It was a wonderful opportunity to put literacy into context as the children had to think of the target audience and the image the company wanted to convey. On their own websites, children will often use outlandish motifs and colours, but they soon learn they can’t do this for a company or another organisation.
Subsequently, pupils have worked with other organisations, including the Cornwall Heritage Trust, to make websites for them. Often what ultimately appears is not exactly what the children devised but their input is obvious and they certainly kick-started the project.
If we came across another company that was prepared to come and talk to the pupils, we would work with them. It doesn’t have to be a big company, it could be a shop, for example.
