What do teachers think?

“The project has made a real difference to the children’s writing. They are using description in a much more effective way and their writing technique has improved. I have seen evidence of the Night Zookeeper ‘style’ coming through in the writing they have done since. There has been a transition from story writing to story-telling, they seem more aware of the fact that they are writing to give pleasure to someone else.” Jackie Powell Year 4 class teacher

“Thanks to an amazing theme week with @nightzookeeper our school blogs are really taking off with teachers enthused and motivated!” Cherise Duxbury year 6 class teacher

“Two parents said to me that their children went home so excited about what they had done at school. These children normally forget what they have done during the day!” Katie Bentham, Headteacher
