Description
Summary:John Galvin, a teacher at East Preston Junior School, takes us through a day of cross-curricular lessons on China. Today his class are making a television travel report in ICT as well as taking part in their own version of the Olympic Games in PE. John decided to focus on China because during the summer of 2008 the world's eyes were on Beijing for the Olympic Games. The children learnt about the country, history and culture, presenting their results in a video. In PE, John devised a range of events to reflect those taking place in China. He also came up with some alternatives for those who are less athletic. John won the 2007 Teaching Award for Enterprise in South East England. He feels that the support that he gets from his TAs and fellow teachers is key to the success of all the activities he does with the children.
