NQL 2019

This July/August, our National eTwinning Support Service awarded 309 projects with Quality Labels. Nine projects I started and/or collaborated on with my students are among them:

- Family Matters: A wide-ranging project

- My Place: Project activities are presented and visible with the involvement of students through planning, evaluations, materials. All participants worked on common topics, that are presented in a transparent way.
- Professor Balthazar travels around Europe: 3rd grade elementary school learners were active participants in the project. They exchanged drawings, videos, postcards with their peers from Europe.
- Green Kids: A well-planned and well-executed project. Visible results and good dissemination.
- A Bridge Across the World: This is a fairly structured project, with a high level of pupil’s involvement and products, many of which by using ICT tools.
- Famous People in Europe: Huge project (84 teachers, 492 pupils), plenty of materials. Serious division of duties. A large number of results.
- European Day of Languages Celebration: The project shows good organization and planning, as well as dedication and involvement of the founder of the project. Strong points are collaboration and use of various ICT tools.
- A Funny School Year: It seems that the participants have enjoyed very much having chance to see how other schools organize similar events. That is the main benefit of this project.
- Hello, I am Charlie from London: A simple and well-designed project.

My Place

In December 2018 my students and I joined the eTwinning project aimed at enhancing the artistic, cultural, culinary and other beauties of European places. The students and their teachers from Italy, Greece, Moldova, Portugal, Albania, Turkey and Azerbaijan shared photos, posters and videos of their towns and countries with the others. It was a great opportunity to, once again, promote our town.

What's this?

Here's a song which helped my struggling students remember the names of school things. It was one of the first ones we learned this school year.

What's this? What's this?

It's a book. It's a book. It's a book.

A Funny School Year

My students and I joined the project A Funny School Year last June because we wanted to share some special moments of our school life with the students and their teachers from other European countries.

What's that?

When the school year is near the end, my students and I usually like flipping through our books and singing our favourite songs. 

This is one of the songs we learned earlier this school year. It is good for revising sea creatures and yes/no questions.

What's that? What's that?

Is it a seahorse? Is it a seahorse?

Yes, it is. Yes, it is.

What's that? What's that?

Is it a starfish? Is it a starfish? (a dolphin / a crab)

Yes, it is. Yes, it is.

What's that? What's that?

Is it a cat? No, it isn't.

Is it a turtle?

Yes, it is. Yes, it is.

Professor Balthazar cards

Four of my Class III2 students have decided to draw Professor Balthazar in Kikinda, so I later printed their drawings, let all the students sign those unique postcards and sent them to our eTwinning friends.

A Bridge Across the World

The eTwinning project A Bridge Across the World centred around the topic of cultural heritage, so my students and I found out more about the amazing European places and customs.

Both my younger and older students took part in different activities, such as the presentations of our school, town and country, sharing celebrations, or a quiz about the project countries.

We also held a Skype meeting with our Portuguese partners. The students had the opportunity to talk about their interests in English and sing songs to their peers.
