Wannakam Photobank

In 2011 a pack of resources called Wannakam was created to share materials with schools about Cambridgeshire's link with Vellore.  These materials are referenced in the KS2 unit "What is it like to be a Christian in Vellore?" 
​Below are the materials from the Photobank and below these some information / activity sheets.  Each pdf consists of a photograph and information / question sheet.  The photographs should be of good enough quality to use on an interactive whiteboard.
Please note that some of the resources indicate that schooling is only compulsory in India up to the age of 10 - since this pack was created the school leaving age has been raised to 14.  Also, some photographs show Bishop William, the previous Bishop in Vellore - the current bishop is Bishop Rajavelu.
