My Class 1 students got very creative with the different things they found around our school and their homes. Some tried to stick the interesting leaves on a piece of paper, the others used leaf rubbing technique,...
More than 11300 projects received the European Quality Label on 27 October for their outstanding work. I am proud to say that six projects I collaborated on with my students are among them:
The students were divided into teams of 3-4. The students from one team took turns to set up the questions and prize on the grid. The students from another team chose one player who would be a 'robot'. They created an algorithm for their 'robot' to reach the prize. The 'robot' followed the verbal instructions given by the rest of the team, like 'Move forward', 'Turn right', or 'Turn left'. CodyRoby cards were used for the instructions. Thanks to unplugged cooperative games, Class 1 students listened to their peers' instructions, moved around the board on the ground, thought about the ways to solve environmental problems and help planet Earth, answered different questions about animals in danger, had fun and got familiarised with the principles of coding along the way.
Older students used Scratch to create educational games in English about endangered animals and our town's symbol - owls. Students learned how to use Scratch while creating a game and practised English along the way. Students of other classes, as well as our eTwinning friends, were given a chance to learn more about endangered animals and owls. Thanks to game design activities, Class 5 students developed their digital competences and improved their communication, collaboration, critical thinking and problem solving.
These coding activities can help students raise motivation and awareness in the learning process.
In the year of climate change and environmental challenges, different activities and projects have recently been presented in the book Teaching Climate Change with eTwinning. I am happy to say that one of the projects my students and I took part in, Green Kids, was featured in this book. I am proud of my students and grateful to all project partners for making a difference.
Three groups of my Class 1 students listened to the description of Pippi and this is how they imagined her.
We shared the video with our eTwinning friends on the project founded by the teachers from the Netherlands and Poland.
