Boundary Primary School, Blackpool

What a great virtual experience! Krishna and Ian were extremely professional and knowledgeable and ensured the talk was engaging and fun via Zoom.  Our Year 6 children (including two children who were self-isolating) thoroughly enjoyed the experience and valued the opportunity to ask practicing Hindus interesting questions. Our bespoke talk was well planned and there were no technical issues. We look forward to welcoming them back to Boundary again soon!

Hi Krishna, 

Thank you so much for visiting us at Cholsey yesterday! The children gained so much from the experience. It was lovely to see them all so immersed in the dressing up and dancing (even those who would normally be apprehensive about dressing up!) It was lovely of Indri to link Hindu traditions and beliefs to other religions to meet our curriculum requirements. 

We loved all the activities, our only thought was that perhaps it might have been nice to start with the morning story of Holi so that the children fully understood the story behind the festival before dressing up. This is only a very minor tweak / thought though. 

 I have sent the link to our partnership schools and Sam (our RE lead) had a partnership Skype meeting last night so she recommended you there as well! 

Unfortunately, we won’t need a date for next year. As we have mixed Year 5/6 classes we teach a two year rolling programme so it will be another two years before we get to teach about forgiveness and Holi again, but we will definitely keep you in mind for then! 

Thank you once again for a fantastic morning!

Dear Krishna and Indri,

Thank you both for such an insightful and enjoyable workshop this morning. The children had a fantastic time and learnt so much. 

I have scanned in your brochure and emailed it out to my colleagues across our Multi-Academy Partnership.

Looking forward to seeing you both soon!

Best Wishes,

Dear Krishna,

Thank you for sending through the invoice for the books so promptly.

I have to thank you again for your wonderful workshop which was so colourful, so immersive as well as being incredibly informative.

The photos speak volumes of the boys’ enjoyment of the day and the staff all spoke praisingly of the workshop saying they learnt so much from it.

The staff were not only impressed by the engaging way you delivered your knowledge of the subject but also touched by the spirituality present within you and Indriyesha.

I would be more than happy to book you again next year but unfortunately will not be able to confirm anything until the Autumn term. I will also speak to other colleagues about booking you for the older groups or perhaps booking you for a whole day next year.

Once again, thank you so much for your wonderful workshop and I look forward to seeing you next year.

Kind regards,

Dear Krishna and Indri,

Many thanks for running such a fantastic series of workshops. I have now passed your invoice onto our accounts department. 

You will be pleased to know that not only did you inspire our Y5 pupils, but also our Y3 children. I arrived in school on Thursday to find posters designed by some of our Y3 pupils, advertising a Hindu day they had decided to organise as a response to Indri’s assembly and all the wonderful artefacts which you had set up.

They had fun dressing up in Indian clothes and are currently making a book based on the Little Godz book which I purchased.

We look forward to seeing you again next year,

Best wishes,

 Hi Krishna

So sorry I had to dash off. Everyone involved in the day had a wonderful time and I’ll be passing on your details to our partner schools.  A huge thank you to you both, I hope your journey home was a safe one.

I’ll get back to you with dates as I arrange the whole year diary to fit around our curriculum.
