| Summary: | How do you reward students for doing good work? Mike Burr, head of ICT at Writhlington School in Somerset, believes the answer lies in giving children a project that's so engaging that just completing it is enough.

The aim is to make the Year 6 pupils feel at home when they move into Year 7. |
