What people have said - Artists and Writers

“SAW days are an ongoing learning experience for me and I feel that I take away a lot at the end of each day.”
Sarah Jarrett, artist

“SAW is a highly creative project which has the potential to not only inform but excite children about science. I think its cross-curricular strategy, using words and art to explore scientific themes, stands a greater chance of engaging children's attention across the ability range than more conventional subject-defined approaches. As a child who was switched off science at school, I'm convinced that the SAW approach is particularly helpful in interesting children who currently struggle with science.”
Esther Morgan, poet, tutor, and adviser to the Cheltenham Science Festival

“SAW is a great way to get children writing and thinking about science creatively.”
Naomi Jaffa, Director, the Poetry Trust

“Bringing science and writing together in the classroom seems the most natural thing to do.”
Helen Ivory, Eric Gregory award-winning Bloodaxe poet
