My Class 3 pupils have started a new adventure with this catchy song:
It's good to see you all again.
Welcome back!
Enjoy your English class again.
Welcome back!
10, 20, 30, snap,
40, 50, 60, tap,
70, 80, 90, slap,
It's good to see you all again.
11, 22, 33, snap,
44, 55, 66, tap,
77, 88, 99, slap,
And now 100, clap, clap, clap!
It's good to see you all again...
Our eTwinning National Support Organisation has just awarded 161 international projects with Quality Labels. This school year, however, there were numerous problems with the new platform, but, I'm happy and proud to say that the projects I started and collaborated on with my pupils have received the Labels:
- eTwinWorld Travel Agency: The project is well-organized and possesses numerous positive attributes. Teachers collaborate effectively and efficiently coordinate activities. The organization of online meetings facilitates interaction among students, supported by teachers. Strong collaboration among students contributes to successful task integration. The project effectively integrates ICT tools, enhancing communication and the creation of innovative products. Educational objectives are well-defined and tailored to students' needs.
- Unlock the Magic!: The project is designed to connect students' interests with the outcomes of multiple subjects. Through various activities, students develop interest in reading, language skills and creativity. The project is carefully planned, managed and well documented. Cooperation between teachers is intensive and productive. Through collaboration, participants develop creative materials that can be used in teaching.
As usual, we've taken part in other projects as well, but, due to tech problems on the new platform, we've managed to do our best in these two.
Two groups of my Class 5 boys have joined over 1,000 pupils from 25 countries in this year's OUP International Project Competition and designed their wellbeing superheroes.

The European Quality Labels for the projects carried out during the 2021/22 school year were finally awarded on 12 June 2023. I'm proud to say that four projects my pupils and I collaborated on are among them:
This school year has come to an abrupt end, 2 weeks earlier than planned. Still, we had just enough time to hear this lovely song about summer activities and try to sing along:
Let's go to the beach.
Let's look for shells.
Let's play in the sand.
Let's run hand in hand.
Happy holiday,
Happy holiday,
For you and me.
Let's take a photo.
Let's catch a fish.
Let's swim in the sea,
1, 2, 3!
Happy holiday...
My younger and older pupils have recently been to trips round Serbia, so we've decided to share their impressions and add their photos to the collaborative album of postcards sent to the eTwin World Travel Agency by their satisfied customers.
When I introduced my Class 3 pupils to the idea of creating a chain story in English, they simply loved it. They were all eager to share their creative ideas and type them into the joint collaborative e-book we started with our friends from Lithuania.
We even scheduled an online meeting because we wanted to read and listen to each others' stories and play an escape room game together, but some tech problems prevented us from joining our friends. However, we played the game and our friends promised to do the same.
As for the stories, I have to say that they're pretty amazing. We can't wait to hear what the others think!
