By Appointment?


 


Hi James,
 
Thank you SO MUCH for such an incredible day! One that the children and staff will not forget! 
 
Will be sure to leave a review and spread the word about your wonderful workshops amongst the teaching community and the trust! 
 
Thanks again and take care!

I would just like to compliment James on his show.
He captivated not only the 8 year olds who were the target audience, but also the parents, all of who took part in the interaction.
His ability to entertain and teach l found inspirational and fun.
He has allowed the children at my grand-daughter's party to learn and enjoy it.
Using key words that were easy to understand and, more importantly, that will trigger memories and help with science in years to come.
Thank you.


 


We had an amazing afternoon at Birkwood Primary - shaken not stirred with Secret Science Agent James Boffin (UU7). He enthralled all of our children with a whole host of scientific experiments - all delivered with a certain UU7 style. The afternoon finished with an amazing rocket launch! Thank you James.

I'm glad we were expecting you Mr. Boffin.


 


Hello James Boffin

Thank you so much for a truly brilliant party. All the children were talking about it at school yesterday (and the parents). Even had a little girl tell me it was the best party she's ever been to . . . and she's been to a few!! Jasmine loved it and loved being involved in the experiments. Thank you again, great meeting you!

"THANK YOU for my son Sam's 6th Birthday Party. James Boffin was fantastic; the children were talking about it for days, in fact, the adults enjoyed it as much as the children!!!! Many Thanks"

Dear Mr Boffin

Thank you for a wonderful day of science that all of our students thoroughly enjoyed. Enjoy the rest of your New Zealand visit.

Warm regards from Good Shepherd School, Auckland, New Zealand



"Attended a great party on Saturday - James Boffin you really entertained the children - loved the James Boffin persona/stories.  Highly recommend if you are thinking of a children's party idea or a school event. Thanks James."

"Incredible. All the feedback from everybody all day has been stunning"


 


This from Annabelle's And Josephine's happy Mum.

My daughters, their friends and the adults present at our party thoroughly enjoyed our Science Party. James was able to hold all the children's attention, of varied ages, for the whole time, which is a success in itself! He was cool, calm and fun. We loved his dinner jacket and lab coat, he really looked the part. Most of all we enjoyed watching and getting involved with all the experiments. Thank you again.

"I would just like to say that the children and staff had a brilliant science day. James Boffin was brilliant. The activities were hands on and children were buzzing after the assembly and the activities. All in all, I am glad I invited you to come to our school. Thanks!"

Thanks for the great party! We loved it!

So on to Lewis’ birthday party – what a fantastic day Lewis had! ! Lewis had a Science party - James Boffin came to our house with his white coat and his experiments, and he performed stinky, messy, exciting, fun experiments for and with the children! It was a great entertainment and we will definitely be meeting up with James Boffin again in the future for more science fun!

"Dear James Boffin, Thank you so much for coming to Longley School and running the assembly and workshops.The pupils who took part really enjoyed the sessions and are still talking about it! We really appreciated your understanding and flexibility on the day, given our difficult circumstances and how you were able to adapt to the situation so quickly. Thank you once again.

Kind regards, Jess"



Fabulous party for my Daughter Annie's 6th birthday on Saturday. The kids loved it. Thank you so much "nobody does it better" !!!!

Hi James, we had my daughters birthday party on the 10th of April. Despite some of the children getting a 'bit overexcited' & giddy' you remained calm & managed to engage their attention & keep them entertained. Not that easy with eighteen 7/8 year olds. Even the parents that stayed were impressed. A couple of the children commented that it was 'the best party ever'! My daughter was impressed. She loved helping with the experiments & even got a memento photo. Thank you James - we will certainly keep you in mind for future parties & have no hesitation in recommending you to others who would like something other than a 'run of the mill' party.

From Adele

Science Co-ordinator

"Thank you so much for the day at Mapplewell Primary last Thursday. The whole school, children and adults alike, thoroughly enjoyed the activities of the day and I’m sure that as teachers we were inspired to include more spectacular science to enthuse our classes.

Every single child had a positive comment to make about the day. I hope you enjoy reading those enclosed.

Once again, thank you very much. We hope to see you with different experiments next year. Have a good summer."



Here’s a message from a School Science Co-ordinator recently . . .

"Dear James, Just a short note to update you on our children at Mapplewell. We have just started a new term and my first lesson with 38 year 5's was all about famous scientists and why we remember them. As usual , we find out a starting point by asking them to share what they already know. When asked if they knew any famous scientists, eight out of ten replied 'Boffin'. Thought you would like the fact that you have made more of an impression than Edison, Newton or even Logie Baird !! Hope you had a good summer and the work is rolling in.

Best wishes, Adele"



Today we had a visit from Science Headquarters. James Boffin, Special Scientist Agent, was sent to show us some science he has been working on. He made us laugh and cheer and clap and taught us about lots of amazing science stuff.

Thank you so very much for entertaining us all today for Millie's party! Definitely by far the best idea for a party I think ever, and the children were kept engaged and wowed  the whole way through. I am so pleased that we chose you and you were professional the whole way through planning from start to finish. The children left full of exciting ideas and experiments to try at home  I am sure after half term I will have to hide from a lot of the parents.

I will definitely recommend you to everybody! My son has already asked if he can have you at his birthday in July so I think he is impressed.

It was a pleasure to meet you. Thank you for all your hard work xxx

Dear James, thanks for a wonderful, fun-filled and exciting two days of science extravaganza! The children at Muswell Hill Primary have had a fantastic time learning about various scientific concepts in a fun way. The dry ice workshop was a real wow moment and the final rocket launch was a definite crowd pleaser! Thank you for being patient with being moved from halls to classrooms. The assembly was amazing. It was a pleasure having you at our school.

Ritu Ganguly-Khan, Science Subject Leader



The children absolutely did have a great day and it certainly sparked an interest in Science for many. It is clear to me, as it was to the rest of the staff, that you are passionate about Science and teaching these exciting things to children. It was a real pleasure to welcome you into school. I shall certainly alert other Headteachers around

Nice email from Head Teacher Tara McStay at St Urban's Primary in Leeds



Thanks James for all your work on the day, you really animated the Festival and the evaluations are all very positive.

Helen Barraclough, Managing Director, Space Connections and Organiser of the Bradford Science Festival



Thank You James, Your Science Show Really Was Awesome. I Loved The Hydrogen Peroxide And Potassium Iodide Experiment. I Have Always Wanted To See It In Real Life.

Really enjoyed your performance at Hexthorpe Primary School earlier today :) The kids loved it !

Tracy Anne Ardron



I wanted to be a scientist when I grow up because doing experiments is fun!

I bet you didn't see me when y6 came. By the way the electric experiment was cool. I wanted to volunteer but I was scared.
