6. Feedback
'Tallis Lab is a reflecting lesson: you have to
think of ideas and you are not told exactly
what you should be doing. You are given an
idea and then you have to expand it by
yourself which I think is good because you 'This gives us more help
get more independence' when we're older, when we're
doing our jobs we're not
going to be reading a
manual saying what to do,
we're going to be thinking it
'We've learned from our mistakes - without up ourselves.'
teachers telling us we've had to work it out for
ourselves. As a result, I've learnt how to work
within a group, and communicate better with
my classmates'
