Pen Pals

Twin schools are encouraged to send letters to each other. In many cases this will need to be via the postal system as the majority of Sri Lankan schools do not have access to email facilities. The photograph illustrates letters that are about to be posted from a Tangalle school to a UK school. These are carefully decorated and illustrated with photographs, stickers and hand drawn graphics. The children eagerly await a reply!


Project work and pictures by pupils from schools in Sri Lanka, UK and overseas will appear here soon.

Twins Club

Twins Club is a time when a group of children, usually a group of 30, interested in English and widening their cultural knowledge get together for an hours session every fortnight. Twins Club either allotted school time or is held after school. The content of a Twins Club will be shaped by the teacher and field officer.

The Twins coordinators in each school liaise to identify a topic for Twins Club each term. The topic is usually one that appears in each school’s curriculum. The main objective of the Club is to prepare project work to send to school’s overseas Twin and to analyses and enjoy the work received from their Twin.

Twins Club strengthens the Twins relationship between schools, makes English learning fun for the Sri Lankan students, and provides a unique insight into another culture.
