Why eTwinning?

‘WCPS prides itself on being an innovative, outward looking school that is interested in and involved with the world outside its doors. By eTwinning with a school abroad, we continue with this outlook by entering into the world of another school and viceversa. Together, we are discovering our similarities and differences, and celebrating the diversity if our lives.

Pupils are using ICT (and paper and pen) to communicate in their own language as well as in the language of the partner school and ths their skills in many areas of the curriculum are being enhanced – geography, history, literacy, citizenship, art, music, technology and, of course, ICT and Language.’

What did people say about the project?‘I have been taken aback by

enthusiasm and commitment shown to this project, the benefits which our children will receive from it will go to

enhance their knowledge and understanding of the wider world. It

also adds a new dimension to support the work they are doing in

learning a second modern language.’ Simon Rowney. Chair of Governors, Whitehouse Common Primary School

‘It has given the children more interest in Spain and what life is like there. As for staff, I feel that we are committed to our MFL scheme as we are involving e-twin with it and the project has also linked really well with our PSHE / citizenship activities.’

Jamie Barry, KS1 Team leader and Literacy coordinator, Whitehouse

Common Primary School

What did people say about the project?‘Señora Stevens’ efforts and hard

work are to be highly commended in setting up and keeping the project moving along. I thought it would be

interesting to contact my counterpart in sunny España so I sent a quick

email explaining who I was and what I did. ‘ John Horne, caretaker,

Whitehouse Common Primary School

‘The energy of Mrs Stevens is contagious. She has inspired a

team of ‘champions’ who are now working to develop their own

Spanish so that our e-twinning project becomes an embedded,

sustainable and innovative part of our curriculum.’ Dale Hill,

Headteacher, Whitehouse Common Primary School

What did people say about the project?

‘e-Twinning has been great fun because we have communicated with the children in Spain. I have enjoyed it very much looking at all the websites and looking to see what is different there and

here.’ Nicola Year 5

‘I lived about learning about Spain because we got to learn about

what they do in Easter, then I went

and saw the band in Spain.’ Amy Year 2
