Virtual meetings of pupils
Italy & Spain, November 2020
Fables: "The Town Mouse and The Country Mouse"
“We collaborated with the Spanish team and the splendid students there. We had a videoconference. Students were excited and very interested in the activity. Italian students role-played the story “The Town Mouse and The Country Mouse'' and Spanish students asked questions about the story. The activity was very well received and we would like to have another similar experience”, the school team from Sicily reports.
Greece & Croatia, November/December 2020
Fables: "The Sun and the Wind"
"The Fox and the Crow"
On 24th November 2020, 5th graders from Greece and Croatia took part in a video lesson. The theme was Aesop's fable "The Sun and the Wind", which both groups of students read, discussed and illustrated. A very interesting experience for both teams!
The second online meeting was held on 3rd December 2020, when 3rd graders from Greece and Croatia had the chance to share this experience as well. The Greek pupils presented Aesop's fable "The Fox and the Crow" and the Croatian pupils answered their T/F statements... Video calls allow pupils to interact in real time and offer them the chance to practise communication skills in real-life situations!
Sweden & Croatia, February 2021
Music Bring Us Closer
On 2nd February 2021, a video meeting of schools from Sweden and Croatia was held, hosted by teachers Johanna, Johan and Branka. Teams of children aged 7-9 introduced themselves through songs. We sang and mimed "If You're Happy" and other songs in English, Swedish and Croatian. It was a lovely experience!
The first video meeting between teams from Sweden and Croatia was a success, so on 9th February organised another one for different classes. The second graders from two countries performed movement songs together, which was a very fun way to interact. Again, they sang in English, Swedish and Croatian. The meeting was hosted by teachers Johan and Branka.
