Morning Denzil
Sorry for taking so long to reply. I want to thank you for a great visit at St Anthony’s Education Centre.
I was really impressed by the amount of activity that was taking place. I believe that listening to someone telling you about Maths or Science, or even reading and/or studying Maths or Science in a book is not that effective. This is illustrated in much the same way that reading or listening about exercise will make you fit. You have to DO to be effective.
