Was asked to do some work for this company, hired by the owner then once I completed drafts I was ignored when I asked her to sign a contract for the work which she requested.
If anyone is curious about doing freelance for this company I would not recommend.

Bee Keeping Experience

Lots of pre-event communication. My five year old and I enjoyed: visiting the farm; the education, warm-up and reading session; the games; donning the suits and visiting, and learning about, the bees; the free book and honey pot; eating in the farm cafe afterwards; and then exploring the area! The staff involved with the event were lovely.

This is very important education for us all! Thank you very much for the event! :)

PS We finished the session half an hour earlier than expected because we were in the first of two groups visiting the hives in our session.

We had so much fun at the bee experience at Hackney city farm, we had top notch day from start to finish.

My 21 month old was thoroughly enjoying it! He knows more about the honey and bees and he finished his honey topped porridge all which never happened before the experience. We will be back next year

We loved our Bee Keeping experience at Hackney City Farm. My 7 yr old son has decided he wants to be a bee keeper! So we'll thought out with adorable little details.

I had a brilliant morning with my daughter at Hackney City Farm learning all about bees.

There was a great intro with storytelling, singing and chats about bees. Then a lovely little game that got the kids running around the farm.

Then the highlight was going up onto the roof with the beekeeper to look at the hives and the bees. And my daughter was most excited about the little pot of honey she got to take away with her. A really lovely, well-run experience. Thank you!

I attended the animation experience workshop in 2022 with my 7 year old daughter. The whole day was amazing. We were welcomed with a lovely book and took part in an engaging meditation/story telling session.
My daughter enjoyed making her video animation and was so proud of her work. Thank you Anthonia for allowing us to be a part of such a great day and I hope to return to a future event. I reckon this woorkshop strongly.

What a lovely family day at Hackney City Farm at the wonderful ‘Bringing stories to life’ event.

The morning started with a storytelling and mindfulness session by the lovely Laura. Laura was brilliant at engaging with the children reading the ‘Freedom we sing’ book and teaching the children about freedom and how to be calm when feeling emotional by taking a big breath in and out.

Then we got to create our characters for our animated movie from plasticine.

Using a stop motion app we got to move our characters. It was super cool and actually not that hard to do with a toddler! They were both amazed when they saw their characters come to life on the big screen! I’ve gotta admit I loved it too!

After the morning activities, lunch from Frizzante cafe was included for the kids and then onto explore the farm.

We've had a great time at the AtypicalReader Animation Experience, the staff were really friendly, welcoming and caring. Anthonia offered to help looking after my baby while my two daughters were taking part in the activity which was really kind. Skye was amazing with the children, she was patient and attentive to what my girls wanted to do. The book is beautiful, we hung the poster in their bedroom. Finally, the farm was a lovely venue and the food was nice. I absolutely recommend the workshop, Thank you!!

What an amazing experience!
We attended the stop motion animation film workshop with our 4 year old and 6 year old and it was so much fun. Everything was broken down into fun, manageable steps and the kids were very happy to see what they had done on screen. It's easy to then do more at home once you've been shown how and my kids have been pestering us to do more since. Highly recommend. I'll be looking out for other events from these guys in the future. Thoughtfully and creatively put together.

Amazing storytelling and animation workshop, so engaging and my 6yr old hasn't got over the fact that she can make her own animations now! She practices the skills she learned whenever she can get her hands on my phone and uses her toys to create her own stories. Such a fantastic day for her and even caught the imagination of her 3yr old sibling who had to join us halfway due to unforseen circumstances and Anthonia was so accommodating! Will definitely attend more of these events moving forward :)

Really well-thought-out event bringing together storytelling, mindfulness and a stop-motion animation workshop. Both of my kids (aged 3 and nearly 6) were engaged, the instructions were straightforward, and we all learnt skills that we'll use again and again. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and I loved that the kids got a beautiful book and activity pack to take home, AND that a delicious lunch was included in the price. We will absolutely be back.

We had such a great day at the animation experience. Right from the beginning all the kids were involved having a great time. I can’t recommend it enough.

We loved the stop motion day. It was 2.5 hours of real engagement for our 4 and 7 year old and me and my partner got very involved in making our little film too! The song and mindfulness session at the beginning was very well done, the book was beautiful, and the location was great, with tasty food and drink to keep us all going too. Very good value, we’ll be looking out for the next event.

The storytelling and the animation workshop were great! The hosts were very thoughtful when planning the event, they even ordered some food and drinks for the children. All kids were given a copy of the book we shared and some other goodies. All in all, it was an amazing family-friendly experience! Looking forward to future events! Thank you so much to all the Atypical Reader team.

We attended the storytelling and animation workshop and it was very unique and completely different from anything we have done. Loved the storytelling with interaction and everyone involved was kind. I cannot recommend attending a session enough!

We visited the Animation Experience and I must say that we thoroughly enjoyed the family friendly event.
We also enjoyed the story time and loved the goodies that the children were able to go home with.
It was lovely to see how much thought went into planning the event.
Big Well Done to ATypicalReader.

Great workshop for children. We did enjoy a lot! Thank you for your friendly and creative workshop.

I loved the stop motion event. My daughter had tons of fun creating her character and film. The book they read and gave to the children is beautiful. The staff was kind and sweet. Well done, I hope we can make it to the summer event!

Had a beautiful day out exploring bee keeping at Hackney city farm! My 4 year old daughter really enjoyed it and it was lovely for her to have a real experience to go along with Omar, The Bees And Me book. She loved the painting and story telling too. Well organised and very creative way to spend time together!
