The Rosetta Stone

"The Rosetta Stone" is the new etwinning partnership of Pentapolis Senior Highschool undertaken in collaboration with King Edward VI College (UK).

It has been designed by the BBC Worldclass to work in conjuction with the History of the World in 100 Objects Series of the British Museum.

Students will learn more about what is involved in becoming active citizens, they will discuss the topic of the repatriation of the Rosetta Stone and other famous exhibits of the British Museum (such as the Parthenon Sculptures) as well as reflecting on what objects best represent their own culture. Furthermore their language and ICT skills will be enhanced and a team spirit will hopefully be created and developed.

The final story, produced by the students, can be found in the following address:
