Our 'hands and feet' Comenius Project will explore the similarities and differences between the partner countries in terms of the children's daily lives. The activities, employment patterns and environmental issues of the local and regional environments and also to see how our local problems & efforts link into European and Global issues.

- What jobs do the pupils do to help at home
- Hands that help us in the wider community; e.g police, ambulance, fire service etc

Feet: March 2012 to May 2013
- Whose feet have been there before us?
- Any important historical people from our area

- How we can reduce the impact – sustainability
- Reduce / re-use / recycle
We will produce letters, e-mails, post cards, posters, DVDs and a craft book and will have to use entrepreneurial skills to cost, produce and sell their books in the local community.
Project visits will give the opportunity to share detailed planning, implementation and evaluation. It will also give teachers the chance to compare education systems, to exchange ideas and learn from each other.
