Europe Day

All classes of our school joined themselves in the middle of the playground to celebrate the european day.
Young and older pupils realized a big sign about a member of the european union.
Dressed with a bue TEE shirt on which IT was written "bonjour " in all different languages , they marched to stand around the european flag.
A very deep moment full of symbol.

Transnational meeting Gera (Germany)

From the 6th till the 12th of May the last transnational meeting took place in Gera in Germany. 15 guests from Wales, Poland, France, Spain and Italy visited the "Erich Kästner" primary school in Gera.

We met our guests at Leipzig.

On Monday they visited our classes and did some little activities in ther mother tongue with them.
The childrens loved it.

On Tuesday was "European day" and  we were at the State Chancellery and the European Information Centre in Erfurt. 

On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday we were back at school, visited lessons, visited a secondary school and a kindergarden and held some project meetings. The highlight was the schoolfestival at wednesday in the afternoon. Each delegation presented their country and did some little activities with our pupils.

Thank you so much for your work during this week!!! 

Europe day and our Erasmus project on the news

Our students were completely involved in Europe day from Pre-primary to Secondary school.

 Pages on the newspapers about our activities and Erasmus project:

A good opportunity for dissemination.

Traditional Polish costume

The children in Wales have been learning about Poland. They have enjoyed trying on traditional Polish clothes!

 

 

 

Looking forward to meeting in Poland

All schools in our project are hard working. Especially the European Day last week was a highlight in teaching our children in the European ideas.
We also did different activities. We also bought an Europe carpet to show the boys and girls the places our six schools are located. We've seen it in the Italian posts.

We've also received greetings, posters postcards from Italy, Spain and Wales. Thank you very much. The children are highly interested in looking at them and also the envelopes.

 Thank you friends!

Today we've put all our schools posters and childrens postcards together. We've already told you, that we are taking these with us to Bialystok. Look here:

5 posters and 250 postcards
