A group of 19 students and 2 teachers from the Pagkritio High School in Crete (Greece) has come to visit our school. After the reception, some of our 1st Bachillerato students have joined them to enjoy breakfast together and a tour of the city, including the visit to one of its famous wine cellars.  

  Today, our 3rd year students of ESO have been learning about matter and  its structure, together with vocabulary related terms.  In the image we see out language assistant, Catherine, with some students during one of the lessons.

Catherine Turner, the new language assistant, has just arrived from Baltimore (USA), to spend this year with us.  She will help our students with culture, pronunciation, gamification, and all sorts of brilliant ideas which will make them love English and improve their knowledge of the language.

 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.
