There has been a huge amount of excitement about our new project that we launched with an international school in Colombia, Colegio Hacienda Los Alcaparros.

Pupils from Year 4 and Year 6 worked for a week on a video in which they talked about themselves and answered questions they were asked by the Colombian pupils, as well as asking them questions of their own.

The Year 4 students told us about Russian Christmas and Maslenitsa, as well as our school and subjects. We even talked about the Tooth Fairy, as in South America children believe that a mouse takes away a loose milk tooth.

Year 6 students talked about how important local economies are and our countries long term development goals. Students also shared what they have learnt about this in lessons.

We still have lots of projects planned for after the holidays. We are confident that these projects will help to develop the concept of the ‘global citizen’ that each of us is.

The script of a once unrealistic fantasy film has become your reality. But who do you work for? And your friends? What professions are in demand right now?

What comes to your mind when you hear the word Cambridge? Foggy streets, the River Cam with its gondolas, ancient spires and students in robes? Yes, that's all true.
