Last April,
some teachers from CEIP Jose Antonio went to the second meeting related to the
project which took place in Nowe Slupia, in Poland. Some teachers from the
countries which take part in the project went there: Finland, which is the
coordinator of the project, Croatia, Ireland, Greece, Spain and Poland, which
was the host of the meeting.
Some
activities were done such as visits to the classroom, where the teachers saw
some tasks related to the project and talked about some future activities.
The first
day, they did an opening ceremony with some authorities where they told their
function within the school. The pupils had prepared some performances such as
dances, the hymn of the project and plays in English.
After that,
they did a visit in the school from the first levels to the highest levels. They
could see the materials that the students used, as well as the methodology
employed.
During the
meetings, they could see the work that the other schools had done and talked
about future activities. In the meetings, they valued positively the
conversations that the children from the different countries had by skype, and
they agreed to continue doing at least two per year. They also presented some
murals from our 6th grade students about volleyball and indiaca.
The host
school prepared some activities that we could see and in which they did
different tasks such as Maths activities to work with fractions, artistic
activities in which they created a logo with different materials, and a tongue
twister in Polish.
Finally,
they did a Treasure hunt in the village. The groups were made by some students
and 3 teachers from different countries, and they must work in a cooperative
way to find some hints and solve the tasks related to the Olympic Games. The
goal was to create the title of the project and find the treasure. Besides of
that, the children had an added difficulty: the only way they had to talk to us
was in English.
