It was lovely to see all of our Local and UK Partners today on the videoconference, although there seemed to be some technical problems with the sound!! It was a great shame that we were not able to speak with each other and discuss the rights if the child as planned, maybe if we ever try video conferencing again we should use smaller groups and as it seemed to work better?
Nevertheless, I know that our students enjoyed seeing their friends in Bangladesh and I think some of them were typing short messages to each other too. It's a promising start!
I was talking to some of our teachers this morning about their project ideas for next year, and they seem keen to do some work on identity: "Who am I?" "How do I fit into my local community?" "What is my place within the local area / region?" "How about on a national level?" "And internationally?" They think this could be tied into looking at the Geography of the local areas in the UK and Bangladesh, as well as religion and history. Some of the schools would also be keen to show their responses to these questions in the form of a dance / drama. Collages could also be created to show what each student / group of student’s thinks defines best who they are. These are only loose ideas, which we will work on over the next few weeks, but please could you send us ideas from your cluster in the meantime, so that we can ensure that all partners get to make equal contributions?
Many thanks to all for hard working to organize the videoconference.
