Ballot Street challenge complete! 1KK created a CAF of dishes using ginger and cinnamon. Then we linked the dishes to Julia Donaldson stories. 1KK created a recipe card for Stickman ginger biscuits by sequencing the instructions in order. @VicParkAcademy @TraceyHerbert2

Only 5% of governors are from ethnic minority backgrounds according to ⁦@DamianHinds⁩. Not so ⁦@VicAcademies⁩ with 56% BAME on the board (63% NED) and 60% as members. Equality and diversity are key to a successful board. #FIDES
