International Ambassadors projects – in collaboration with St Denis Primary School, Scotland.
2019-2020
At the beginning of the academic year, we created a whole year project based on acts of kindness - ‘’Pay it forward’’. The film with the same name inspired the project: ‘’Think of an idea to change the world – and put it into action’’. Our idea was to perform as many acts of kindness as possible (environmental, school community, wider community, school present exchanges etc.)
We started ‘’the chain of kindness’’ in our school by planting trees. As part of a Woodland Trust project, which encourages schools to plant more trees for cleaner air, we obtained sponsorship for 420 trees. This meant every child in school was able to plant a tree on the school grounds and in the community, with the support of our local Parish Council.
From September until March, we all participated in different activities at school. After March, the rest of the activities were completed remotely, with pupils and teachers involved at all levels of cooperation and communication.
We worked with partners from all across Europe, but for the first time in our case, we also involved our partner school from Accra, Ghana. Their pupils obtained a sponsorship and were able to plant 55 trees on their school grounds. They participated in acts of kindness towards their peers and raised money to buy new uniforms for some of their peers who could not afford to buy a new uniform.
The International Ambassadors in our school organised cake sales events and we raised money to buy and send books for the children from Accra.

2016-2017
In September 2016, we had a new French school that joined our pen pal project - Ecole Emile Doucet, Tourlaville. We exchanged letters, cake recipes and Christmas carols.
On the 18thJuly 2017, our school organised the first cross-school event in the area. The event, called ‘’Franco chanson et Franco- poésie’’ brought together pupils, teachers and parents from five primary schools in the area. The pupils performed songs, poems or short plays in French, for a whole afternoon of celebrating languages.

In September 2015 we started a pen pal project with Ecole Etienne Chazoule, Biars sur Cère, France, in our French after school club.
