LittleOctopus Publishing started life in 1996 when we received a commission from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) to write a text, Growing Pains, to support the teaching of plant biology in British primary schools. In 1997 we arranged a workshop tour of primary schools in the South East of England to support its launch. A special edition of Growing Pains was chosen by the Association for Science Education (ASE) for their Science Year CD ROM, which was sent to all British primary schools in 2002.

Between 1997 and 2001 we created eight new science texts which are published in two volumes as Science Centre Stage.
In 2002 Kent County Council commissioned us to write a CD-ROM to support drugs education in Kent’s 700 primary schools. The CD-ROM was very well received and contained over 30 texts, policy documents and videos. We have expanded on that to create our most recent project, the Drugs Centre Stage volumes 1 and 2, which we are publishing in May 2006. We are currently hard at work researching and writing two texts covering bullying for primary schools. These texts will be published as two volumes later in 2006. |
