To celebrate World Hug Day 2026:

1) We brainstormed around friendship and ways of showing our love

2) We watched the animation short film “Wings” about solidarity and empathy between friends and discussed

3) We watched a read aloud video of “The Colour Monster” regarding emotions and shared our own, as well as how we feel when we have OR don’t have a friend

4) We played, sang and danced to the music of various songs such as “Friends, friends, 1,2,3” and the action song “If you are happy and you know it”, to mention but a few

5) We practised relevant voc and expressions such as love, hug, kiss, friend, pal, happy together, care, be kind, respect, I love you, play together, have fun together, share our emotions etc

6) We decided to send our hugs to the World and our loved ones abroad or just far away with:

a) a bouquet of flowers (poster)

b) two love / care (teddy) bears (poster)

c) doughnut and candy-shaped cards

d) 3D mugs of hot chocolate 

e) a heart-shaped card

7) As a Code Week activity, we helped Bee-Bot to reach Huggy the Bear and pick up beary hugs, lollipops, flowery hugs, kisses and love hearts on his way.

All done as a hymn to FRIENDSHIP, LOVE & KINDNESS with lots of hugs and kisses

Our English class (school year 2025-2026) participates in the European eTwinning project “1,2,3…From our Schools to the Zoo!” in collaboration with two Kindergartens / Preschools from France and one from Italy.

What follows is the dissemination of the eTwinning activities (icebreakers: getting to know each other, cultural awareness / exchange of customs, Eric Carle’s book) carried out in the subject of English in January 2026 through a video and a poster made with Canva plus photos.
