In the maker space at EtonHouse Orchard International School, students huddle over a table in groups of three to four. They talk excitedly about weight and support, fiddling with dry spaghetti sticks and one fluffy marshmallow. There’s laughter and cheering. What’s going on?
I deeply respect the work of our teachers and assistants. Every day, I see them invest all their energy, patience and respect in the children in their class.
