Year 7 and Njedza Primary School

In the last academic year, pupils at Coopers' Coborn have been sending letters, cards and information about their lives. In response the pupils at Njedza send us a package with lots of photos and pupil work. It gave the year 7s a 'real' insight into the unit of work they were studying. Below are some examples of the work and photos recieved:

Many of the year 7 pupils at Coopers' Coborn were surprised at how many similarites they found with pupils at the link school, such as the TV shows they watched, the subjects they studied and the hobbies they had.



Njedza Primary School

Njedza Primary School is located in Mulanje, a town in the Southern region of the country. The school is located in the foothills of the Mulanje Mountains. The school has just over 1900 pupils and 40 teachers. The school and 3 main aims for this academic year:

- To support education for girls
- Build more classrooms to avoid overcrowding
- Improve communication with its link school (that's us!)

A part of Njedza Primary School 

In October 2012, I am going to be travelling to Mulanje, Malawi to visit The Coopers' Company and Coborn School's link school. The aim of the trip is to develop our ties with Njedza Primary School. The Geography Department have taught a unit of work called 'Malawi - closer than you think!' to year seven students for many years, and the trip will enable us to develop a new set of resources and lesson plans incorporating our new link school.

This aim of this blog is to provide information about Malawi and will follow my journey to Njedza Primary School.
