Praise for Moving Objects

All of the quotes below are from people who have borrowed Moving objects displays.
"The [JunKit] display is lovely. All the classes looked at it in turn and it inspired us to make our Christmas decorations from rubbish and have a competition to see which class made the best decorations."
“Thank you – the [What a Waste?] display was excellent. We based lessons around it for people with learning difficulties. They were really enthusiastic. We’re really looking forward to the next display”.

“The support materials and the fairytales and fables books with the [Myths, Legends, Fairytales & Fables] display will be really good for our Wrigley Readers sessions.”
"Very good display [What a Waste?] that worked across all age ranges. It was backed up by a good number of leaflets and posters providing clear information on how the viewer could act personally on dealing with the issue of waste."
“We used the [Creative Memories] display for Second World War reminiscence work with people who were writing down their memories of the war”
“Our teenage creative writing group used the [Creative Memories] display in one of their sessions”
The Myths, Legends, Fairytales and Fables display"I think it’s really good [Not What it Seems] & it’s the sort of thing I’d want our youth workers to think about using in youth centres to promote awareness of mental health issues.  It’s something we are quite concerned with, & it’s definitely something I’d encourage people to use…"
“I wrote to local schools and let them know that the [Myths, Legends, Fairytales & Fables] display would be there. They were doing myths and legends in English and came and looked at the display and used the activity sheets etc”
“The [JunKit] display was brilliant. It has had a crowd of kids around all the time”
“Everybody who has walked past the [JunKit] display has stopped to look at it. It’s been great and really livened up our foyer”
"Generally the [What a Waste?] display was received very positively. The service from yourselves was excellent."
"Very good scheme, we hope to have many more displays and hopefully tie up with book displays to."
"We have borrowed most of the Moving Objects displays and have always been very pleased."
Mouse Sculpture made from drinks cans"(I expected) information & artefacts aimed at children & young people…(my expectations) were exceeded"
"we have used the displays as a talking point to facilitate safe & enjoyable waiting prior to appointments"
"I like it [Make a Match!]. I think it’s a nice idea. I think it would be a good link into the Leicester City Kick Racism out of Sport scheme"
"It [The Beauty Myth] is so relevant to young people & its interesting as well"
"For some of the learners I work with [Nature Observed] would actually hit the spot because it’s got shapes, it’s got colour, it’s got something tactile for those people who perhaps need a more aesthetic approach…."
