On Wednesday, 20 June 2018, we organized the Teachers’ Council in our kindergarten with the participation of 16 teachers, where it was a dissemination activity for the Training and Teaching event held in Saint Germain en Laye, France. The two teachers who participated in the event, Mihaela and Ana-Maria, shared their wonderful experiences that lived there during 5-9 June 2018, highlighting the new pedagogical methods learned, oriented towards transdisciplinarity and which we can successfully apply in our future didactic activities.

On Tuesday 12nd of June the older students of 1 Nipiagogeio Voulas who will go to the primary school next September, visited 1rst Primary school of Voula in our neighborhood. The two classes of 1rst grade welcomed us and presented their classrooms and their yard. We offered rucksacks with the logo of our project and we discussed our cooperation. Our students felt very proud and old enough to continue to the next step of education, so our goal for easy transition from preprimary to primary school was achieved.

The visit of Monet gardens in Giverny during our first Training event in France gave to teachers material and inspiration for artistic activities with students. So, with our return back to school the students admired the photos and the books with the art of the impressionist painter Claude Monet, together with all the photos and the material brought from the training event. The students expressed themselves artistically with joy!
