Take a Step Forward

Three more  A' classes have participated in the workshop Take a step forward.  They liked the different class setting and organisation which is very different from their conventional sitting arrangement in two's.  For a change, they sat in  a circle, followed by standing in line and taking steps forward and observing the position of others and lastly, debriefing.  They completed exit cards at the end of the session which I consider valuable feedback.  What follows is their exit card notes:
