Lots of interest in looking after our Stick Insects today during exploration time. We gave them new leaves and a fresh spray of water ready for the weekend and we had the chance to hold some very active Stickies.

Independent projects allow our learners to develop numeracy and maths skills in relevant contexts. This learner is planning to run her own jewellery shop so has been costing materials, calculating potential profit, practising adding prices together and calculating change #whatif
