Next, The MATH Project makes a gripping drama out of classroom maths in a film made with students at George Salter School. The Paperman is a short film of great charm filmed and put together by Year 6 students in Sussex to encourage recycling. In the fourth clip, hearing impaired students from Northern Ireland have fun creating a guide to a bird sanctuary. The final clip is taken from a film made with professional help at Graisley Primary School in Wolverhampton, a documentary of a term long school project igniting learning.
