Project of the Month: One Earth Different People

etwinning1A magical train leaves Romania to reach Malta, with magical dolls on board dressed in national costumes who then describe the flags, food, traditions of their country.  The train’s destination is St. Thomas More College, Marsascala Primary School. The project has been teaching kindergarten pupils various subjects indirectly, like colours and shapes through flags, customs and manners through food and traditions. Music was also  included through singing traditional songs in both our native tongue and English.  The project has also helped to practice some pre-writing skills.
The two dolls representing Malta and Romania have been telling the class children about the national items, with the help of puppets/puppet shows.
Then digital images, videos and crafts of these encounters will finally be exchanged between the two countries thus making the children aware of the wonders of IT at such a tender age.

Our project has also been making children aware that inspite of cultural, geographical, racial differences, we are still One Earth, Different People! Visit our blog at http://msjanet.wordpress.com.
