Hootwithme Reviews 15

Our Nursery children absolutely loved their visit this morning. They have gone back to the classroom full of facts and bubbling with excitement! As usual, Tonya pitched the learning at just the right level for the children. There were lots of opportunities for the children to be physical, to explore owl feathers and they even got to hold 2 different owls. Magical!
A big thank you to Tonya and the owls. We will be re-booking for next year!

Tonya's fabulous owls are now an annual part of the core memories for our reception children at Mousehold Infant and Nursery school. She has a wonderful, inclusive approach to her sessions and ensures all children get the most from the experience. Thank you Tonya!

The children in reception at Cliff Park Primary Academy had a wonderful visit from Tonya and her beautiful owls. They loved pretending to be owls and learning how to protect their babies and how to communicate with each other, learning lots of owl facts and the highlight of the visit was getting to hold one of the owls. A thoroughly enjoyable and informative experience for all. Thank you very much!

Ranelagh Early Years and KS1 children all thoroughly enjoyed the visit from Tonya, her colleague and of course the owls! It was a true first hand experience for the children and all content was delivered in an age appropriate way and linked to the curriculum for both phases. Tonya was very accommodating and ensured it was an inclusive experience for all our children. I would not hesitate to recommend Hoot With Me to other schools and groups. It was a truly wonderful morning and the children gained so much. Thank you Tonya

1st Kedington Rainbows, Brownies and Guides had a visit from Hootwithme and it was a fabulous and very informative evening for them. They all had the ability to hold an Owl, which they very much enjoyed. Great evening.

The EYFS and KS1 children at Sculthorpe CE Primary Academy had a most wonderful visit from Tonya and her Owls, as a sparkling start to our Owl Babies topic. The children were so engaged and learnt lots of interesting facts about the owls. They were so lucky to have the opportunity to each hold an owl (Jonny was a firm favourite due to his cheekiness) and it will be an experience they will remember for a very long time.
Also many thanks Tonya for all your support and understanding; making it possible for all of the children to take part in this experience.
We will definitely be booking you in for another visit!

The children had a wonderful time with the owls. They read the owl babies story and met the real owls which started their unit of learning off brilliantly.
Many parents have commented on how their children have not stopped talking about it. Such a wonderful experience - thank you!

The children at Colkirk school were very excited by the visit from the owls. They all enjoyed having their photos taken holding one of the owls. It was a lovely way to introduce our Owl Babies topic. Thanks to the lovely friendly ladies and to the well behaved owls.

Hootwithme, came to visit our Chapelfield Nurseries and the children were very excited to meet the four beautiful owls. The children were fascinated by the owls and enjoyed touching the feathers, listening to the owl babies’ story, joining in with the actions and even got the opportunity to hold one of the owls! A lovely experience for all the children attending nursery! Thank you very much

Tonya’s passion for wildlife and in particular the owls was apparent from the start.
Our visit was with children in Year 1 and Year 5 and each child was involved in the whole session and were completely engaged ( as were the adults ! )
Tonya’s praise and encouragement to the children who answered questions was amazing and she thanked each child who asked her a question.
The session was completed with the children holding one of the beautiful owls and for those that were a bit nervous, still getting up close to them.
Less than a week after the visit, the Year 1’s have been using their knowledge from the session, in a visit to another setting !
I would absolutely recommend a session with ‘Hoot with me’ Thank you Tonya, Teresa, Ethel, Jonny, Betty and Arthur !

Tonya was professional and so helpful in all our correspondences. It was a fun and engaging session and the children learnt so much about owls. The highlight was getting to hold a real one. Thank you for bringing “Owl Babies” to life!

Hoot with me visited us at St Faiths Primary School today. Tonia read stories & did some fun age appropriate activities with the children as the owls looked on. Each child got to hold Betty & Arthur & were never rushed making it a very relaxing experience. They were also excited to meet baby Ethel. The ladies were happy to answer our many questions. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone. Very educational & uplifting.

Thank you to Tonya for coming to visit the 6th norwich rainbows tonight, the girls loved learning about the owls, taking part in a owl Eye activity. The girls got to feel the feathers in the box and also got to hold an owl. It was also lovely seeing the little owlet.

Amazing learning with fun was had by adults and children tonight.
Hootwithme came to 6th Norwich Rainbows the Rainbows got to hold Arthur
a wonderful Tawny Owl and we got to meet Ethel who is a species of "Little Owl' and only seven and a half weeks old.
Tonya is so good with the children held their attention to learn about these amazing birds.

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 knowledgable and friendly lady with some super friendly birds. I would stronly recommend her to anyone.
