Some Quotes from Sessions
Company Away Days and Adult Group Sessions
Thank you Jessica Shaw @ PACT for facilitating such an amazing experience. What a way to spend a morning with colleagues; LAUGHING, a lot. We all had a great time, feel less stressed and even closer as a team. I wish we’d done this sooner and I’m already being asked when you’re coming in again! Sharing this because I think the work you do is awesome and strongly recommend other teams/companies give it a go
It has been such a long time since I laughed like that, thank you.
Very clever – you helped us laugh and play and now we are refreshed and ready to start again
I don’t know how you did it – they were simple, fun games and now I feel amazing!
Children and Young People
There are many ways in which the pupils have benefitted from their training. They have gained confidence, learned acceptance and how to be inclusive. They have been taught different strategies to deal with things that don’t go to plan. How to be firm in a kind way using affective language. Problem solving, to be kind and most importantly, to have fun! I really enjoyed watching the children’s confidence grow over the six weeks and how much they looked forward to the sessions. It was a pleasure to be part of the training programme and working alongside Jess has been fantastic.
The group’s confidence has grown over the 6 weeks and their ability to interact with each other and the younger children has greatly improved. I particularly enjoyed seeing the children’s growth mindset blossom; they used what they learned in Play Ambassadors to tackle change and adapt to the needs of the younger children, responding to what worked best. Jess is amazing! She is very interesting with so much knowledge and the children instantly warmed to her and her wonderful outlook on play.
After the drama (6 weekly sessions) I feel more confident and not shy to be myself
I love the games and the talking it was all fun and I felt happy
If I could do this every day I wouldn’t lose my temper then feel bad after
It feels like the road to freedom. We didn’t even know we were learning stuff because it was so much fun. I learnt that as long as you know how you feel inside it doesn’t matter what anyone thinks because you know, and that makes me feel strong
It was the one place in the week where I feel like I can be completely myself
School Staff INSET Training (REACH INSET)
It was nice to have an INSET that was so positive and which had such a fun element (the games and playing)
I liked your realistic and compassionate approach; you were non-judgemental and offered simple and effective techniques. Most of all it was fun!
The session really made me reflect on how I deal with challenges from pupils, and I loved that you used fun and games to help get that message across. Great!
I so enjoyed the session, it was useful to consider new approaches to dealing with challenging behaviour. I especially enjoyed the games, which were so much fun. In a word, Brilliant!
It was a great way to start the new term; the games were so refreshing and it was great to laugh
The session was very useful. It was great to learn about self-regulation (and self-awareness) of adults being required before we expect that from the children. Brilliant session, wish we could have more
