Today Sirius travelled to Spain for the third Transnational SOtC Project Meeting. He was accompanied by Mrs Arundel, Mrs Heavens, Ali Fortuna, Mrs Landeman and Mrs Martin.

Over the next week, Mrs Arundel will be leading the project meetings which will evaluate the project so far and plan the next steps with colleagues from Weston Favell UK, Croatia, Spain and Sweden.

Teachers will be involved in training sessions and will make school visits. Colleagues from The University of Northampton will be training delegates, looking at the science behind the lessons and keeping everyone updated in the research element of the project.
