Have you got a partner school abroad? We have just set up our first two links abroad - one in France and one in the Ivory Coast. We're hoping to use these links to practise the French we've been learning as well as find out about life in different countries and cultures! It's all very exciting...
We managed to find our partner schools through the Global Gateway ( www.globalgateway.org.uk ). It was easy to register, and then we just had to write to 4 or 5 schools to express our interest in pairing up with them.
So far all we've exchanged is some emails and photos, but eventually we might be able to do things like videoconferencing and even exchanges!
If you've set up a link already, leave us a comment to give us some tips!
