Thanks for your support so far!

It's been another extremely busy week for the Steam Powered Stories team. Not only have we been designing and receiving new merchandise, but we have been out in the community promoting the What you say Counts! scheme and gaining public support. 
Yesterday, yes you've guessed it, we headed to Neath's Family Fun Day in Gnoll Country Park. Despite the freak downpours of rain, it was a fantastic day and we thoroughly enjoyed meeting parents and children who came along. 

Emily provided excellent face paints as always, whilst Hayley and Jess raised awareness of the scheme, helped children as they completed their free maths activities, and spoke to parents about how SPS could benefit their child.


During the summer holidays, we have been aiming to recieve feedback from parents, employers, and children regarding the WYSC! project and how Steam Powered Stories, and Learn and Grow Ltd govern the scheme. We would like to thank all parents that have taken the time to share their opinions and show their support for the project. 

The conducted questionnaire (still ongoing) asked parents if they thought it was a good idea to bring employers into schools to show children how maths is used in the workplace.

We can reveal today, that out of all parents asked, every parent agreed that bringing employers into schools for projects was an excellent idea!



To thank parents for taking part, and to raise more awareness of the project, we are in the process of creating a parents newsletter. If you would like a copy of the parents newsletter, feel free to fill out our contact form on the left hand side of our blog. 

Additionally, we are still giving away FREE maths packs that are designed specifically for your child's age and capability. If you would like a maths pack, fill in the contact form and we will be in touch! 




Tomorrow, Hayley and Emily will be heading to Builth Wells promoting the WYSC scheme and an upcoming project in the area. If you acquire further information about the project, feel free to tweet us @SteamStories 

DON'T FORGET! Next week is your last chance to meet the SPS team in Gnoll Park, Neath, so come along and get involved. We can't wait to tell you about the WYSC scheme! 

Thanks for reading!
