In teams, my advanced Class 4 pupils have designed their own learning spaces of the future using bricks of different colours, shapes and sizes.
In the future, the children will use a flying taxi and pass through a large portal to get to a building which looks like a rocket. It is divided into different spaces where the children can learn what they want to. The rocket uses solar and wind powers. There is a river and a bridge close by, and the children can cross it to explore the nature. They can also board a plane to explore the world from above and rescue animals if needed.
With a colleague of mine, I've recently carried out some of the activities I created with colleagues from Poland and Portugal in the Edu-Hackathon with Google training course in Brussels, Belgium, in December 2022.
We started the first in the series of lessons with the warm-up and brainstorming activities. The pupils were introduced to the topic, discussed climate issues and completed the online survey. Then, five teams were formed according to the main issues they had suggested: air pollution, water pollution, deforestation, endangered animals, and acid rain.
The teams were ready for their next stage - active involvement. They decided on the name of their team and on the roles of each member. I presented them with a selection of resources and digital tools they could use to create their final products. I also showed them my pupils' examples of various forms on environmental issues, such as infographics, e-books, presentations and games which helped the teams decide on the form of their final product, too.
All the teams agreed on creating presentations in Canva.
After two weeks, during which they shared their presentations with their teacher and me so that I could create an escape room game with their quiz questions, we organised the showcase stage. Several teachers came as well.
I set the timer, and the representatives of each team presented their work. After the last presentation, in their teams, the pupils played the escape room game and checked how much they had learned.
In the wrap-up stage, I asked the pupils to complete the first survey once again and evaluate all the activities too, but I also asked the present teachers to do another survey, with rubrics, and help us choose the best presentation which would be our representative in the international competition and public online show and tell.
My Class 3 pupils already know about different animal families and their features, but now they can talk about them in English as well.
In their teams, they've presented mammals, birds, reptiles and insects.
Think of a holiday destination in our country. Prepare an advert for it.
Don't forget to include:
My Class 3 pupils enjoy working on projects in teams, so it's no wonder they've accepted my suggestion to team up and present different habitats using colourful collages. I've let them choose their own teams which, in most cases, turned out right.
My Class 6 pupils have been busy these days doing research with their peers from 6 other European countries as part of the We learn together, we grow together eTwinning project.
Various digital games and creative activities have marked this year's Hallowe'en.
Class 3 pupils liked learning a new song with bingo and making strange creatures with their cut-outs.
Class 4 pupils had fun playing quizzes and writing haiku poems in teams, using the matching words from their bingo grids.
