What Do Children Think About Golden Time?

June 2014

By Gabrielle Human

My research question is - What do children in my school think about Golden Time?

I chose this question because I can tell my head teacher and he might make some changes to make Golden time better.

My Research

Before I gave people my questionnaire . I handed out my consent form on it I promised to keep their identity and thoughts secret.
