Feedback

'Tallis Lab is a reflecting lesson: you have to think of ideas and you are not told exactly what you should be doing. You are given an idea and then you have to expand it by yourself which I think is good because you get more independence'

'This gives us more help when we're older, when we're doing our jobs we're not going to be reading a manual saying what to do, we're going to be thinking it up ourselves.' 'We've learned from our mistakes - without

teachers telling us we've had to work it out for ourselves. As a result, I've learnt how to work within a group, and communicate better with my classmates'
