Project Activities
Meet Our Partner Class and Share Favourite Places
Students introduce themselves and their neighbourhood to the partner class through a short video call or recorded greetings. They name one favourite place and explain why it matters to them.
Photograph or Sketch Our Favourite Local Places
Students take photos or draw simple sketches of favourite places in their neighbourhood, then write a few words about each one. Teachers help them choose places that show daily life, people, and community spirit.
Exchange Pictures and Compare Our Communities
Students share their photos or sketches with the partner class and look at theirs together in pairs or small groups. They note what looks similar, what looks different, and how each place makes them feel.
Create a Shared Map of Similarities and Differences
Students work with partner students to build a simple shared chart or mural that compares the two neighbourhoods. They include feelings, customs, and symbols they noticed, and discuss how they can show empathy toward each other's places.
Present Our Local Places and Reflect Together
Students present their favourite places and key comparisons to the partner class and reflect on what they learned about each other. They end by sharing one thing they now understand better about another community.
