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.

European Day of Languages 2023
This year's European Day of Languages was a lot of fun for my pupils.
My younger classes chose different Talk to me! stickers and used the key to find out the name of the language used for the message. Then, they did a quick research, found out and wrote the name of the country and its capital city, and drew the country's flag. Finally, they showed the country on the map and read their findings.
Class 4 pupils also found some interesting facts about the country, including the currency and landmarks.
Class 3 pupils took part in the video survey about the importance of learning foreign languages.
Class 6 pupils enjoyed various language quizzes and sharing their opinion about what learning a language is to them in articles.

Welcome Back!
My Class 3 pupils have started a new adventure with this catchy song:
It's good to see you all again.
Welcome back!
Enjoy your English class again.
Welcome back!

And now 100, clap, clap, clap!
It's good to see you all again...

NQL 2023
Our eTwinning National Support Organisation has just awarded 161 international projects with Quality Labels. This school year, however, there were numerous problems with the new platform, but, I'm happy and proud to say that the projects I started and collaborated on with my pupils have received the Labels:
- eTwinWorld Travel Agency: The project is well-organized and possesses numerous positive attributes. Teachers collaborate effectively and efficiently coordinate activities. The organization of online meetings facilitates interaction among students, supported by teachers. Strong collaboration among students contributes to successful task integration. The project effectively integrates ICT tools, enhancing communication and the creation of innovative products. Educational objectives are well-defined and tailored to students' needs.
- Unlock the Magic!: The project is designed to connect students' interests with the outcomes of multiple subjects. Through various activities, students develop interest in reading, language skills and creativity. The project is carefully planned, managed and well documented. Cooperation between teachers is intensive and productive. Through collaboration, participants develop creative materials that can be used in teaching.
As usual, we've taken part in other projects as well, but, due to tech problems on the new platform, we've managed to do our best in these two.

Happy Holiday!
This school year has come to an abrupt end, 2 weeks earlier than planned. Still, we had just enough time to hear this lovely song about summer activities and try to sing along:
Let's go to the beach.
Let's look for shells.
Let's play in the sand.
Let's run hand in hand.
Happy holiday,
Happy holiday,
For you and me.
Let's take a photo.
Let's catch a fish.
Let's swim in the sea,
1, 2, 3!
Happy holiday...
