed the workshops. They were still talking about it today. The workshops fitted brilliantly into our day and the staff who were there throughout the day said they liked that each workshop was slightly different, as it meant that though the students all had a similar experience they all had something individually tailored to their group as well. It was also nice to see some of our usually reluctant students fully participating.
Leona Downie, Head of Humanities
Indriyesha successfully created a positive human link between ideas and practise, and the Year 10 girls gained more knowledge and awareness of Hinduism. Thank you for a very engaging session.
Janet McCurdy, Life Skills Coordinator, Royal Masonic School for Girls, Hertfordshire
Krishna was extremely calm and patient with our children and it’s safe to say they loved their workshop looking at a traditional Hindu wedding. The resources were amazing and the children had a fabulous time wearing traditional dress and experiencing the customs. Krishna was very insightful and put things across in a child friendly way […]
