\u00a0\u2018Pachamama\u2019\u00a0<\/strong>(Mother Earth) for short! Through working together on this project our pupils developed their language skills and thought a lot more about our environment and the challenges that face people in different countries. We developed new practices of recycling and built a \u2018Comenius Garden\u2019 in the grounds to grow plants from the partner countries and to encourage a greater diversity of wildlife.<\/p>\n\t Our project \u2018Play Together to Learn Together\u2019, was a joint project between six European schools and is funded by the European Commission. It was a three-year\u00a0project running from\u00a0September 2014 to the end of August 2017. \u00a0It\u00a0was designed by school teachers to help our students make better progress in their literacy and mathematics skills and to help support the progress of those students who are disadvantaged for a variety of reasons. The idea of the project was for these students to work with staff and students from their European partner schools, to produce educational games which will encourage the development of their social, emotional and academic understanding.<\/p>\n
The project proposal was written by Mrs. Ellis and she was the project coordinator for the six schools. It was a privilege to be involved with such a project as only a proportion of project proposals are accepted and funded each year. Through our project, we not only benefited from staff and pupils visiting our school and teaching in our school but have had the experience of teaching across Europe and gave our Year 6 pupils the opportunity to visit Poland and to experience Polish schooling and culture first hand.<\/p>\n
In June of 2017, we welcomed all our project partners to Sherborne for the final meeting \u2013 it was an excellent five days where pupils played all the games made during the project and took part in lessons given by our project partner staff.<\/p>\n
If you click on the project logo\u00a0above, you can find out all about the schools involved and the activities we were working on together. You will be able to see photographs, watch videos or read updates about the project as it progressed. We hope you will learn something about the countries involved and be able to see how much the children can benefit from working with others across Europe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
