Picture mystery

Dear Palestinian friends

I'm really happy to see that linked activities and twinning clubs are continuing; I've seen letters going backwards and forwards which is wonderful.  It's also great news that Camden teachers are going to Palestine again to work with young people in the summer.

Thank you for posting pictures of your activities on the blog recently. I don't know why, but some of them are just appearing as big exclamation marks, like this... !!!!!!

I don't know if there is anything you can do about it. Are you posting them from your computers directly? Or from Facebook or something? If you can change them it would be nice.

Hope you are all well!

More schools involved

On 8th Dec 2015, we were looking forward with excitement to 23 schools being involved in this school-linking project.  Recently, we have been reminded by the Knighton Primary School visited during the project that they are interested in starting a new school link. This shows that new things are still coming out of the project, and we have had a look to see how many schools were actually involved during 2016! It seems that teachers and schools were involved from over 40 schools in the two countries (in Hackney and Chester, teachers visited more than one school). By the end of the year, we were talking about 14 pre-existing links, 21 new links made through the visits as well as three schools actively seeking linked schools in the other country.

The difficulties of school-linking continue, with the many issues of communication, but we are delighted to hear of the many different things (small as well as big) that show continued interest between teachers and students on both sides. Sorry that some of the photos recently put on the blog don't appear to show (at least here in the UK). We will all go on building this work!
