A very interesting project for primary schools will start next scholastic year. It is called Draw a Tale! Contact Magdalena Goc now to join this project!

The theme of the project is writing and drawing tales. The project will include children aged from 7 to 11. The chosen language is English. The main idea is that pupils form a team; write a tale together then draw the tale by creating a series of 5-10 drawings. Children will exchange drawings with partner schools and they will write stories about each other schools’ drawings.

The main objective of the project is to provide an opportunity for primary teachers and their pupils to establish a multilateral partnership and to develop a joint creative project.  We expect pupils to improve their ICT skills in order to learn, to communicate and to express themselves; to improve social skills, and the ability to use and apply creative thinking skills, to co-operate well as a team, to negotiate and mediate, to take initiative, responsibility and to make decisions, etc…published and public in twinspace.

All the stories written by pupils and the drawings and paintings designed by pupils will be collected in a booklet.

If you are interested in joining this project go to your eTwinning profile and look up Magdalena Goc and send her an email.

For more information and help you can contact the National Support Service on etwinning@schoolnet.gov.mt or on 25982150/79002150.

Creative Classroom
Moderator: Irene Pateraki

eTwinning projects are ideal means to promote student’s creativity. Many teachers have already done a lot in this field. The “Creative Classroom” group is created to support teachers towards this direction: implementing creativity in everyday teaching and eTwinning projects in an effective and professional way. Teachers in this community will learn more about creative thinking, techniques, activities, games etc. Besides the educational material that is provided and updated on a regular basis, participants will share material and examples of good practice that they have already implemented in their projects. Learning in a community depends on the interactivity and sharing among the community members and this is one of the main objectives in order to end up with an online pedagogical guide about creativity!

Social Inclusion
“How to make everybody special in the inclusive classroom.”
Moderator: Patrick Carroll

Welcome to the Social Inclusion team, we are a group of eTwinning Ambassadors who wish to support teachers with inclusive activities that encourage the whole community to participate and celebrate themselves and others. Our vision includes supporting children who are disadvantaged in anyway by linguistic, social or learning difficulties. We would love to have your ideas and skills to make the activities better, the group stronger and the experiences greater for us all.

———-

Maths & Science
Moderator: Palmira Ronchi

This group is aimed to explore different areas within maths and science teaching: how these subjects may be used in eTwinning, how we can learn techniques from each other, how we approach the pedagogy of maths and science in our daily work. We would love to hear your ideas and approaches and hope that it will be great learning experience for everyone involved.

School Head Teachers
“Many heads make work light!”
Moderator: Anne Gilleran

The role of a head teacher in the eTwinning process has many aspects, to understand, promote, support, and guide. We hope in this community we can discuss the implications and effects of promoting eTwinning in schools and offer guidance and professional development that will be relevant to these various roles in relation to eTwinning.

———-

School Librarians
Moderators: Elisabete Fiel and Patricia Sambou

This group is for all school librarians who assist and support their colleagues in running European projects. We hope to pool our knowledge and resources to strenghten the service we offer to our schools. We will start with some group discussions and look forward to your ideas and comments.

oldenMs. Melahrini Papardeli  is an English teacher from Greece and has just started a project called “The Environment and How it Effects People’s Lives”.  Ms Papardeli would like to add a Maltese partner to her project.  She writes:

“As we live close to nature (we live in small villages close to a beautiful mountain) we thought to create an environmental project which includes nature,tradition,customs and of cource people’s life. We named it “The environment and how it affects peoples’ life”. We believe that peoples’ lives are effected by the environment where they live.

The project will start by describing the place where we  live and the students will collect information and photos of the most characteristic places of their towns. Then we continue by finding the jobs that peoples’ did in the past - perhaps also finding old photos. After that we will work on tradition and customs. Finaly we will try to make a conclusion about how much  the environment affects peoples’ lives.”

Ms Papardelli’s students are 10-11 years of age. If you are interested in this project, go to the Partner Finding section of the eTwinning Portal, add Ms. Melahrini Papardeli to your contacts and ask her to take part in this project.  For more information about this or other projects, contact the eTwinning National Support Service on 25982150 or by e-mail on etwinning@schoolnet.gov.mt.
