Teach Rex  Avis 278

Wow, these guys are absolutely incredible. Teach Rex visited our school last week with Tomas the Gorilla and they didn't disappoint. Having not seen them before I was super excited myself and couldn't wait for the children have the same excitement. I've never seen or experienced anything like this before and it was incredible to watch. The look the children's faces was priceless. Teach Rex came a long way to see us in Dorset. They had some travel troubles and Joe was feeling a little poorly but it was floorless. The back story of Tomas is fascinating and it's told so well. Tomas isn't scary but he is realistic. I love how they get everyone involved and the experience lasts throughout the day. I cant wait to have them back at the school again soon. Thank you Teach Rex.

Our children absolutely loved the experience that Teach Rex provided. Sam and Joe were amazing with the children. They were engaging, informative and set high-expectations regarding behaviour for the children. We will definitely be booking them again next year!

What a fantastic company to have visit school. This was the second year we have had Teach Rex into school to deliver their dinosaur workshop. The staff are amazing with the children and really cater for all. They interact well, pitching their delivery to suit the ages of the children. They use fantastic language and encourage all children to engage. The resources they use and let children handle are the best quality... even the adults knowing that their large 'Jam T-rex' is not real... he still made the adults feel nervous getting up close! What a fantastic experience. Thank you again Teach Rex.

The Teach Rex visit to our SEN school was an amazing experience for both students and staff, who all loved the interactive workshops. Students had lots of fun with Jam the T-Rex and enjoyed meeting some Rainforest animals. Everyone was raving about how good it was on the playground and in the staff room!

TeachRex were brilliant! All of our children thoroughly enjoyed meeting the dinosaurs and the team. Plenty of interactivity for the pupils and clear information shared. We wouldn't hesitate to have TeachRex back again in the future!

Ollie and Joe from Teach Rex know what they are doing on every level, from storytelling to engaging with the children, down to behaviour and clear expectations/routines. It was inspiring to see the way they connected so quickly with the children and their passion for what they do. I would recommend them in a heartbeat to any school. The perfect way to make learning meaningful and memorable.

The Teach Rex team are fabulous! The team were really helpful before the visit, helping us organise an exciting and busy day. We also received some dinosaur eggs before the visit. This was a great way to get the children excited before the visit.

Ollie and Tom came to visit our Year 1 pupils as a part of our topic this term, 'Dinosaur Planet'. The children were incredibly excited to meet the team. We had a fantastic day and the whole school have not stopped talking about it.

Ollie and Tom were incredibly inclusive, especially to our children with complex learning needs. The workshops were inclusive and accessible for every single pupil. They made every child feel safe around the dinosaurs. As teachers, we were worried that we might have a few tears when the dinosaurs came out..but, we did not! This was down to the team being so approachable and the children feeling safe around them.

We cannot wait to share the photos with our families. An excellent keepsake and memory for the children to take home.

A huge thank you to the Teach Rex team. We really hope to see you again next year!

What an amazing experience our pupils had.
Every single child enjoyed it so much, they were all engaged and learnt so much. The session included the children talking about verbs and Adjectives etc which was fantastic!

Great team who really did make the morning fun and enjoyable. Staff loved it also. 😊

We started off the term with a visit from TeachRex and we couldn't have made a better decision! The team were amazing taking time to listen to the children and interacting with them. The experience itself is unmatched. As teachers, we are always thinking about how we can nurture a love of learning for our children...this is how. All of our children from F1 through to Year 6 were excited and engaged. Activities were pitched appropriately for different year groups and the quality of learning we have seen in the week following has been unbelievable. If you are thinking of booking this experience for your school, stop thinking and book it!

Teach Rex visited school as we launched our Dinosaur topic in EYFS. The staff were professional and engaging and the children were enthralled with the dinosaurs. The content of the workshop was pitched appropriately for the age of the children. Highly recommend.

We went to Teach Rex in Sunderland. Had no expectations but was absolutely bowled over by the event! It was brilliant: great content; funny and intelligent hosting; very interactive; enjoyable for parents and kids alike and, of course, the dinosaurs were amazing. Highly, highly recommended

Absolutely adorable, very interesting and entertaining event for the all Family !
Highly recommended 👌

Absolutely amazing. My son told everyone about meeting Fito & his friends. I would highly recommend this company.

This is the second time we have had Teach Rex into our school. They are brilliant to work with - flexible and helpful when planning and arranging the visit.

On the day, the team were really friendly, positive and energetic. Their assemblies and workshops are entertaining and informative and delivered with pace and energy. And obviously the dino's are brilliant. A great experience for our kids.

Review: Teach Rex Dinosaur Experience at Greet Primary School

In a world thirsty for wonder and connection, the Teach Rex Dinosaur Experience at Greet Primary School on Thursday, 12th September 2024, was a beacon of inspiration and profound community engagement. Chris Dyson, Deputy CEO of Create Partnership, and Professor Tim O’Brien, one of the Trustees, joined our esteemed Headteacher Tania Yasmin and Deputy Headteacher Chloe Williams to witness a spectacle that transcended mere education—a celebration of awe, curiosity, and the shared human spirit.

