We as the Global Dimension Partnership are now actively planning for the next Gambia study visit (19-26 November) and working with busy teachers is sometimes very difficult. Last week we were fully booked with 16 places, now two have had to drop out and we are looking around for eager participants.
As this is going on re-seller sales for our Locality Resources Packs are going from strength to strength. The African Locality Resources pack is the most popular but people are buying the China and India Resources Packs and the Amazonian Rainforest Pack is a close second to the African one.
And at the same time we are deep into the update of the LCP Geography Files; the publishers said update, but it is more of a re-write to keep pace with the demands of the new primary gerography curriculum.
Nevertheless we recognise that our primary teachers colleagues are in danger of burn out as they face the new Primary Curriculum, universal free school meals, and the new arrangements for SEND (Special Education Needs and Disability). A frantic week in THe Gambia in November might be a great antidote.
