Bosnia: Two Schools Under One Roof Find out about the ‘Two Schools Under One Roof’ scheme, pioneered after the end of the Bosnian War Age range:7-11 Connecting Classrooms themes:Conflict and Peace / Rights and Responsibilities Curriculum links: Geography, PSHE, Citizenship Nada, 13, and Mina, 12, go to different schools with different head teachers in Keseljac, Bosnia Herzegovina. But the two schools are in the same building. This is known as ‘Two Schools Under One Roof’. But after so many years, it's keeping them apart. Most of the Bosnian Muslim pupils here - like Nada - want the two schools to merge. Bosnian courts have ruled that separating the children is wrong because they aren't being treated equally. About 50 miles away, Lelja and Gordana go to Konjic First School. It used to be ‘two schools under one roof’, divided by a glass wall, but just after Lelja started the two halves joined up. Now there’s one head teacher and staff. Almost all the children take the Bosnian classes, like Lelja in Year 8.
Flippa London ~ Kilskrift På tisdag åker jag iväg till BETT i London på uppdrag av Barnverket. Det ska naturligtvis bli fantastiskt roligt och jag hoppas att jag kan få många nya inputs för digitalt lärande. Jag hoppas förstås kunna blogga från London så häng gärna på och läs mina blogginlägg nästa vecka. När det började närma sig BETT-vecka och avresa började jag fundera på hur jag skulle kunna låta det här bli till nytta även för mina elever. Jag har beslutat mig för att göra en flipp för att mina elever ska lära sig lite om London. De har därför fått i "läxa"att ge mig uppdrag att utföra i London. På tisdag kväll åker fröken K till London. Det ska bli väldigt spännande att se vad det blir av det här.
- The Natural History Museum, London: A Walk Through Time I was never a very outdoorsy child. Interested in old history and buildings rather than dresses and makeup, I was too busy building modern Barbie houses and with my nose in a book, to play skipping games and race around the playground kissing boys (ok, a little of that did happen, usually in the art cupboard if I’m honest). This means it was no real surprise that when the lovely Keri (from Ladies That Travel) and I had our plans of brunch and wandering through Londonscuppered by a bout of dismal weather, we decided to pop over to the Natural History Museum near South Kensington instead. Warning: Images contain animal skeletons & taxidermy. As a childhood favourite haunt of Keri’s and one that I grew to love in the first few years living in the UK, the Natural History Museum has a special place in both our hearts, and taking a wander – even on a busy weekend day – was a walk down memory lane. The displays rock. This is his replacement. Did we love our wander? Pin for later: Like this:
