Here’s an interesting slide presentation I found on SlideShare. Given the current concerns about world food shortages and rising prices, it seem more important than ever to consider the world’s food supply and how we can avoid people falling into famine and starvation.

Two of my colleagues head off to Nitte, near Mangalore, southern India tomorow. With British Coucil support we have set up an exchange agreement with a local school there, with a view to establishing curricular links. We also want to find out what life is like in India, and do some research into topics such as water management and rural settlement. Three of their staff visited Hutchesons’ last October and we had a great time sharing our ideas.

Here is a poster some of our pupils made up to say about about themselves and their interests. This will be presented to the children in India.
