International project goes live with pupils at Rettendon School

Rettendon Primary School in Essex have just recently begun work on an International project, linking with a small school in Little Cayman. The Little Cayman Education Service community has just four pupils, with a fulltime teacher and learning support assistant.

Pupils at Rettendon Primary School put together a PowerPoint presentation with images and annotation to show what school life is like in the UK. The pupils are looking forward to being able to compare and contrast life in Little Cayman with life in their own school. This is an exciting project which has already seen many great outcomes, from excellent use of ICT, Literacy, Social and management skills to put a presentation together, independently. Well done to all the pupils who participated in making this PowerPoint.

Watch their presentation online. (This is a Flash file, about 25MB in size. Please be patient whilst in downloads and plays in the browser window.) You can interact with the presentation by clicking with the mouse to move it forward.

Alternatively, view the presentation as a QuickTime video file (much smaller at 6MB).

As a school governor responsible for ICT and someone who has initiated this relationship, I was delighted to see the pupils creative skills be put to good use. Check back here to see how the project progresses.
