"The students have thoroughly enjoyed putting the activities together," said Ms Watson. "As well as finding out information about the islands and researching the various activities, the students have also had to consider the learning objectives, outcomes and underlying educational outcomes whilst still making the activities fun and engaging."

Ms Beardsell, has been in overall control of the youth engagement project.

"We have been very impressed with the standard and quality of the work put together by the students," she said.

"The content has been well researched, and the activities are varied and interesting and cover a wide range of topics and subjects. When we ran a trial session at St Martin’s Primary School, it was great to see the interaction between students at the end of their school career with the younger ones who are just starting theirs. We have now made the activities available to all States’ primary schools, as well as sending out the information to the other member islands. It is a great way of reaching out to the wider community and engaging with the other islands."

Students Joseph May, Calum Preece, Caitlin Ferbrache, Amelie Carpentier, and Katie Baker (pictured top l-r) helped out.

Joseph helped to create an activity around the different islands' national anthems. 

"It was using English to form the anthems in the way they're originally written with the same context, how they're written and what they say about the island and the people who live there," he explained. 

Calum said his game was called 'Sinking Islands'.

"There were hula hoops on the floor with pictures of the islands flags. We would pick a name out of the hat and anyone in that group would be eliminated. By the end there's one hoop left and they're the winners."

Caitlin's game helped younger pupils learn how to say hello in the different member islands' languages.

"The children had to match up the island with the way they say hello," she said. "We had loads of different cards to match up."

Amelie helped design t-shirts.

"I designed a little t-shirt to go on a puffin - like Jet the mascot. It's for the children to colour in.

"They will each have a resource booklet with the different flags, animals and emblems for each country so they could incorporate some of those ideas into their design."

Katie played 'Splat Islands' with the children she worked with.

"There's one person in the middle and usually you'd say someone's name and if they don't duck quickly enough they're out as the two either side go splat," she explained.

"To incorporate the different islands into that, each child was given a name so, for example, if we say Guernsey then when we say Guernsey you need to duck. The last two people went through to a back-to-back round to find the winners.

"They really enjoyed that and said it was a really good way to learn the flags and which island they're associated with."
