NQL 2018

This August, our National eTwinning service awarded 218 projects with Quality Labels. Four eTwinning projects I started and/or collaborated on won Quality Labels:

- World Book Day: The students were active in carrying out tasks, which contributed to the development of their knowledge and skills. It is positive that the teacher and students discussed the content set by the partners and had a competitive quiz.  

- Talking Second Graders: Project goals concerning the development of language skills, the importance of learning foreign languages, and communication and team work among students are in the most part accomplished. The project met the criteria set for the National Quality Label.
- Stories Behind Traditions: This is a good quality project. Students were active and contributed to the project implementation, gained knowledge of foreign traditions and improved knowledge of their own tradition, learned to collaborate with foreign students and to use digital tools for development of multimedia content.
- Amazing Animals: The project is an example of good practice in the use of various web tools in the process of the implementation of project activities and English language lessons.

World Book Day

In order to  encourage children to explore the pleasures of books and improve reading skills, I decided to become a partner of a teacher from Scotland on the eTwinning project celebrating authors, illustrators, books and reading. Since 20 February, 27 other teachers from Italy, Poland, Greece, UK, Slovenia, Romania, Croatia, Slovakia, Finland, Spain and Turkey have joined us with their students and shared different interesting activities.

This is just a glimpse of what we've done at school:

Our final activity was playing a Kahoot game:

Stories Behind Traditions

With a Romanian colleague, I started a project for 8-14-year-olds where they would share the information about their countries, hometowns, schools, culture and traditions. Since December, 13 other teachers from Italy, Greece, Poland, Turkey, Georgia and Portugal have joined the project and shared interesting videos, tasty recipes and lovely photos of their traditional costumes.

Class VI1 even had a Skype meeting with their peers from Lubny, Ukraine. Although we had some technical problems, they enjoyed it a lot:

Getting Closer

I've decided to make the best of a sunny spring day and encourage my Class 6 pupils to introduce themselves in a video which we later shared with our eTwinning friends:

Fun characters

The moment I found out about Cambridge's competition calling learners aged 6-12 to create a character, draw their house and write what they like or don't like, I decided to print the templates and share them with my imaginative and artistic younger students.

Winning designs will be turned into illustrations by real artists and the authors will use them in the stories.

Story Competition

Two of my older students have taken part in the Cambridge Story Competition. They wrote and illustrated their stories hoping that they will be published online or in a book and shared with the children around the world.

Happy birthday!

Children like celebrating their birthdays, mostly because of the party and presents. With the children from Bulgaria and ex-Yugoslavia republics, my Class II1 joined the eTwinning project and made some birthday cards, sang songs and played different games.

I've even created an app for everyone to learn and/or revise birthday vocabulary.
