Grasmere CE VE Primary School
Johanna Goode, Head Teacher:
“Thank you so much for Louie’s visit! Louie was really engaging. She tailored her workshops so well to each age group that they were all motivated and inspired. There were lots and lots of smiles! We have all enjoyed finishing the book. Please come back and see us sometime!”
Springwood Heath Primary School
Jennifer Caddick:
"Louie Stowell's visit was a fabulous high energy, creative and imaginative experience for our children. From a brilliant audience-participating potion -making assembly to creative workshops that encouraged the children to use their own ideas creating magical creatures and in which Louie spent time with every child in class, offering tips and help. Excellent and fully inclusive activities that all our children could be involved in. Louie really made our children feel special in her book signing session too and took time to chat and answer questions about becoming an author and all her inspirations (no matter how odd they were!). Fabulous day that we all thoroughly enjoyed!"
St Catherine’s Catholic Primary School, Barnet
Diana Whyatt:
“The event was fantastic. The children really enjoyed it and Louie was brilliant at relating to the children. They were thrilled to hear her read some of her book, and were inspired by her workshop. Thank you so much to Louie. This meant a lot to our children!”
