Two groups of my Class 2 pupils have recently joined the Travelling Stories: The Journey of Our Special Friend eTwinning project, where they will meet new friends, learn about different countries, and share stories with children from across Europe.
As one of our first activities, we met Qilin, our special project friend who will travel with us throughout this journey. The children were excited to learn about Qilin and discover more about the project.
Working in groups, pupils coloured and cut out their Qilin masks. They enjoyed being creative and helping one another during the activity.
Later, they talked about how they would introduce themselves to their new friends from Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Türkiye. Together, they shared ideas and prepared short introductions to present themselves to their project partners.
These first activities helped pupils get to know the project, work together, and prepare for meeting their new European friends.
