rainbow_island_conferenceDan Varney describes Rainbow Island, a geography simulation project in Hounslow that has evolved to stretch and challenge subject knowledge, thinking, learning and life skills. The focus is on extending the stretch and challenge to teachers through year-on-year collaborative redesign of a day-long experiential activity for G&T pupils from across the borough, infusing new strategies and techniques and risk-taking.
