Students created Flags

Students are to make albums in which they shall paste and colour flags of their neighbouring countries and whom they they play cricket with (UK, Australia etc). An assignment shall be prepared to match the countries with their flags.

Hand painting - Pupils shall paint flags on each others hands.

We hope they shall develop a sense of identity and become aware of the wider world's nations,their flags and their symbolic significance.

This could form part of your work for a project on the 2010 Football World Cup. Here is a link to the project page.
