September is Roald Dahl's birth month, so I asked all eTwinners to join in the fun and celebrate it on 13 September! They shared their ideas in the padlet:
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. All the photos, videos and pupils' work are published with permission. All media are either original, free for use, or include credit to the source.

Magical World of Colours
One of the first tasks of the eTwinning project Magical World of Colours was to do some creative activities with yellow. My Class 5 students made yellow paper balloons and drew happy or sad faces, showing their feelings after a fortnight spent at school. Most of them also wore their yellow T-shirts on that day.

NQL 2018
This August, our National eTwinning service awarded 218 projects with Quality Labels. Four eTwinning projects I started and/or collaborated on won Quality Labels:
- World Book Day: The students were active in carrying
out tasks, which contributed to the development of their knowledge and
skills. It is positive that the teacher and students discussed the
content set by the partners and had a competitive quiz.
- Talking Second Graders: Project goals concerning the development of
language skills, the importance of learning foreign languages, and
communication and team work among students are in the most part
accomplished. The project met the criteria set for the National Quality
Label.
- Stories Behind Traditions: This is a good quality project. Students were
active and contributed to the project implementation, gained knowledge
of foreign traditions and improved knowledge of their own tradition,
learned to collaborate with foreign students and to use digital tools
for development of multimedia content.

World Book Day
In order to encourage children to explore the pleasures of books and improve reading skills, I decided to become a partner of a teacher from Scotland on the eTwinning project celebrating authors, illustrators, books and reading. Since 20 February, 27 other teachers from Italy, Poland, Greece, UK, Slovenia, Romania, Croatia, Slovakia, Finland, Spain and Turkey have joined us with their students and shared different interesting activities.
This is just a glimpse of what we've done at school:

Stories Behind Traditions
With a Romanian colleague, I started a project for 8-14-year-olds where they would share the information about their countries, hometowns, schools, culture and traditions. Since December, 13 other teachers from Italy, Greece, Poland, Turkey, Georgia and Portugal have joined the project and shared interesting videos, tasty recipes and lovely photos of their traditional costumes.
Class VI1 even had a Skype meeting with their peers from Lubny, Ukraine. Although we had some technical problems, they enjoyed it a lot:

Getting Closer
I've decided to make the best of a sunny spring day and encourage my Class 6 pupils to introduce themselves in a video which we later shared with our eTwinning friends:

Fun characters
The moment I found out about Cambridge's competition calling learners aged 6-12 to create a character, draw their house and write what they like or don't like, I decided to print the templates and share them with my imaginative and artistic younger students.

Winning designs will be turned into illustrations by real artists and the authors will use them in the stories.
