What our teachers say about our zoom tutorials..

Thank you so much for giving a great clear training in the Busythings on Zoom today  - in the Half Term holiday! It was an excellent thing to start our busy lessons with great interactivity motivating the diverse pupils !

Appreciate your timely support and co-operation.

Anwar Faruqh 

Thank you so much for your informative demonstration. There’s a lot for us to explore further to extend our use. We do use Google Classroom with our Y1 and Y2 students and will certainly use the short cuts regularly. I am excited to use the mobile version with my SEN students as well as the class setups. Thanks again for your time. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you notice that we could further extend our use or if we can pilot/share best practice in the future.

Kindest regards, Katie Cornes

What our teachers say about Busy Things..

“Busy Things supports my lesson plans and lessons very well, there are clear activities and the resources are really useful. Children can access the activities easily and the variety shows how to apply skills learned in lessons independently. Children love the animations which keep them engaged.”

Helen Butler, Oasis Academy Parkwood

“The difference that Busy Things has made to our provision and children's learning is phenomenal. It's adaptability and ease of use for both teachers and children makes it a highly accessible and valuable resource.”

Sam O'Regan, Wheatfield Primary School
