Comments
We have liked doing the pond project because:
George: It involves ICT and Science
Sam: it involves working with other people and
Looking at creatures.
Maddy: I liked it because we got to find out about the blue Damsel Flies

George: “That was great – I really enjoyed it, and it was fun seeing all the other groups there at the same time. And meeting up this way, we have saved energy and haven’t made lots of waste carbon dioxide”
