ABSTRACT

“It’s always the same at this time of year. All of our Year 6 kids start getting twitchy—they are either hyper or irritable, or just plain sulky. They just get too big for their boots, we are glad to see them go in a way,” sighed an after school club leader as she watched a quarrel develop in a group at the corner of the room. Certainly the large group of eleven year olds seemed to be working hard to make their presence felt throughout the session.
