“Thank you for giving our children (homeschoolers included!) a chance to engage in the history of the ISS and for helping them to realise there is a whole world out there to go and explore!”
“We were very late to sign up but I have nothing but praise for the quality of the learning materials and the email support offered. My class were very sad that it has come to an end but at the same time knowing what Tim has achieved has been very powerful for them . He is a brilliant role model for all children.”
“Thank you for a truly inspirational programme which really brought space to life for my KS1 class. Thank you also to Tim Peake for bringing space down to this level for them and fostering exciting and curiosity. Certainly bridged the ages when we designed a step for him as the end of our diary on grandparents day. It was lovely to hear old and young discussing something relevant so easily.”
“Just more of the same please. As home educators this was a wonderful resource for us. We all enjoyed it as a family. Our children are extremely proud of their diaries and will keep them for years to come. They will always remember Tim Peake and his first mission on the ISS. Thank you.”
