Inset on Global Learning at Dent Ce Primary school Leads to Innovative Curriculum Development Back in September 2013 CDEC led an inspirational (and fun) INS ET training day in Dent for the aims in mind: staff with three key 1. To raise awareness about Glo bal Learning and Global Citizenship with the staff in an engaging and 2. To develop a more informed non-threatening way; and holistic approach within the curriculum towards Global Learnin school to become active global citiz g and help pupils in ens – rather than pupils who wer e involved in one off charity fund 3. Use Global Learning as a cro raising events; ss curricular tool to develop per sonal and social development, and choice, helping them to find their to increase pupil voice with regard to global issues. The day was totally tailored to our needs, was hands on and practica l and was facilitated at just the right level to relax the staff as none of us felt like experts at the star t of the day. During the INSET day, time was give n for staff to examine our existing curr iculum map with a view to extendin g ideas and themes with a Global Lea rning twist. The day was just the catalyst we needed to develop a more creative curriculum which had Global Lea rning and citizenship at its heart and developed an enquiry base to lear ning across many subjects. One of the key differences for us was the eng agement shown by all the pupils whe n we learnt in this way. Audits on Glo bal Learning were carried out with the pupils to get a base line for their current understanding and learning and throughout the year literacy, art, dram a, geography, history, assemblies, music and even grammar homewo rk all picked up on global learning . In Februar y the pupils had a Global Learning day (led by CDEC) which was centred around equality and what it means to be fair. At the end of the day the pupils came up with several questions which they wanted to spend time more investiga ting. One was: What worries you about the futu re? This question was initially explore d through art with issues such as global warmin g, pollution, animal extinction and helping to protect the world. Year’s 5 and 6 then des igned and made sculptures using recy cling materials which represented their concerns for the world, whilst endangered anim als were researched in guided reading, protest songs written and performed in mus ic, animal patterns studied in art and explana tion texts written in literacy. Three pupils represented the school at a global learning conference called “Pupils Take Action” later on in the term where they mixed with pupils from all over Cumbria who shared how they were going to become better global citizens. On returning to scho ol the children made an action plan for the future called “Children Take Charge”, wro te an article in the school magazine, did a presen tation to the whole school , wrote to our monthly local area magazine and gave a pre sentation to the Governors so that funding could be delegated to this important area of learning. The journey has begun … the pupils are finding their voice and are lear ning how to use it wisely.

Zogg receives warm Cumbrian welcome! The World from Our Doorstep proj ect is in full swing and Zogg, our frien dly alien character, has been warmly welcomed by all of the project schools and nurseries! Zog g has joined in with activities such as tree planting, stor y-telling, scavenger hunts and junk mod elling with 3-8 years old earthlings from schools in Barr ow and Carlisle. Holy Family Catholic Primary School devoted an entire week to lear ning with Zogg, creating toys from rubb ish, role plays on the theme of ‘cooperation’, and philo sophy sessions on a ‘One World’ them e. Teachers are finding that Zogg can be a catalyst for developing positive attitudes and values in the children. For example at Raughton Head CE School, they are takin g it in turns to take him home, showing real motivati on to look after him well and be a good host, and lear ning important lessons in social awareness and empathy . The project has inspired teachers to make changes too, with the team at Inglewood Infan t School working together to integrate global learning throughout their curr iculum. Kingmoor Infant School recently took the opportunity to book CDEC for a ‘Creative Classrooms’ day with a World from Our Doorstep theme. Children experienced a whole day of activities on the theme of learning about and looking after our hom e on Planet Earth, before coming together for a whole school rendition of the Zog g Song! The day can be booked by any school or nursery to help kick start your global learning with Early Years and Infants. Contact us on 015 394 31602 We are moving into an especially exciting phase of the project as schools start to link up with local food producers and craftspeople to bring to life project themes of fairness and sustainability from a local perspective. We have a wide range of folk getting ready to share their work with young children and their parents, from farmers and bakers to coppice wor kers, wood carvers and spinners. This will give us a local pers pective to build on in the autumn when we start to look at Fairtrade issues through the eyes of The a the travelling teddy bear!
“the children were fascinat ed by Zogg and wer e really intere sted to share everythi ng they knew about our local envi ronment with hi m. It also seemed to bring hom e to them how im portant it is to lo ok after our own planet rather th an allow it to beco me like Zargo t.”
a bit “We’re all ally; re like Zogg ks a he just loo ” bit funny
uld all “I think we sho r to try much harde h other get on with eac es us because it mak smile more”
Barrow Young Researchers Our Young Researchers project with 10 Young Researchers from 5 Barrow primary schools for Inspiring Barrow reached a successful culmination before Easter. The group learned about research, devised their own questionnaire and collected data about the impact of Inspiring Barrow from 274 people. They attended an exciting residential weekend at The Kepplewray Centre in Broughton to interpret the data and to compile their findings before presenting back to the Inspiring Barrow Steering Committee at the end of March.

Go Global at Lakes school
The world is changing! The food we eat, new technology, changing weather patterns, the need for sustainable sources of energy to power our homes and lifestyles...all of these issues present unique challenges for future generations. CDEC has been working with the Lakes School to involve year 5 pupils from local primary schools in exploring the challenges of the future. More than 80 pupils from Year 5 arrived at the Lakes School on 22nd May, and took part in a range of short sessions looking at global issues, such as human rights, migration, Fairtrade, water, and the environment. Supported by a team of Young Global Leaders (current Year 7 students) they were then given the opportunity to give advice to Mr Cunningham, the Headteacher, on how they see Lakes School transforming to respond to future challenges.
