I found this booklet stretched and challenged my child.
I found the challenges engaged my child.
My child enjoyed doing the challenges on their own and knew
what was expected of them.
The website contained all the relevant information I needed
to know about the project.
I am content with the amount of work that my child was
asked to complete in this 2 week project.
The instructions and guidance for the project was clear and
concise.
My child received feedback during the project to help guide
them through the process.
My child attended Homework Club to complete aspects of
this challenge booklet.
