I gave a short presentation at the 2015 GTCS National Probationer Event about a project I had designed for my P2 class based on a fantastic book called ‘Cakes in Space’ by Philip Reeve and Sarah McIntyre. The book provided a basis for a whole term of work combining technologies, art and design, dance, drama, literacy and maths.

The TESS picked up on the fact that the project had coincided with the Scottish Independence Referendum and that we had held an interplanetary referendum to decide whether, if we were moving to another planet (like the characters in the book), we would take the rule book with us from Earth or make up our own rule book when we got there.
