CORYTON PRIMARY SCHOOL
2010 is an exciting year for our school. We are beginning a project
in association with the British Council which will open the
children’s horizons and introduce them to fellow pupils all over
Europe. During the next 2 years, Coryton will be partnered with
France, Spain, Finland and Poland and will be working on joint
projects with 6 different schools. The title of the 2 year project
is Work, Rest and Play.
During the Easter holidays and for the first week of the summer
term, Mrs. Harris began forging the first of our European links by
visiting a school in Bordeaux (Ecole Carle Vernet) and staying with
one of its teachers. She had a marvellous experience and, as well as
trying to learn French very quickly, taught the French pupils Welsh
country dancing, songs in Welsh and English and gave them gifts to
show the culture of Wales and the traditions of our school in
Coryton. Year 6 have already begun emailing some of CM1’s pupils.
