I snapped it with my camera phone and here are the snaps:

We were fortunate to have a very special helper come in to work with us. Activities included making Chinese dragons (to dance with), Chinese calligraphy, Chinese cooking, Chinese drama and traditional Chinese dancing. The pictures show my favourite part – Chinese food!!!

River levels have been getting higher and we’ve been a little concerned about the risk of flooding. Having not been able to see the extent of the flooding during daylight (I’m always at work!), I managed to see today how far the flood water extends. These are some of the photos I took with my phone. Full sized photos are in this gallery:

We integrated much of this work into Youth Award Scheme lessons in the past, and into other curriculum areas as we moved away from Asdan accreditation. Our work was well received by both pupils, parents and the local media.

For those of you that are interested in the case study and accompanying resources, they can be downloaded from PFEG or my resources site here.
