This report focuses on the need to develop teaching methods that enable students to become totally immersed in their own education. At an early age, the students whom we teach asked questions. These questions were vast in their nature and persistent; the never-ending ‘Why?’. But at some point in their early schooling experience, we stem the flow of our students' desire to question, providing them, instead, with a teacher designed curriculum. This project looks at how we can involve the students again in designing their own schemes of work and co-constructing their own learning in conjunction with their teachers.
