A set of pages to celebrate our international links with China and the Gambia.
The GambiaCBJS have a developing link with Muhammedan Lower Basic, a school located in the central area of the Gambia. We have already completed a variety of activities including 'A Day in the Life', science investigations and have exchanged various powerpoint presentations and letters. All of these activities have been designed to enable both schools to gain a greater understanding of both the differences and similarities that are in our world. This year we will be developing our friendship further through our Year 6 children and their topic 'Come Fly With Me' based around Africa. Here are some presentations that the children in the Gambia have sent to our school: In July 2012 we were sent a number of Olympic medals made by the children in The Gambia for us to use on sports day. Here is a photo of some Y5 children modelling the medals they won at sports day: |
