Summary of our last Wheelbarrow Workshop series
The Wheelbarrow Workshops finished at the end of May for the current academic year by which time the teams of Mrs Wheelbarrows have visited 86 different primary schools across the county and given 126 workshops. Catering for 30 children at a time in each class - sometimes a few more as groups join together in smaller schools and sometimes it is a few less children but that means that we have reached approximately 3780 children.
This is 1500 more than last year and is due mainly to the addition of a new team in East Herts and so on most Thursdays we have four teams trundling their barrows out and about. The enthusiasm and encouragement from our teams is infectious the the children pick up on it and seem to really enjoy the workshops and they are genuinely appreciative. One Year 6 boy said after our last workshop "thank you, this has been such fun".
The content of the workshops is much the same, with tweaks here and there. We take note of the evaluation forms which the schools fill in to make sure we are meeting their expectation and try to include any suggestions they have to improve the workshops. We want to ensure that they remain consistent so every child is getting a similar experience.
