  MEET THE CHILDREN
On Monday, October 16th the children were introduced to the project. They told us something about themselves and their expectations. Here you will find a random selection of their responses. Later, this page will be expanded to include new material arising from the workshops.
 
 
The children were asked a range of questions about themselves and their background. We asked them about lots of different topics ranging from what they think of computers, through to places they have travelled to. Here you can see a constantly changing selection of some of their responses.
