The children learned lots about the sea creatures, and have produced some lovely writing and creative work, which is on display in School
Year 3, Teacher, Burradon Primary School
Thank you for such an enjoyable visit. We all had a fantastic day and very much enjoyed learning about the lighthouse. We are sure the next class will have as much fun with you next year, as we had.

The Captain has had lots of positive feedback and glowing testimonials, for his work with the many thousands of schoolchildren who have visited St Mary’s Island in the last five years, from all over the world, but mainly the North-East.
As my reputation has grown, many schools throughout the country have requested a visit by me. This has proved very successful, and a typical visit would involve storytelling,games and activities on a theme of your choice.
I offer a Pirate Workshop, lighthouse keeper training module, where I get the children role playing some of the duties of a keeper, and develop a Q&A session, on local lighthouses.
I also offer the module, Going to the seaside (past & present).
Other poular workshops are Mr Grinling and The Lighthouse Keepers Stories.
Jack and the Beanstalk and Alice in Wonderland where I appear as the Mad Hatter.
All my work involves the Captain inspiring, and enthusing your Pupils and in most cases the staff too!
ATTENTION SCHOOLS!
Why not invite the Captain to accompany your School Trip,
He will use his special kind of magic to enhance your pupils out of School experience. Many Schools used his expertise over the last couple of years and his diary is already filling for 2017.
