"Children only spend 9% of their waking life in a classroom. At Children's University, we unlock a love of learning to make the most of the other 91%" youtube.com/watch?v=fsotHT…

We've had more evidence sent in today for challenges completed over the half term week. Lots more hours of learning gained. A very wet, and muddy trail at Ferry Meadows, and look at those unicorn pancakes, how creative! 🦄

Some fantastic learning has taken place over the half term holiday amongst our participants. Some of the challenges the children chose to take part in included family history learning, word challenges, Valentine's day cards and pancake making!

If you're looking for something to do this weekend the @kid_fest at the East of England showground looks fantastic. Lots of learning activities validated for your passports too!

Children's University was named a 'promising project' by @EducEndowFoundn and now we're working with them on a new study. Great opportunity for new primary schools in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire & Fenland to get involved & be part of this exciting trial childrensuniversity.co.uk/eef
