Really engaging and colourful. This was a great starting point for introducing festivals from different cultures. The slides are clear and well-paced, and the activity ideas were easy to adapt across age groups. My pupils enjoyed the interactive questions and visuals. Nice to have something that's informative but accessible for a range of learners.
