*Why Mr Explorer?

My daughter is a primary school teacher and I often go into school to support her teaching.

I talk to children, aged between four and six, about animals and the world. My character name is Mr Explorer. The children get very excited when Mr Explorer comes to school.

I started this as a 'bit of fun' for both the children and myself. However, talking to the teachers they told me they get a lot of positive opportunities from these sessions. Children, especially the disruptive ones, become engaged with the subject and the teachers use this as a teaching tool for weeks afterwards. I now see this as more than just fun but 'giving something back'.

In one particular lesson a year 5 boy put his hand up at the end of the lesson and said "When I grow up I am going to be Mr Explorer".
