Italian-Polish cooperation

We are very glad to welcome our guest from Italy - Ombretta Tambini. She is a student from Montessori School who is writing her dissertation about English teaching methods in our school. She is visiting classes, learning about CLIL, Lego, Dalton Method and others. Sometimes she is also taking part in the lessons.

Welcome and have a fruitful staying:)

CLIL&Lego

This year we have started teaching with Lego on regular basis. Our students of second and third grade have Lego lessons every week where they learn maths, science social skills, storytelling and all sorts of new skills through Lego and English. Here is a short film from some lessons:

"Little Citizens of Modern Europe"

As you all know, our school is taking part in another Erasmus+ AK1 project "Little Citizens of Modern Europe". We sahred this idea with you on Whatsapp and during our project meeting in Italy. Our teachers are taking part in English languge and methodological courses in order to change the way of their teaching, make it more innovative and help our school become a really European one:)
In August and October we took part in courses in Malta and we have some new and fresh ideas to make our lessons more cultural and interesting.
We will share them with you soon.

Greetings from Malta....

Pupils in Ynystawe School Learning about Salamanca

Our Year 6 pupils and Maide created some posters about Salamanca and our School to keep in touch with the pupils in the other 5 schools. As I went to Ynystawe Primary School for the KA1, I took one of the posters with me.

I worked with a group of pupils from Year 5 and 6 there at Ynystawe. I showed them the poster and some leaflets from Salamanca so that they know a bit more about it.

They were researching with their Ipads and the leflets to find the answers to these questions:

They also found out many other things for example that in Salamanca there aren't many big parks but that there are a lot of pools and historical buildings.

They were having a look at the city with Google maps, street view.

 

Then, I asked them to make a similar poster about their school and their city so that I can take it back to Spain. We will show you the result when I take it to Salamanca!

Here you have the link to the post which shows another poster in Italy.

And the link to the post where you can see the poster on the Erasmus + Corner in Ynystawe School:

Brand new Erasmus+ corner in Ynystawe

During my Job Shadowing in Ynystawe Primary School, I have created this display which includes nice works done by pupils from Salamanca, Clermont Ferrand and Swansea. I will create a similar one back in Salamanca so we will be looking forward to get your posters, letters or anything you feel like your pupils can do to go in there.

 

Thanks to Helen for letting me do this at the hall of the school.
