Focus the Spotlight on Learning

On Wednesday 3 August, we will focus the spotlight on your learning...

Did you know:
- Learning new things is like water and sunshine to the brain
- Learning makes the brain grow stronger
- Your brain will become stronger when you exercise it

- You can succeed, it might only need a lot of practice
