Global School Partnership
We have successfully been awarded a Global Curriculum Project Grant, our Year 3 and Year 5 classes will be working with classes from the Niza Trust, our twin school in Zambia, for three years.
Our aims for the project are:
- To continue to strengthen our partnership
- To jointly embed the global dimension of sustainable development in our Design & Technology (DT) curriculums
- To challenge pupil perceptions of culture and standards of quality of life
St. Catherine's DT curriculum is based around QCA units and we are hoping to enhance our DT teaching and learning through a more global context.
The two schools will work together on projects on each side of the globe, they will be looking at:
- Collecting and comparing their carbon footprints
- Working out ways to recycle and reuse to make toys and objects which reflect sustainable use
The Niza Trust will be examining our curriculum, looking at delivering a QCA unit in their school, and sharing their reflections and ideas on how it could be developed.
Miss Booth and Mr Wilson plan to visit Choma in Zambia in April 2010, and two of their teachers will visit us in June 2010.
