eTwinning Project “1,2,3…From Our Schools To The Zoo!” Mrs. Angheliki’s English Class

In March 2026 our English class prepared and performed some more songs either co-decided for the online meetings with our partners or for our shared recorded videos before Easter. In particular,

• the Hello Song For Kids / Greeting Song for Kids / The Singing Walrus https://youtu.be/gghDRJVxFxU?si=0gY9Xo6hL9ScqldV
• the Ten Bunnies Counting Lyric Video – The Kiboomers Preschool Songs for Easter https://youtu.be/Tyyh8rhwKQ8?si=bqK4eNGJOfOrS3Nn
• a teacher-composed Multilingual Good Morning Song with greetings in 6 European languages (English – working language of our project, French, Greek, Italian – the 3 languages of participant schools, plus German and  Irish Gaelic). You can listen to the tune / melody of the song here: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dHHJnippjS8

Note:The action songs by The Singing Walrus or The Kiboomers were used in this eTwinning project for educational purposes only.

The students had fun singing, dancing as well as accompanying their multilingual singing with percussion (maracas, bells, tambourines etc)

Good morning, Bonjour, Καλημέρα,

Buongiorno, Guten Morgen,

Welcome to our school!

Good morning, Bonjour, Καλημέρα,

Buongiorno, Maidin Mhaith,

It’s nice to meet you!

In addition, having already practised Easter voc and wishes in our lessons, we decided to make a digital Easter postcard for our Italian and French friends by using Canva. Students made some drawings expressing their emotions of love and friendship and I helped them render the text in English (multimodal product: images plus written language).

Also, it is worth mentioning our in-class brainstorming activities (via teacher’s questions and AnswerGarden) that enabled us to come up with our own title proposals for the collaborative book.

Last, as our project is slowly coming to an end, we also carried out a self-assessment activity in the form of “can do” statements (whole-class). Our students were really excellent having acquired most of the project’s skills! Below you can see the “questionnaire” and the emoji cards the students raised to answer:

After Easter all participant students and teachers will have a final all-schools online meeting for the presentation of our BookCreator collaborative counting book. We are looking forward to it, until then…

HAPPY EASTER!!!

 

 

 

 

 

eTwinning Project “1,2,3…From Our Schools to the Zoo”, Mrs Angheliki’s English Class

February was the month mainly dedicated to:

• online meetings, collaboration and game-like interaction with our eTwinning partner schools (Italy, France)
• the creation of our digital collaborative counting book; particularly speaking, our English class was responsible for the creation of page number 3

In our lessons, in preparation for the meetings with our eTwinning partners, we learned and practised the following co-decided English action songs:

a) Hello Hello! Can You Clap Your Hands? by Super Simple Songs https://youtu.be/fN1Cyr0ZK9M?si=-IOgZlCaMEsUooki

b) If You’re Happy and You Know It by Super Simple Songs https://youtu.be/M6LoRZsHMSs?si=upQ-08GcTkrOZ-Wl

c) Head Shoulders Knees And Toes / Noodle & Pals by Super Simple Songs https://youtu.be/RuqvGiZi0qg?si=Kcvh-J9upzxV0xk-

d) Na, na, na, I’m so happy… Action Songs for kids by The Singing Walrus https://youtu.be/dUXk8Nc5qQ8?si=_LzLvt0EfgUlI86M

*Note: The action songs by Super Simple Songs OR The Singing Walrus are used in this eTwinning project for educational purposes only. 

We also learned and practised multilingual greetings in English, Italian and French such as Hello, Good morning, Goodbye, Buongiorno, Ciao, Arrivederci, Bonjour, Au revoir

As for the book creation, after guessing the national animal of Greece (the dolphin), our English class worked in groups and illustrated the 3rd page of the common, collaborative, counting book. To achieve that we used various Art / Craft materials and techniques and hence, our three dolphins managed to travel to Greece in a hot air balloon!

The artwork was also accompanied by two bilingual recordings of the same sentence in both English and Greek (oral production of speech):

Three dolphins, in a hot air balloon, go to Greece!

Τρία δελφίνια με ένα αερόστατο πηγαίνουν στην Ελλάδα!

The result of our art / illustration work was also pinned on the school’s bulletin board .

Apart from the 3 dolphins finally included on page 3 (those voted by the students of the French school), we also used the rest and made an extra poster depicting the national animal of our homeland.

Through our engagement we developed various skills related to Numeracy, Language and Communication, Art and Creativity, Cultural Awareness / European Citizenship to mention but a few.

We hope that you’ll like our eTwinning activities and artwork as much as we do!!!
