A superb resource for primary teachers / art teaching at primary level Review by Jo

I am a specialist art teacher at a prep school and have not found anything so ideal for supporting primary art teaching before. I will find it an invaluable resource ( just received it today), particularly for years Y3-6, to support related practical work. I can see it could also be very useful if I or the other art teacher is off sick- with short notice required for cover. Well done on an excellent and much needed resource. I will happily take any others on art you produce! (Posted on 10/02/2010)

As an art teacher, I have found some of the stories on here good for class activity, in particular Leonardo's story and the life of Vincent van Gogh. Good springboard for extension work - and good for rainy Friday fun! (Posted on 08/12/2009)

First thing I've found that combines real facts with a fairly amusing delivery - I bought it for my daughter but in fact I learned quite a bit myself. (Posted on 08/12/2009)

The Now You Know DVDs have proved to be a wonderful resource for us as a home educating family. They are just as entertaining and informative for the adults as for the children! Also they provide a really good beginning to further research into each character portrayed. Hurry up and produce more please! Although the price might seem a bit high I would still recommend these DVDs as they will be watched again and again. 10/10 (Posted on 07/12/2009)

This DVD is not only very interesting and fun, but also useful for my children. As we are Italian, they don't have the opportunity to watch any English television. This DVD will help them to improve their English and they really like it and enjoy it! (Posted on 05/09/2009)
