Then in groups we will teach him many things about our culture: literature, theatre and music, food, traditional games, sports, religion, celebrations, our daily routine, our social life... We hope he can learn a lot about us!
eTwinning consists of a project that combines an intensive use of technology (such as blogs, wikis, forums, chat, image galleries, video, podcast, prezi, etc.) and the use of the English language in exchange with students from other European countries.
Creating a puppet of the Norwegian hero
Askeladden, the Norwegian hero, has travelled all the way from Norway to our country by flying balloon!! We are now creating a reporduction of this hero as a puppet. We will use many materials: clothes, plastic, wood and clay.
Presenting our national hero
We started a new topic: each country selected a national hero who represents our own culture (see the page "Our national heroes"). We chose Sant Jordi! Altogether we tried to explain the legend to our colleagues from other countries:
And now our Sant Jordi will fly by balloon to another country to teach them about our culture: Turkey!!!
Once upon a
time there was a dragon near a
village. The dragon was very hungry and in the beginning ate animals from the
village. When it finished the animals, the dragon started eating people. The king of the village talked to the
people and they decided to feed the dragon with one person every day, and they
draw lots to decide who.
One day the
person that they decided was the princess.
The king and the queen were very sad. But they had to accept the decision and
they took the princess to the dragon. When the dragon was about to eat the
princess, a knight called Sant Jordi
appeared, with a white horse and a spear, and went to rescue her. He threw the spear against the dragon in the
heart and the dragon died. Some blood came out to the floor and a rose was born from there. The Sant
Jordi took the rose and gave it as a present
to the princess and they fell in
love with each other.
And now our Sant Jordi will fly by balloon to another country to teach them about our culture: Turkey!!!
Video conference with Turkey
Today we had a new experience: we connected through Skype with our students' colleagues from Turkey. It was a great and unique experience, we sat down in pairs in front of the webcam and the computer, and we introduced ourselves and talked for a bit, and then made some questions about them or their country. They also did the same. This way we got to know each other better.
