Approximately 18 months ago, Miss Danks, in year 5, made contact with a school in India. The Heritage School in Jammu. Since then we have worked on a number of projects together. The first project, involved each school preparing information text on school life.
Since then we have sent them information on Bonfire night, which they have said they have loved reading as they knew nothing about how we celebrate 'Bonfire Fire' night. Our work is now on display in their school.
We have just received a package from India all about the Indian festival of Diwali, our children have loved looking through all the posters and information booklets that they have sent to us and learning more about this festival.
In recent weeks we have started to communicate via our mutual Facebook pages. This means that we can communicate instantly with each other, see pictures and watch videos of what each school has been learning. It is truly amazing.
