Welcome
Welcome to the Schools section of the Warwick-Bo One World Link.
We are a group of volunteers here in Warwick District, mostly, but not all, ex-teachers, who are trying to support the efforts of working teachers in our linked schools.
We keep them informed of OWL activities, facilitate meetings for them to share experiences and difficulties, arrange visitors, produce teaching materials and resources, give lessons and assemblies; and generally do what we can to nurture our school links with Bo Town in Sierra Leone.
‘Our’ song -
You are my brother,
You are my friend.
You are my sister,
Our love should
never end.
Whatever colour
Our skin or our hair,
Let us live together.
This
is our pray’r
Lift your banners high!
Work for justice and for peace.
Lift your banners high!
May our friendship never cease.
Lift your banners high!
We will sing in ev’ry land.
Lift your banners high!
For in Jesus' name we stand

2013 EXCHANGE VISIT WITH BO
It is hoped that an exchange visit between teachers in Warwick District and Bo District wil be arranged through a British Council Connecting Classrooms Grant for next year (subject to our application being successful)
February 11th - 15th 2013
The schools that hope to have a teacher visiting Bo at that time are:
Clapham Terrace
Budbrooke
Brookhurst
Our Lady and St Theresa’s
This would means that there could be the opportunity for 4 teachers to visit us here later in the year.
This term’s project
EXTENSION!
Please get your project to Liz Garrett John Myers or Brian Austin by
Friday 14th December
to enable it to be taken to Bo (via Freetown) by the end of term.
This half term we would like each linked school to take part in the exchange of a
Seasons Project
We will write/illustrate our weather/seasons/month by month and our schools in Bo will do the same so that we can compare and ask one another questions.
The aim is to create an educational resource for each linked school which encourages critical thinking (Global citizenship skills)
The following areas can be covered:
- A comparison of the months/ seasons
- Weather to be included month by month
- Effect of the seasons/months on wildlife (fauna and flora)
- Food crops grown and harvested and how this is done
- Different foods that may be eaten
- Events/customs/religious festivals that occur
- Clothes that are worn
- Origin of the name of the month
- Sustainable living
See our own teaching resources for some help with ideas and materials:
