Teddy begins his travels in England. Children record information about the local history and geography of South Shields. The children will also write, take photographs and draw pictures of Christmas traditions in England in a book which will be sent alongside the teddy.

Teddy will then travel to Poland where the children will record information about the local history and geography, as well as pictures, information and photographs of Christmas traditions in Poland.

Teddy will then continue his journey to Spain and Turkey, where the children will complete the same activities. All of the schools will also have access to twinspace and will be able to see updates on the Harton Primary School website.

Teddy will return to England, visiting a school in Hartlepool and then finally returning to South Shields. 

Teddy will be given a list of addresses, on which the partner school must tick off their address. They will then also know where to send Teddy to next and on which date.
