International Pages - Our Passport Project

Introduced by Mrs Kaunhoven in 2005 the Passport Project involves all pupils and as many parents as possible. We invite contributions from home and receive books, pictures and artefacts as well as pieces of work completed especially for the display which we put up in the central corridor.

The country focus changes each term. Sometimes we emphasise key events or festivals in the calendar, e.g. we studied China in February to capitalise on Chinese New Year.

Each child has a 'passport', a folder in which they keep their work based on each month's country. As a minimum teachers set one research homework a term using the country as a starting point and throughout the month every pupil visits the display and writes, draws or collects an entry for their passport.

In assembly we play music from our focus country and at lunchtimes once a week photographs of the country are projected onto a screen while children eat.
