eTwinning “My Childhood Bucket List_Primary Edition” – Part 2

 

December was a month full of creativity, celebration, and meaningful collaboration for students and teachers from all partner schools. A series of shared festive activities sparked off the learners’ imagination, strengthened teamwork and gave the children the opportunity to experience a rich cultural exchange.

To begin with, the students from all participating schools took part in a transnational voting process to choose the “Dream School Day.” The idea that received the most votes was joyfully celebrated during our online meeting: a pyjama party with board games! It was a day filled with smiles, relaxation, laughter, and plenty of fun, perfectly capturing the spirit of togetherness.

During this month, the children created handmade greeting cards, which were uploaded to a shared collaborative digital noticeboard, allowing students to exchange festive wishes with their European partners.

A true highlight of the month was the much-anticipated online meeting of all schools. During this live session, students connected in real time to exchange wishes and dreams for the future. Together, they also contributed to a word cloud of New Year wishes, beautifully reflecting the shared hopes, values, and optimism of all participants.

During the same meeting, the winning project logo and poster were announced following the voting process. We are incredibly proud that both winning designs came from our school, created by the imagination, creativity, and enthusiasm of the 3^rd Grade students.

The programme concluded with a joyful cultural exchange, as partner schools shared festive songs and, in some cases, traditional dances from their countries. This experience gave the children the chance to discover different traditions and truly feel the power of European cooperation.

Once again, these activities highlighted the role of eTwinning as a bridge of communication, creativity, and cultural connection, bringing schools from different countries and cultures together and proving that learning knows no geographical borders.

eTwinning “Hidden Voices, Stolen Minds” – Part 2

 

Our dynamic eTwinning journey continued in December with new activities that highlighted the value of collaboration, intercultural communication, and creative expression.

To begin with, students carried out research using carefully selected sources in their mother tongue. Their focus was on important women from their own countries who stood out in different fields. The children gathered key information and notes about the lives and achievements of these women. Working in groups, they subsequently wrote short texts in English, which were brought together in a shared collaborative presentation. Through this process, the students discovered not only inspiring women from their own country, but also from all the other participating countries.

This was followed by a school-level poll, with the aim of selecting one personality from each school for the creation of a collaborative 2026 calendar. In this way, nine personalities were selected, one from each participating school. For the remaining three, a transnational poll took place, and the results were announced during the online meeting. These women were presented in the calendar through the collaboration of learners working in transnational teams.

As December is dominated by a festive spirit, students additionally created Christmas/New Year cards inspired by the women featured in the calendar. These were also created in transnational groups. Their wishes drew on the lives, values, and achievements of these remarkable figures.

At the same time, students exchanged holiday wishes through a shared playlist of songs on a digital platform (wakelet) used for collecting, organizing, and sharing content. The songs which were uploaded, both in the students’ mother tongues and in English, were proposed and voted for by the children themselves.

The month concluded with a joyful and energetic online meeting. After initial introductions, students took part simultaneously in an interactive online quiz related to the personalities from the collaborative presentation. They also shared ideas on an audience-response platform, creating a word cloud which highlighted the characteristics of successful women. The meeting ended on a festive note, with students singing holiday songs both in their native languages and in English.

Through cooperation and creativity, inspiration travelled beyond borders, filling the holiday season with joy and meaningful learning.
