etwinning and epals

Year 5 have been awarded an etwinning label for our Teddy Bear project, and Year 6 classes are both part of the epals network. Both of these websites are part of the Global Gateway, whose aim is to bring an international dimension to education. We are proud of our efforts to bring internationalism into the curriculum and enjoy finding out about our friends in other countries.

Teddy and the corresponding project!

Years 5 and 6 have just started projects linking with different schools in France. Year 5 are doing a project with a Teddy, through the etwinning website. He is photographed doing his activities with the pupils. This week he watched them all open lovely letters and New Year's "cartes de voeux" which we were very pleased with. We will soon be sending our French penpals interesting information, pictures, menus and film clips about food we typically eat in our country, and hope we hear about their food soon! Year 6 have received letters too, and are planning their replies. We have two schools which we have linked up with through the epals website.
