Stephanie Weissman July 28, 2017 Impact WHAT THE CHILDREN, PARENTS AND TEACHERS SAY Stephanie Weissman July 28, 2017 Impact “I never felt so calm in my life. It feels like my heart is beating with joy.” — Sophie, 8 “Inside Out is not something I would do if I did not believe it has a positive effect on those children who need to be more engaged in their own learning – especially those who have challenging behaviour and are at risk of exclusion at some stage of their education, or who are passive and have little or no aspirations.” — Helen Wallace, Former Headteacher, Thameside Primary School, Reading “It’s about playing and learning and getting over your fears.” — Kian, 10 “Seeing how the children change throughout the day. Confidence, focus, empathy, sensitivity, are only a few of those feelings they discover.” — Margaret Leishman, Teaching Assistant, Hagbourne CE Primary School, Didcot “In my whole 8 ½ year life, it was the best day I ever had.” — Isabella, 8 “What an amazing day the Inside Out day must have been!! My daughter has shared her experiences and favourite activities with me, which was magical. The day clearly made a huge impression on her and she thinks you should do it once a fortnight.” — Parent “It made me calm and it was cool to learn how your mind worked.” — Evan, 8
