Christmas  is a very important celebration all over the world, bringing families and friends together.

Last Christmas, we had the opportunity to participate in a  wonderful Etwinning Project with two schools, one in Portugal and the other in Poland.

We exchanged Christmas cards that we made out of some recycled materials which students found in their homes and at school.

Our students wrote a Christmas message in English and Catalan and our pen pals did the same but in Portuguese and in Polish.

Furthermore, as the Christmas cards were made from recycled materials, hopefully this  made the students more aware of the importance of recycling and that something wonderful can be made out of  trash.

As teachers, we wanted to emphasize that no action is too small when it comes to the importance of taking care of our planet.

We would like to thank the students in Portugal and Poland,  and most of all,  Lucia, the teacher in Portugal and Edyta and Miroslawa the teachers in Poland.

It was an amazing experience because we shared Christmas greetings with people who live so far away from us and in the process learned a little bit more about their cultures and traditions.  Furthermore,  now we know exactly where Portugal and Poland are!!!

We were also awarded “THE  ETWINNING LABEL CERTIFICATE” and we are so happy about that.

Below you can see some photographs of the project in progress and the Christmas cards we sent and the ones we received.
