Strictly Fly Fishing: Extra - Curricular Activity.
Michael Smith from Strictly Fly Fishing visited Moreton Hall Prep School in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk between January 2009 and June 2009 on a Thursday evening between 5:15pm - 6:00pm and ran an extra- curricular course, of 12 sessions, in Fly Fishing for pupils aged 8-13 years.
During the above time, he planned a rage of activities for the pupils including fly tying, rod building, entomology and fly fishing techniques. The course culminated in pupils visitng a fishery on two occasions to try to catch their own fish.
While at the school, Mr. Smith was very professional and treated the pupils with empathy and understanding. He pitched the course at the correct level for each age of pupil and even those with learning difficulties, were engaged throughout the activities.
Mr. Smith was very aware of health and safety and child proptection and risk assessments were carried out correctly.
Moreton Hall Prep School were delighted with the course run by Mr. Smith of Strictly Fly Fishing and are hoping to bring him back to the school for the Summer Term 2010. Mrs. Sarah Ahrens Director of Wider Curriculum Moreton Hall Prep School Bury St Edmunds
