Welcome to Dandelion and Burdock's Web Site.
Dandelion and Burdock stearing the "Cutty Sark" on their London Adventure.
This site has a serious purpose - supporting the education of children by:
- encouraging them to write
- giving them opportunities to write for a wide audience
- providing them with material from peers to read
- developing Geographic skills
- practicing Web Skills
Two teachers have set up a transatlantic project. They each have a teddy bear; "Dandelion" and "Burdock" that stay with their classes. Each weekend a member of the class takes their bear on an adventure. The children write about the bear's adventure and the story is published on the web site. The children are encouraged to read each others stories and ask questions - my email about the adventures.
At regular intervals the bears meet together and change schools.
