**What were your first impressions? What were you looking forward to?**
 * //The voice. The heart of the school shone. The children came first, their needs were the priority. Friendly, welcoming, well oiled for visitors. Large, lively, vibrant. Visitors become a need for the kids. The kids needed an authentic audience, a huge benefit from ICT. The kids have a real and global audience for their podcasting and interactions. The kids got just as much out of our visit as we did. Nothing was put on, it was honest and open. //
