Everything is green and there are a lot of flowers. I love walking in the park with my friends.
In the spring, I can wear T-shirts, trainers and shirts.

Family Matters

With a colleague from Greece, I started a project for 6-12-year-olds where they would explore their family relationships, using photographs, interviewing older family members, and things like that. Since February, the teachers from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Lithuania, North Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Spain, Turkey, UK and Ukraine have joined the project, and shared the activities done with their students. 

Even my older students enjoyed the Kahoot quiz about family members.

In all gardens

One of the tasks of our eTwinning project A Bridge Across the World was to record a poem by Sophia de Mello Breyner and share the video with our partners. A few girls from my  Class VIII1 agreed to read the poem and in this way mark the centenary of the poet's birthday.

Day of Forests

My Class 3 students, participants of the Green Kids eTwinning project, created a story about trees and named it The Magic Tree. They improved their writing, drawing and creative skills along the way. The story is now in the joint storybook on StoryJumper.
