Magical Meeting

 One day before the start of the winter holiday we organised an online meeting with our friends from Lithuania, Poland and Turkey. We shared our Christmas chants and poems, and sang We wish you a merry Christmas together. It was a lot of fun!

Christmas 2022

With their chosen partners, my Class 2 pupils enjoyed creating cards for our eTwinning and Empatico friends.

They also sang a well-known Serbian song about Father Christmas which we later shared with our eTwinning friends in the STEAM with Fairy Tales project.

All my pupils had fun decorating their digital Christmas tree. 

My older pupils collaborated on the New Year card with the other eTwinWorld Travel Agents.

eTwinWorld Travel Agency

Giving our pupils a chance to act like entrepreneurs, 'create' their own travel agency and plan trips for travelers, and learn about different countries and cultures along the way were some of the reasons why I decided to join the schools from Croatia, Greece, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Turkey, Ukraine in the eTwinWorld Travel Agency project.

After our introductions and some collaborative ice breaker games, the pupils created the characters and mascots, suggested and voted for the names of the agency's owners and slogans, designed and voted for the logos they liked, created and voted for the intro video they liked, brainstormed on their favourite destinations, and also checked out the creative works of the others.

All about us

I've recently introduced my Class 3 pupils to several free avatar creator apps. 

They  tried them and chose the best in their opinion. Later, they also chose a lovely Canva template to introduce themselves.

Hansel and Gretel

 My Class 2 pupils have recently accepted the challenge of their younger friends from a Greek kindergarten and added a few details to the collaborative online drawing.

After a quick poll about their favourite number, they've chosen the next collaborator.

Thanksgiving Day 2022

We started the lesson by watching the presentation our American friends had shared with us. We admired their creative works of art with colourful autumn leaves and pine cones.

Then, we talked about the people and things that make our lives more beautiful, so I asked my pupils to draw their hand and use each finger to write who or what they're thankful for. Later, we transformed each hand print into a turkey. It was interesting to hear their thoughts.

 

Fantastic Creatures

We've recently revised the names of different wild animals and body parts, so I asked my Class 3 pupils to use their imagination and create some fantastic creatures. Here's the result:

We've shared the video and the presentation with our friends from the Unlock the Magic! eTwinning project.
