It seems to have mixed reviews depending who you talk to.
I can say that the students at the session I went to enjoyed the hands-on aspect of it, as much as the interaction with other students' parents and grandparents who came along to mix and mingle. They also encouraged good oral language at each activity.
I also liked how we mixed two classes of different levels - it allowed for great leadership skills to be acknowledged and utilised, and as always, the younger ones love having attention from older students.
We find that the older students learn more when they have to explain to younger students; it can deepen their understanding as they need to think through responses suitable for younger students.
