Impact
Through the children’s engagement with Glow, Francine has been able to reinforce learning intentions, give support for homework activity out of school hours and provide her pupils sign posts for what is coming soon in the class and the school. Glow has provided the safe and secure environment in which the pupils have collaborated and cooperated on learning activities set by Francine and the national Dr Who event. Through the Dr Who event, the pupils of P6 have had a nationwide audience for their work, something which has motivated them to excel in their creative writing.
In the video below, Francine assesses the impact Glow has had.
