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

European Day of Languages 2024
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.

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.
