Back in 2009 Feltham City Learning Centre (CLC) in London's Hounslow ran a competition around the theme
"I dream of learning" and there were some very high quality entries from students - of course!.
I was SO delighted that at the annual BETT Show in London's Olympia this january (2010) amongst the Lampton School students who were on my Playful Learning stand (and who were wowing the BETT guests and various Ministers of Education with their thoughts about the importance of Play in learning) were these four who were
the winners of the competition!
Here they are making their acceptance presentation to an audience of some very senior and important folk upstairs in a presentation lounge at BETT. The four of them - Dharmbir (left), Ejiro, Yayra (speaking to the hand held microphone) and Steffan (at the rostrum) - are shown here as they make their school
very proud of them indeed - not the least because the £££ prize is: enough funding to
actually build their dream learning space, complete with chill out zone, astro turf floor, cognitive colouring, great tech and bean bags!
I thought their presentation was well paced and highly articulate, but also the way they fielded and answered some
really tricky questions from the senior folk there was even more impressive, as a host of folk have made a point of mentioning to me since.
Well done students - and well done Tony Peaty at Feltham CLC for putting the competition on in the first place. "I dream of learning"... fab.
here is their Powerpoint from the competition presentation earlier in the year.
