Dear Tonya
Thank you so much for a perfect morning. We had the ideal way to continue the next part of our project...we will save the world!

Hello
It was a great experience for all of the children and thank you for being so generous with your time. It was a real “WoW” learning experience for all ages! Are you available to visit other schools as I would imagine some of my colleagues would love the opportunity for their children to have the learning experience?
Thank you again.
Kind regards, Mrs Ann De'Ath

Sunflowers Nursery at Northgate Primary School ~ Great Yarmouth, Norfolk
Some of
our children have difficulty socialising and communicating with their peers and adults and the visit from 'Hoot With Me' really encouraged our children to open up and discuss what they had seen, heard and interacted with. Animals are an amazing teaching resource and also a form of therapy for our children. Olaf the Great Grey owl, was very calm and patient and Tonya was very kind and caring towards our children, encouraging them to ask questions and providiing very informative answers specific to their age range. We cannot thank you enough for coming in to see us and enabling our children to become totally different children for a while. We would highly recommend a visit from 'Hoot With Me' and would glady welcome a return visit one day.

"We have used 'Hoot With Me' for our Reception classes for the last 2 years at Mile Cross Primary School. They've worked closely with us to make our learning through 'Owl Babies' real, We'll be using them again!"

Hi Tonya,
Thank you for your session earlier this week. Again, it was so well-received. Everyone simply loved it. To be up close and personal with such wonderful birds was such a privilege. Your manner when talking to people was so engaging. Some of our service users were just 'made up'. I certainly was too!
Many thanks, Mandy Lyons

Hello,
Thank you so much Hoot With Me for a fantastic afternoon. The children were fascinated by the owls and have remembered so many facts. The activities were fun and engaging and really helped the children to understand the importance of caring for these beautiful animals.

Hi, Just wanted to drop you a note to say how much Eva enjoyed the hoot with me online session today. She was so pleased to see everyone, ask her questions and show the work she has been doing.
These sessions have been great, especially for our family as Eva’s Dad is shielding and we don’t get out much, so these sessions have really connected her with school, teachers, learning and the ability to do something ‘out of the norm’.
So a big thank you Mousehold and the ‘ hoot with me team ‘, it’s made a real difference during lock down for us.
Keep up the good work!

Hello!
Thank you for bringing “Owl Babies” to life! The children throughly enjoyed it and what an opportunity to meet some real owls. We would love to have you back next year!

Reedham Primary School, Reedham, Norfolk
We had a visit from Hootwithme to Reedham Primary School a couple of weeks ago. The children had a brilliant time and the information was aimed exactly at the right age group, it was a super learning experience for all concerned and I can’t recommend Tonya and her owl friends enough. Our children still haven’t stopped talking about it and we have been able to cover lots of areas of the EYFS by doing different activities since the visit. A very knowledgeable and friendly lady with some super friendly birds. I would strongly recommend her to anyone

Hello,
We loved your Owl session last term and have just started our Australia topic and are hoping that you could come again. Next week would be great although, we could do any week up until half term.

Thank you so much for visiting our school with your gorgeous owls. I know everybody loved seeing them and we appreciate just how good you & Gemma were with the children too - they learnt a lot and will remember the visit for a long time to come. I am sure we will be in touch to rebook you next year. In the mean time I have sent you pictures of the children's owl pictures with charcoal and pastel. Enjoy!

Many thanks for coming to Loddon Rainbows, it was a wonderful experience for the girls and adults. I know I thoroughly enjoyed meeting Olaf & Arthur, as well as learning a few things about owls.

Hoot with me visited us at St Faiths Primary School today. The ladies read stories & did some fun age appropriate activities with the children and were happy to anwer our many questions, as the owls looked on. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone. Very educational & uplifting.

Thank you so much for coming along on Saturday! It was a fantastic event and the girls absolutely loved it! Also, I may have mentioned that I work at Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse. We have an event day coming up, and I loved your session on Saturday, so I have passed your details onto my colleague who I think may get in touch. I hope this is OK!
Thank you again!
