11+ TV documentary

Post by drummer »

Sorry, but can anyone remember the name of the TV documentary a few years back that featured children being tutored for the Birmingham 11+ tests?

Thanks

Wow, brilliant thanks.

I was thinking of that the other day, and what a great bonus that it's available online.

Where can you find the cube used in part 2 as a teaching aid by one of the prep school teachers?

It looks 'home made' to me.

You could make similar set of cubes using correx, I have an abundance of the stuff, as its used on building sites, to protect floors, but having just looked you can buy it on Amazon in small quantities. You could buy white and use a white board marker to draw the symbols each time, but it may stain easily after wiping off, as its obviously not designed to be written and cleaned off like a whiteboard surface is.
Correx can be cut with a craft knife, and can be bent and folded, or one layer can be cut through , leaving the other side intact, for a sharp fold.
Patent pending. :wink:
