used by children initially in years 5 and 6. The idea provides a fun and user
friendly environment for children to record and detail the achievements that
they accomplish every day, both in the classroom and at the home. Using the
system, children can learn new ways of reflecting on the things they have
done, large or small, physically or mentally, and discover the key learning
points that make up each achievement. |
