This has been a very
successful project so
far. We have
established very
positive links with the
other schools, shared
our cultures and made
friends! A group of P7’s
have visited Italy and
another is about to go
to Germany. The snowy
weather resulted in the
Swedish trip being
cancelled
This was discussed
during assemblies and
staff were given
information through our
newsletters. Develop
this next year!
