Morpeth Road has been involved in a partnership with 6 other schools across Europe so that we could increase our childrens knowledge of the outside world. The countries involved in this project are France, Germany, Holland,Finland, Italy and the Czech Republic.
Each class in school has been allocated a country and has done an in depth study of the culture and history of that country.
We have had many of our teachers go over and visit the schools assigned to them in their countries and the teachers from those countries have been across here to visit us.
We also have on a regular basis Video conferencing with the 6 countries so that our children can communicate and see the children in their own classrooms, exchanging stories ideas songs etc. all to the benefit of the class
One of our school tasks was to produce a calendar for the project and create a video story that the other countries could build upon.Above and below are 2 of the title pages of the calendar. To veiw the comenius web site please go to this address. www.peda.net/veraja/porvoo/comenius1012/eng
