★★★★★
"We learned in the introduction about the planets visible in the sky above Newport on the nights of the bombings. This was new information we've never taught before as part of our topic. The children were fully engaged and excited. Mario was very knowledgable and calming throughout what can be a sensitive topic. Highly recommended!"
★★★★★
""Thank you for such a wonderful experience! It was the highlight of the children's WW2 Day. The children found the video to be extremely informative and described it as a 3D movie experience""
★★★★★
"Mario visited our school last Friday and the year 5 and 6 children thoroughly enjoyed their planetarium experience! The WWII video was fantastic and the children got so much out of it."
★★★★★
"The content & delivery was very good. The WWII film deepened the children's understanding as it brought to life many of the facts / events we have looked at this term - Stoke Primary School, Coventry, Dec 2016"
