Introduction /Supplementary Resources /Credits
Welcome to the 9th edition of the Global Eye Primary website. Global Eye Primary was launched in September 2000 to complement the Global Eye magazine and website for secondary schools. The eight previous editions of Global Eye Primary are still on-line in the 'Back Issue Archive' section of the website.
The aim of Global Eye Primary is to provide interesting, well-illustrated and interactive material about global issues to tie in with UK primary curriculum requirements.
Three characters, Harry, Cecile and Jack (a parrot) guide pupils around the website, answering their questions and challenging them to think about a variety of global issues.
Each section of the website uses interactive features, key questions and photos to break down the issues covered into manageable chunks. The sections of Global Eye Primary are:
Eye on a specific case study of a country (or region) including maps, diagrams, tables, a variety of photographs and a data file.
Focus on looks at a development issue and uses case studies to show how it affects people in different places.
On Camera images from locations around the world with accompanying questions and activities for pupils.
Competitions quizzes and prize-winning competitions for individual pupils and group projects.
