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.

As usual, we celebrated this year's Safer Internet Day with our eTwinning friends.
Class 3 pupils recorded their voice saying the chosen e-safety rules as part of the eTwin World Travel Agency activity. They also wrote the rules on drawings using ToonyTool. Rule 8: Avoid suspicious online links! Rule 10: Be kind online! Rule 14: Don’t click on pop ups or ads on the Internet! Rule 16: If someone or something annoys you when you are online, tell your parents!
They also created a comic with Unlock the Magic! friends where one school shared a problem and another offered a solution:
While my Class 2 pupils enjoyed writing and colouring the chosen letters of the project name (E and N) using ScrapColoring, my Class 3 pupils found interesting adding and recording the lines starting with E (Excitement is in the air) and Y (You won't regret!) to the collaborative poem by the members of the eTwin World Travel Agency project:

One of the first activities of the eTwinning project And the Oscar goes to...! started with a teacher from Spain was logo creation. As usual, my older pupils enjoyed it a lot.
We've also collaborated with our partners from Spain on the online quiz about Oscar winners.
I've encouraged my Class 7 pupils to share their ideas on the future of education and skills, as a part of the global research on transforming education (SDG 4) organised by UNESCO, UNICEF and World's Largest Lesson.
Over 37,000 pupils from 150 countries completed the game-like survey and received their certificates. The report, which can be accessed here, shows that, among other things, the children are happy to be back at school after pandemic, want to learn more practical skills for the real world, and how to look after their mental health and protect our planet.
In their chosen groups, my Class 7 pupils have discussed the advantages and disadvantages of keeping wild animals in zoos or as pets, of cloning animals, and using animals to test medicines and cosmetics.
We've also organised debates where one group expressed their arguments for and another their arguments against.
