Today we sent bears on a bear exchange. My group sent a bear to a group of students in Germany who are also studying to become teachers. Our bear is called Tessie, she lives in the river Tay and is Nessie's (the Loch Ness Monster) cousin. With Tessie we sent some Scottish tablet and postcards with pictures of places in Scotland on them. I am really looking forward to hearing all about Tessie's adventures in Germany. It will give me an insight into what teaching students in another countries learn and their teaching beliefs. This would be a great learning opportunity in schools because it would provide children with opportunities to see what children their age do in other countries. It will also give them a deeper understanding of the variety of cultures and nationalities around the world. It also provides them with the opportunity to teach children in other countries about their hobbies and what they do at school.
This activity could tie in with Religious Moral Education in which the children will learn about other children's cultures and beliefs in various countries. It could also be linked to Geograpghy where by they learn about the ways in which other children live and their schooling, around the world.
