For the next two years, our school has entered into an exciting partnership with schools from Turkey, Portugal, Greece and France to work on a project named, ‘Second Chance of Environment’. During this project the children at our school, along with the adults, will have the opportunity to forge links with children at our partner schools whilst learning all about ways of helping our environment. We will be working together closely across our five nations on a variety of tasks, some of which will see staff and children embark on journeys to visit other schools in the partnership!

The photograph above was taken when Mrs White and Miss Corbett attended the first transnational meeting of the partnership which was held in Turkey in December. They had a fantastic and most interesting time and were made to feel extremely welcome by the Turkish people they encountered, especially the children in the school.

Mrs White and Miss Corbett, enjoyed exploring the local area and trying out some of the local delicacies!

They were even invited to take Turkish coffee with the Head of Education for the locality!

 

Mrs White did a presentation in front of the Turkish pupils to tell them all about our school, she showed them lots of photographs of our school and of the work we do in Britain. 

The team voted for a winning design to become the logo of our project:

Our entries from Bussage were fantastic, however the overall winner came from our Portuguese partner school, and here it is!

We look forward to welcoming visitors from our partners to Bussage later on in 2017.
