First FPS Session Today

Today we had our first FPS session and the group worked very well. The treatment and rights of animals is certainly an interesting topic and the group enjoyed the start of their research.

Remember to follow the links on the FPS Research if you have time.

If you find other sites that others would find interesting you can email me, claire.howison@stalbans.school.nz and I will add them.

Here is our work on linking our thinking to some of the FPS Categories.