The centerpiece of this magnificent day was none other than Jam, an awe-inspiring 4-meter-high T Rex, who roared into the hearts of children from Reception to Year 6. Yet, it was not just the sheer size and realism of Jam that captivated the audience; it was the palpable passion and dedication of Sam Bryan, the event’s creator and enthusiastic compare, that truly brought the dinosaur to life. His every word, every gesture, painted a vivid tableau of prehistoric splendor, igniting sparks of wonder in the young eyes gazing up at him.

Teach Rex, co-founded by Sam Bryan is a movement. A movement that embodies the founders’ unwavering belief that education should be an electrifying journey, not a mundane chore. As practicing primary school teachers in the north-west, Sam and Joseph have seen firsthand the transformative power of spectacular learning opportunities, and they have poured their hearts into crafting experiences that leave indelible imprints on young minds.

The magic of the Teach Rex event at Greet Primary didn’t end with dinosaurs. It leaped into classrooms, infusing the hearts and pens of students who channeled their boundless excitement into creative writing. In an inspiring departure from the norm, teachers went off timetable, embracing the fervor of the moment to let children articulate their newfound fascination through stories, essays, and poems. What emerged was a tapestry of imagination and learning, each child’s voice a thread that wove together a rich narrative of collective discovery.

The success of Teach Rex lies not only in its ability to enthrall but in its thoughtful integration with the curriculum. Each workshop is a symphony harmonizing science, English, and ICT, offering materials and activities that extend the learning far beyond the spellbinding moments of the performance. The brilliance of this strategy ensures that the enthusiasm sparked by Jam and Sam propels students on a continuous journey of exploration and growth.

I personally reflected on the event with awe, noting how Teach Rex encapsulated the essence of community and shared educational vision. Professor Tim O’Brien echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the profound impact such experiences have on fostering a lifelong love of learning.

Headteacher Tania Yasmin and Deputy Headteacher Chloe Williams observed with pride and joy as their students were transported to a world where education transcended the ordinary. They saw firsthand the intrinsic value of experiential learning and the power it has to unite and uplift a community.

Sam Bryan’s passion was the lifeblood of the Teach Rex experience. His dedication not only to educating but to inspiring, to lighting that spark in each child’s heart, was a masterclass in the true spirit of teaching. His energy was infectious, his enthusiasm boundless, leaving an indelible mark on everyone present.

The Teach Rex Dinosaur Experience at Greet Primary School was more than an educational event; it was a testament to the power of passion, community, and dedication. It brought together students, teachers, and leaders in a shared celebration of learning and wonder. It reminded us all that at the heart of education is not just the transfer of knowledge, but the igniting of imagination and the nurturing of dreams.

For schools committed to creating memorable and impactful learning experiences, Teach Rex stands as a shining example. Through the boundless creativity and love of Sam and the Teach Rex team, a new generation of children finds not just knowledge, but a lifelong passion for discovery.

Bravo, Teach Rex. Here’s to the magic of learning and to the communities united by it.

Teach Rex visited our school at the beginning of September for the second time, this time bringing along Fito and other animals. The children (and staff!) were enthralled by them. The team are professional, friendly and patient. Thank you for giving our children such a wonderful experience!

Staff were very flexible and supportive of the varying needs in our Provision Class. They got down to their level and encouraged, but didn't push too much. Thank you

An amazing experience for our KS1 dinosaur launch. The children thoroughly enjoyed the morning and were all fully engaged and involved in the activities.
The staff are amazing with the children. Workshops are informative and fun for both children and staff. We loved it.

We had the best time!!!
So we went to the natural history museum with my two Dino mad nanny boys! The staff were amazing. Before the museum open they were out with the small Dinos talking to every child taking photos! Got the children hyped up ready for the show…
The show it’s self was great! They were coming around with little dinos again before the show, talking to everyone and photos.
The show started The facts they were giving were nice short and sweet for the young children to remember, got the adults and children involved on the stage.
The T rex (jam and hairy jam) were massive and come and met all the children.
The children then got to met jam and hairy jam after and they were nervous but they done it and the staff were great taking so many lovely photos.
We then had the staff on the door saying goodbye and thought it was a lovely little touch!
The boys said they would give it 11/5!!
The children haven’t stopped talking about it since! Asking where Jam is.
Thank you to all the staff and the dino for such a lovely morning!!

Wow… just wow. Such a great experience. My 6 and 3 year old loved it. An interactive experience for both the kids and parents/carers- with volunteers regularly pulled up to the stage. Lots of care and attention given by staff. My 3 year old got a little spooked by one of the dinosaur puppets and one of the staff repeatedly came over to check on him. Joe and his dad were amazing presenters and were fun to watch. We enjoyed learning facts about the T Rex. Lots of laughs and I would love to see it again
