Meet me

 I've introduced my Class 4 pupils to easy avatar making website, so they quickly created their digital characters, downloaded and used them to introduce themselves to their eTwinning friends. They reviewed the parts of the head, used their creativity, practised writing and digital skills, and had fun along the way.

Favourite Characters

 Pikachu, Ninja Turtles and Sponge Bob are just some of the cartoon characters this generation of Class 1 pupils loves.

Finger Family

 Learning family members with finger puppets and a catchy tune can be a lot of fun.

European Day of Languages 2024

This year's celebration of languages was packed with various activities.

My Class 1 pupils sang the If you're happy song in Serbian to their eTwinning friends and learned a few basic words in their languages.

My Class 4 pupils received the Talk to me stickers, used the key to find out the languages, and tried to find the countries on the map. 

They also recorded video messages for their eTwinning friends.

Divided into 6 mixed teams of 3, my Class 5 pupils took part in fun quizzes about languages. Their task was to listen to 5 different people talking and guess the languages in a game called Look who's talking!, recognise fun facts in the general knowledge quiz, or choose a category and answer some trivia questions. A few volunteers said a few sentences in Romani, Spanish, German and Japanese and the others guessed the languages. We also sang a well-known song If you're happy in English. 

They also took part in the brainstorming activity with our eTwinning friends and shared their favourite L1 words.

As usual, the activity is part of the Council of Europe's Event Calendar.

Colours in Nature

 My Class 1 pupils loved exploring colours in nature through a song and drawing activity! 

We started by talking about the colours they see around them—like green trees, blue skies, and yellow flowers. Then each child shared their favourite colour and drew something they imagined in that colour.

We repeated the colour words in English, sang the colour songs they had learned in our lessons, and a few volunteers proudly presented their drawings to the class.

Hello!

A lot of new faces, but an old introduction song, older than they are. My new generation of Class 1 pupils also enjoys singing it.

NQL 2024

Our eTwinning National Support Organisation has just awarded 239 international projects with Quality Labels. I'm happy and proud to say that the projects I collaborated on with my pupils have received the National Quality Labels:

• We Learn Together, We Grow Together: a very beautiful and inspiring example of how students can develop their skills and expand their horizons through different topics. By collaborating on creative tasks like a virtual dinner for underprivileged children, students improved their social skills, learned important lessons about empathy, tolerance and respect, and became more aware of the importance of cultural heritage. This project enabled students to build values that will surely have a lasting impact on their personal and social lives.
• Inspiring Museums: a wonderful way for students to explore the importance of museums in different cultures. Through cooperation with students and teachers from different European countries, students improved their language, ICT and social skills, as well as other 21st century skills, through various creative activities, using different ICT tools.
