As we sit here trying to unpick the blur from last weekend’s RAF Centenary celebrations, it becomes clear that a fun-packed and mesmerising day was had by all (LTT included) at the RAF Cosford Air Show.

Its 4pm on a sunny Thursday afternoon, and another LTT Geolocation day has come to an end. This is one of many that have been planned and booked in by schools over the coming weeks and I look forward to each and everyone of them - even if I was in the snow a few weeks ago!

Over the years common phrases amongst adults have been “I don’t do maths!” and “that’s not for me.” However, these phrases are now more closely linked to the use and teaching of technology. With the fear of new technology and the curriculum that underpins this rising with each update, more and more adults are quick to avoid tech based experiences that rely on an engaged understanding and revert to a passive experience. (Consuming rather than creating.)

As the children were busy building robots to take on the trials planned for them, a quick glance above would give a clue as to a potential role in engineering that could grow from their interest in STEM.

We write emails, instructions, social media posts, lists and reports but rarely a story or poem.

For most adults in the world today, the idea of sitting down to write for the purpose of entertainment is a luxury few have and even fewer have the time for.

On Wednesday 28th June, Year 7 students from local Secondary schools: Colton Hills, Heath Park and Moreton Community joined Learning Technologies and HeadStart staff for a fun-filled day at Kingswood Trust.
