IEARN Project: Teddy Bear Exchange in Thailand
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

Dear Lynne,
I just found out about your site through google.
We have started a project based on traveling teddy bears too – www.wheresmyteddy.com – which enables you to register and then track class teddies or mascots around the world. As we’ve only just started, we’re looking for some schools to get involved and get things going. We already have schools joining us from Africa, UK, New Zealand, and the USA. Do you think you would be interested ina collaboration here?
Check out our website and see what you think, and please get in touch if it sounds fun or if you have any questions.
