We thought that the children may get fed up after a number of weeks in but the converse is true! Children enjoy repetition and the activities are fun. The children also enjoy being praised and rewarded and they don’t have to worry about getting anything wrong – because in BLAST they never do. We usually have the BLAST group coming along enthusiastically and another 6 asking when it will be their turn! This is also why it’s important for the BLAST resources to be kept for BLAST groups only as it keeps their interest. Each activity could be used separately but the reason that BLAST works is due to the structure, repetition and gradual increase in difficulty. If the children use the resources in other contexts, it won’t be so effective. Additional BLAST resources for use in class will soon be available via the website.
