The Linking Network inspires and equips schools to support children and young people to build meaningful connections across all kinds of differences.
We are delighted to be part of the project. Children in Kites Class are very excited to be linking with a Year 4 class at Oakridge Primary School in High Wycombe.
Helen Giggins came into school to share her expertise on the project in an assembly.
Children from Hawks class were delighted to share what we have been doing so far. We have received lettes and bunting from our link class at Oakridge school. The bunting has a greeting, their name and something they like to eat or do. It's really going to brighten up our classroom and we have loved learning about our new friends!
We have also exchanged powerpoints, so we can see the similarities and differences between our schools. We are a rural setting while they are in the middle of High Wycombe. We were surprised how much space they had, their adventure playground looked really cool!
Next steps!
- A video meeting so meet out new friends!
- Writing and sending 'Curiosity Questions' to our link partner to find out interesting facts about them!
- Organising a time in the New Year to meet up!
