  • Potato traps.
  • Are the mini-beasts in your area different to the mini beasts in our area?
  • We place a potato trap in the school gardens and leave it there for three days.You do the same and we compare what you catch with what we have caught.
  • For instructions on how to make a potato trap click the snail.

A Day In the Life of the World. We wrote to many countries around the world asking them to answer the same questions at the same time. We wanted to discover if people did the same things, ate the same things liked the same things and worried about the same things..... Here are our results..... We will develop this project in the coming weeks.

South African Link

An exciting project between two school 6185.87 miles apart. One in Llandudno, Wales in the Northern Hemisphere and the other in George, South Africa in the Southern Hemisphere.

Once upon a time..

Here we have 6 stories being written at the same time by six schools in Norway, Barcelona, Sardinia, Netherlands and Wales. Once upon a time...

Flat Fred

The idea  of the project is to find out what type of things different people do in their jobs. How would a week in the life of a pop star be different to a week in the life of, say, a politician, or a policeman or a nurse?

Adverts

Here we manipulate images to create wacky advertisements! We link with schools in Norway, Catalonia, Italy, Germany and Holland. But anyone can join in!

Global Story

Click here for the global story. We start a story and invite other schools around the world to add a chapter. Journey with Chips as he visits different countries

If you would like to take part in the next global story please e-mail us.

Around the World in 80 Days

Preconceptions

This is a story about Explorer Fred who has to visit as many different countries as he can in 80 days. But he is no ordinary explorer. In his diary he writes down everything he knows (or thinks he knows!) about the country he visits. It's actually what we think we know about the country! We would be grateful if the partner schhols corrects him when he arrives. I suppose that there is an opportunity to offend here with our ignorance, so accept our sincerest apologies before we start. Then the explorer can do something in the country he visits (you decide) like visit an important landmark or perhaps go for a meal, anything really. It's up to you. Then send him back to us via e-mail with your preconceptions of Wales and we will put his travels on the web site before sending him off somewhere else.

If you would like to take part please e-mail us.

DOWNTOBIZ

A Comenius Project. Working with partner schools in Italy, Catalonia, Netherlands and Norway .

Back to Front (tnorF) Story

We wrote the last chapter of the story first and then  invited schools across the world to write the preceding chapters.

Calling European Schools

Would you like to take part in our next project. We have joined forces with schools across Europe to help us to answer the following questions:

  1. Does Spring happen at the same time across Europe? We send you some spring flowering bulbs (for free!) which you then plant. Each school  records the date the bulbs flower.
  2. How long does it take for the Spring to arrive?Record when you see Summer Migrants (swallow, swift, cuckoo and red admiral butterfly) and let us know . We hope to be able to map the progress of swallows across Europe from their wintering grounds .
  3. Tell us when you hear the cuckoo so we can follow it's journey from it's wintering grounds.

If you would like to join in the fun then please e-mail us and we will send you your pack of free bulbs.
