“Making it more exciting helps you learn better… because we’re doing it ourselves. If we read it out of book we would learn stuff, but we wouldn’t learn how we would do it… when you act it out its like your own story you’re doing… It’s fun because you all get to do stuff, it’s not like a boring teacher, saying do work, do this work, all boring work. This is work, but its like fun work, its creative stuff.”

“You want to make it more exciting because we won’t learn nothing if we think its boring… We wouldn’t want to learn if it wasn’t fun… that’s what all this roman stuff is about, we’re actually wanting to learn. That’s the thing that we like.”

“It’s fantastic. It’s really fun. I prefer working in a company because it’s much better and it tingles in my tummy.”

“There’s got to be a reason to do writing. If there wasn’t a reason I don’t see why I would really want to do writing. It makes you want to do it to get the old lady out of the house and write to Anglian Arborists to get that problem solved. ”

“If we didn’t work for a company it would be really boring. While you work for a company you don’t actually realise while you’re learning.”

“Instead of lots of lessons it’s like one big lesson that teaches us all sorts of things. The teacher makes it very exciting because she pretends to be other people and asks us questions.”
“We make things which are maths but it doesn’t feel like we are doing maths because it is interesting and fun.”
“I prefer to do lessons this way because you are doing different things all the time and that makes it a lot more fun and it’s easier to think of things. You forget how hard maths is when you are having fun doing it.”
“The lessons are different because we learn to use our imaginations. The lessons are lots more interesting and a lot of fun.”
“We wouldn’t survive in the desert without maths and literacy and stuff.”
“It’s great great great great because it’s hard work but it’s really really fun.”
“I like doing this because this is kind of maths but it is more fun than normal maths because this is a company and it’s fun in a company.”
“We couldn’t have had such a fun adventure without the King of Iruvia.”
“It’s good to be in Atlas Adventures and I’m glad to be part of it.”
“It’s really good working in a company. It is better than normal lessons because we get to see lots and lots of different things.”
“I think that it’s the best job in the world because we give people a really good time in somewhere different. If I had a choice of all the jobs in the world I would choose to work in Atlas Adventures. I prefer working in a company because we do maths and literacy in another way.”
