Weather around the World Day

Posted Sunday, April 27, 2008 12:55 PM by kent-teachers

As you may know, Kent is running a Weather Watch project this year.

We are now looking forward to our first ever Weather around the World Day on Wednesday 21st May 2008

Colette Cotton (Leading ICT Teacher – Shepway 1) last term invited the overseas schools listed below to join “The Weather Watch” project. Since then the schools have each week been adding their weather data to the project “Google” spreadsheet.

  1. Peponi House School, Nairobi Kenya   
  2. ZS Rudna School, Czech Republic 
  3. Skola 707, Poland
  4. Salorno BZ, Italy

We also hope that Faith Lutheran College, Australia will also be taking part in this project.

This term the pupils in each of the schools plan to publish on the internet information about:

  • climate,
  • farming,
  • tourism,
  • lifestyle and
  • the local geography of their area.

  The children’s work will be available for others to read by Monday 19th May.

Is your school (home school)  interested in taking part?

This is a wonderful opportunity for project schools to establish a link (short-term or permanent) with a school overseas.

 If you are interested in taking part in the “Weather around the World Day”  please contact Philip
