Posted on behalf of Blythe School. SPECIAL SCHOOLS PLEASE WRITE TO US. We are a special education school in Coleshill, near Birmingham in the Midlands of England, with about 100 students from age 6 to age 18. Our Further Education group (over 16s) has been on the Internet for a year, but usage has not been very great so far. We are looking for another school in another country for an experiment in TWINNING SCHOOLS. This will be a *serious* and *committed* arrangement, with messages passing between us at least 3 times each week, and with students being twinned with their opposites in the other country. We are happy for information about favourite music groups and sports to be exchanged, but we believe that it is important for our students to have a focus on 'life skills', and so we want to start a series of exchanges about food and diet preferences. Please write direct to [log in to unmask] telling us something about your school. Serious exchanges will start in September, after the summer holidays. ----------------- These exchanges will be monitored by several teachers, but the main contact at Blythe School will be Emily Hannaby. For further information please write to Emily at [log in to unmask] ====================================== Tom Holloway - (+44) (0) 1926 888333 Director --- the Chatback Trust (UK) Home: 01926 771772 Fax: 01926 771707 Internet: [log in to unmask] www.rmplc.co.uk/eduweb/sites/chatback/ %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
