Hello!

We finally found all the cities and monuments using Google Earth. It was a very interesting experience because we had to learn how to properly enter the coordinates. Once we found the 12 different places, we used a spinning wheel to decide which place would get each group. This is the final result:

List of places and/or monuments:

1- Messolonghi, 1826 (Greece) Group 2

2- Toruń, 1473 (Poland) Group 1

3- El cul de la lleona, twelfth century AD  (Girona) Group 7

4- Varaždin, 1776 (Croatia) Group 12

5- Grunwald, 1410 (Poland) Group 4

6- Nafplio, 1827 (Greece) Group 3

7- La Sagrada Família (1882) (Girona) Group 5

8- Roman Amphitheatre, first and second century AD (Caldes de Malavella) Group 11

9- Panathenaic Stadium, 1896 (Greece) Group 10

10- Warsaw, 3rd May 1791 (Poland) Group 6

11- Diocletian’s Palace, 300 AD (Croatia) Group 9

12- Roman thermal baths, first century AD (Caldes de Malavella) Group 8

Then each group started researching general information about the city or monument, how people lived in that era, what they ate, what they wore, what music they listened to, and many more interesting things. We keep learning a lot!

Hi again! This month we have been working on different activities: we had to choose a name for our international group, and it had to be an object or an item related to history or archaeology. So we had to be original! Once we had decided what name we liked, the teachers created a poll with the different options, and we had to vote our favourite one. We will soon get the results!

The other activity was about coordinates. We learnt what latitude, longitude, the Equator and the Prime Meridian are. We also learnt how to use Google Earth. Right now we are trying to find some places and monuments all around Europe using this tool. We just love it!

Hello! We came back from the holidays full of energy! We played a quiz about our schools, and with the correct questions, we got the numbers for a code to open a safe and win the quiz. Then we went to the Forum and each of us wrote about what we liked the most about the other schools. It was a nice writing activity. And we watched a video about eSafety and Netiquette to make sure we use the Internet correctly. We talked about it and decided on the right things to do.

Hello!

This month we have been doing several activities for our eTwinning project:  we recorded a video where we described different parts of our school, we wrote 5 questions about the video for a breakout, we guessed the name of our project through an online game, we recorded a video where we introduced ourselves and we played the breakout about the different schools.

Hello! This new school year has started full of surprises! The first one was a video conference with our partners from Greece. We didn’t know who they were so we had to guess where they were from by asking them questions about their country and city. The second surprise came with another video conference with our Polish partners. Again, we didn’t know who we were talking to. We had a lot of fun and we got a lot of oral practice. We couldn’t meet the other partners, but we know that we are also working with another Catalan school and a school from Croatia.

The next thing we did was to start writing a presentation to show our school to our international partners. With those scripts, we are going to record short videos (English classroom, music classroom, etc.). Then, we are going to prepare some questions for a quiz. We are going to enjoy it very much!
