Working together inspite of the distance
Teachers and students at North Harringay Primary have been working with Buccoo Government Primary School in Tobago. The Global School Partnership programme has funded visits between the two schools for the headteachers and is now supporting the schools to work on joint classroom-based projects.

The two schools are working together to learn about each other's lives and cultures, and explore the effects of climate change and water pollution on their local areas. They have studied the nearby reef and wetlands in Tobago, and the school's roof garden in Haringey, and are sharing the results of their research with their partners.

Helen Connor, Head Teacher from North Harringay Primary School said: "Learning about the reef in Tobago has made climate change very personal for our children.
