Classroom number 4

First of all, I'd like to welcome you to my blog. My intention's to make it a place for cherishing great memories of working with school children. Here you'll find some tips, projects done by my pupils, their essays and poems, video clips (I don't know if it's me, but my pupils really enjoy singing), and things that can be interesting and useful. All the photos, videos and pupils' work are published with permission. All media are either original, free for use, or include credit to the source.

Last Saturday

As a follow-up on our lesson about past activities, I've carried out a survey among my Class 4 pupils about where they were last Saturday, and here are the results:

Christmas 2023

Our last week before winter break started with online meeting with our Empatico friends from Italy and the visits of groups of pre-schoolers from different local kindergartens. Class 4 pupils prepared cards for their younger friends and sang their favourite songs in English, including the Rainbow Song, Do you like bananas? and Busy Week.

After the visits, both Class 3 and Class 4 pupils learned the traditional song about Christmas tree.

Class 4 pupils were also happy to sing some well-known songs about Father Christmas in Serbian and Hungarian, and say their favourite Christmas carols which we recorded and shared with our friends from different parts of the world.

A group of Class 4 girls also shared their New Year wishes and collaborated with their eTwinning friends on the poster by adding some snowflakes and Happy New Year in Cyrillic.

Class 3 pupils enjoyed designing their cards and snow globes which we later sent by post to our friends in Greece, Spain, Lithuania and New York.

Inspiring Museums

For somebody who enjoys visiting museums and finding out more about the history of a place, it came as a shock when I realised that a large number of my pupils rarely visit or have never visited a museum. That was one of the main reasons why I decided to join the Inspiring Museums eTwinning project.

After a short introduction and some ice-breaker online games on flags created and shared by all project partners, I asked my Class 4 and Class 6 pupils to create logos, and later Class 3 pupils voted for the best school and the project's logos.
