The teachers will resume with the systematic implementation of the programme and the conceptual domain of Shape after the visit.

The BCP is the best place to start for learners with limited vocabulary and for closing the vocabulary gap.

Metro Central Teacher Comment (July, 2013)

The sessions were clear, informative, exciting, well presented, practical, logical and relevant to the context of teaching young learners.
