Our Global Heritage Survey
As part of our 2021 Global Week, we conducted a survey with the school community to find out where in the world everyone comes from. The survey also created a fantastic opportunity for the children to conduct further research and explore their country of heritage such as:
- finding out the main language(s) spoken and learning how to say something in that language
- exploring (or even cooking) traditional foods
- investigating customs and festivals
- identifying the flag
- exploring the geography of the country such as capital city, climate, mountains, rivers, national parks, etc
- investigating the native wildlife
As a result of this project, we recorded a fantastic 35 different countries! These are England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, South Africa, America, Romania, Canada, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, France, Slovakia, Malta, Italy, Australia, Gibraltar, Cyprus, Latvia, India, Ukraine, Guernsey, Mauritius, Sweden, Portugal, Pakistan, Belgium, New Zealand, Moldova, Greece, Jamaica, Switzerland, Saint Lucia , Thailand, Serbia.
We have celebrated this project with a vibrant display of flags which represent everyone's heritage in the Bluecoat Hall.
