We have had a wide range of positive feedback for the CrackerJack kids programme, here is what people are saying:

Comments from teachers:

"Students had a lot of input and could link the stories from the programme to their own life.

Kids really loved making up their own rules and working towards playing the game fairly with rules that everyone agreed on."

(Meg Hinton, teacher Dawson Road Primary School)

"Because I come from a sports background I can see the way you have intentionally included skill in the Game Play sessions. And by doing this it hasn’t put off others and has led to greater levels of participation.The students have given a lot more thought to the concept of rules which has helped them understand that they need rulesThe students have learnt that it’s not so bad to lose and this in turn has lead to more involvement as part of a group."

(Richard Cowell, Red Beach School Team leader and teacher in charge of physical education and sports)
