From the 10th to the 14th of June, 22 students of bachillerato have travelled to Gütersloh in Germany, on an Erasmus+ visit to the Anne-Frank School. As well as learning a new educational system, the students have had the chance to know more the cultural heritage of that country, visiting interesting places such as Cologne, World Heritage or Münster. It has been a wonderful experience and a learning opportunity. Visit the webpage to learn more:  https://new.express.adobe.com/webpage/DGVMQe3yBL1PO  

 Schools from Germany, Ireland and Spain have met together online for the first time to get to know each other and organise the international teams that will be working on different aspects of the European Cultural Heritage. It has been a wonderful experience

  Our poster and logo for the project European Cultural Heritage has been uploaded to the twinspace, good work!!

 EUROPEAN CULTURAL HERITAGE: LEARNING FROM THE PAST,  SHARING THE PRESENT AND BUILDING THE FUTURE is the title of the new eTwinning project, linked to our Erasmus+ project, in which several 4th of ESO students are involved at the moment. After a meeting with the organiser, a German school, and the Irish partner, we have begun working, introducing ourselves and designing the logo and poster for the common project.

 Yesterday, the group of students and teachers working together in this e-Twinning project, met for the last time this school year to close up the work done together.  After listening to some of the songs we had sung, students commented on what they thought about this time sharing knowledge, culture and work together. Both students and teachers agreed that it has been a wonderful experience and our leader, Aytül Gürdamar, the Turkish teacher, has made it easy for all of us to complete the tasks we had aimed at since the beginning of the school year.

These weeks our students are finding out about olive trees and olive oil: meaning, importance in our countries, traditions related to these elements. Together they are sharing their findings with our colleagues from the Italy and Greece. Using a tool called Padlet, they can write and read what others have shared with them. Here you can see an example of what they are doing.

 This time, our third year students of ESO have joined the adventure together with schools from Italy and Greece. In this first stage, they are getting to know each other by introducing themselves and their avatar to the rest using the app PADLET.

 Once again, we've met online with our partners in the project "Differences Bring Us Together". This time we have played a Kahoot game about the videos we elaborated of our cities.

 Third meeting of our European project. This time we have watched together the videos we prepared of our schools. Different countries, same concern about education. Classrooms full of students eager to learn.  And great teams preparing these fantastic videos. 

 Again, another activity related to the eTwinning project "Differences Bring us Together". This time, our students have prepared a video to present our beautiful town to the rest of the European partners working with us. It's worth a visit.

 One of the activities of the eTwinning project "Differences Bring us Together" has been the presentation of our schools to the rest of the participating members. Here is the fabulous video our 4th of ESO students have prepared. 

We have found a new project to work with our 3rd of ESO students. This time the project is called "Olive Wreath" and is being organised by a Greek school, remembering the original symbol of the Olympic Games. Greece, Italy and Turkey will be our partners in the new project which will be starting very soon. Up to now, 15 students from 3rd ESO have decided to join in. Well done!!

  A new online meeting of our eTwinning project, "Differences Bring Us Together" has been held today. Students and teachers from the eight participating schools have joined to play a "get to know you wheel" in which, in turns, they have answered different questions the project leader has asked them. Una nueva reunión online de nuestro proyecto eTwinning "Differences Bring Us Together" ha tenido lugar hoy. Tanto profesores como estudiantes de los ocho institutos participantes se han unido para charlar sobre sí mismos mediante un divertido juego propuesto por la coordinadora del proyecto.

  These past weeks we have been designing the poster, logo and slogan that will represent our school in the project. Next week, we'll vote for the winning ones. Good luck, team! Estas últimas semanas hemos estado trabajando digitalmente para elaborar un póster, un logo y un slogan que represente a nuestro instituto en el proyecto. La próxima semana se hará la votación para elegir el póster, logo y slogan que nos representará a todos. ¡Suerte equipo!                                                         The poster was designed by María, a student from 4 ESO A. The logo was designed by Paula (4 ESO A). It contains the flags of the five countries involved in the project: Turkey, Italy, Germany, Poland, Portugal and Spain.    There were several slogans, but our students voted for this one, which was created by Martina (4 ESO A)

  This evening we have had the opportunity to meet some of the teachers and students we will be collaborating with in the project "Differences Bring Us Together". After playing a Kahoot! game with questions about the six countries involved, some of students introduced themselves. A great experience for us all!! Esta tarde hemos tenido la oportunidad de conocer a las profesoras y algunos de los estudiantes con los que estamos colaborando en el proyecto "Differences Bring Us Together". Después de jugar a un Kahoot! con preguntas sobre los seis países implicados, algunos de los estudiantes se presentaron al resto.

  Some students have prepared their introductions to post on the e-Twinning space. They've had some fun creating their own avatar. Algunos alumnos/as del proyecto ya han preparado sus presentaciones para publicarlas en la plataforma europea e-Twinning. También se han divertido creando su propio avatar.

  Working with European partners helps students open up their minds to new cultures and experiences,  learning from others while improving their communication skills in a foreign language.

  We are starting a new eTwinning project this year with our 4th of ESO students. There are six European countries involved: Turkey (founder), Italy (co-founder), Germany, Poland, Portugal and Spain. It is a known fact that a person belonging to one culture has always been curious about people from other cultures. Especially in our schools, many of our students have a limited life space, and most of them have no opportunity to go out of the places where they live and meet new people and cultures. So,  in our  project  "Differences bring us together",  students    will have a chance to  acquire new knowledge of the world and the people of another country (their culture, traditions, lifestyles, opinions, etc..)  and to  get to know new people and make new friendships.While getting involved in many types of activity, the students also will have an opportunity to  improve their English language skills  through  cooperation of ...
