Hello, I am a Primary school teacher and love your Helix emails and quizzes. However, I noticed in this month’s quiz the score was incorrect. While it is not important for me as an adult your student participants may find that disconcerting.
Love your work. Regards Jenny Hotham

Hello, I am a primary school teacher. I love your magazines and emails. In this digital age have you considered digital copies of your magazine. It might make the magazines more affordable to regional schools and keep your great publication going. Best of luck for your continued success.
