Testimonials:
"The Wonders of the World was extremely interesting and felt like a real experience. The children really enjoyed having their photos taken for their passports. 'Awesome!'"
— Whitgreave Primary, Wolverhampton, Jun 2021
"WOW....what a topic starter! Mario has now been visiting our school with his planetarium for the last 4 years. It is a brilliant 'wow starter' for our To infinity and beyond topic. He is able to pitch the presentation to suit Reception children perfectly, always ready to answer questions from staff and pupils and support answers with his media resources where possible. He is very knowledgeable on the subject and his passion for space is obvious! Already looking at dates to book for next year!"
—Blue Coat Infant School, Walsall, Birmingham
"The children had a wonderful time and learnt so much whilst the teachers were impressed by your knowledge and ability to engage every child from the youngest in Nursery to our Year 6 pupils. You provided a highlight of our Animal Antics Theme Week and I am certain that the children will remember your visit for many years to come"
"The story held their interest. The solar system facts were pitched at the right level as were the facts about polar bears in the Arctic"
—Micklefield School, Reigate, London
"What an amazing experience for the children to have. They sat and listened throughout due to the amazing visuals. I loved the shape video as it links into our maths and looking through the space station was very interesting"
"Brilliant show. The children enjoyed every second of it. Visiting the Space Station, the planets and seeing the stars. The shape video is a very good / educational way of teaching 2D and 3D shapes!"
—Drove Primary School, Swindon, Wiltshire
"The Weather - content was good; liked the animation of the water cycle. Your lesson about Space was 'amazing' and 'spectacular'. Space Station - we enjoyed seeing the toilet, where they sleep and eating food"
"I liked seeing how big the space station was and the number of parts that make it up"
—Blewbury Endowed CoE Primary, Didctot, Oxfordshire
"An exciting and educational experience was enjoyed by all in our school! We would recommend this scientific dome day to other schools for a day of memorable learning to inspire all future scientists!"
"The class enjoyed the whole experience especially the virtual journey into space. Good detail and the right level of information for them to understand. I personally think the dome with a doorway rather than a tunnel is much better, especially for the younger children"
"Brilliant experience. The children particularly enjoyed the visit to the Space Station and remembered many facts. They were amazed at the whole experience"
—Sambourne C of E Primary School, Warminster, Wiltshire
"The experience [in particular the film Great Planet Adventures] provides a fantastic hook for our further learning in Science (Earth and Space) and English (non-chronological report & narrative). Thank you"
"Really great. The children thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and are excited by how much they learnt. A great activity to support our learning in science. The children have lots of questions about space and we have some astronauts in the making I think!"
—Beechview Academy, High Wycombe, London
