IEARN Project: Teddy Bear Exchange in Thailand

Posted by Andrew Ferrier on Feb 25th, 2008

Enclosed is a message from Lyn Whitford (IEARN UK)

A great opportunity has arisen with our colleagues in iEARN in Thailand as 2 schools are looking for UK partner schools with which to exchange a Teddy Bear.

Ideally, we’d like a class from Year 4 and another from Year 7.

This is an ideal first project and also one of our most popular! Why? It’s relatively simple to start; the bear is involved in all of your school activities; the pupils learn about another culture and new technologies….and it’s fun!!!

Pupils often exchange clothes, books, sweets etc for the Teddy and like to stay in touch.

The schools in Thailand are very keen, so if you would like to take part then please email me by return with the following details:-

Name of Teacher

Name of School

Address of School

Teacher email

Year of Pupils

Number of Pupils

If you are interested in an exchange with schools in a different country, then please let me know and I can try to match your request.

Best Wishes
