Starting off the year with a great bonding activity; the pupils closed their eyes and had to trust that their ‘guarding angel’ would lead them safely around the schoolyard.
A simple yet amazing activity that teaches how to trust, to believe in someone, to support and be a good friend; values that are necessary not only for the year ahead, but for a lifetime!
This is an Erasmus+ activity from the seminar held in Madeira back in August.
An Erasmus+ activity from the Barcelona seminar was introduced in class today!
The pupils were divided in teams with the mission to build a very tall tower using spaghetti, some string, plasticine and tape! Although it came out to be quite a difficult task, all the teams succeeded in engaging in fruitful dialogue, in expressing opinions, putting ideas to test, changing plans and in trying out many methods. All in a friendly and cooperative way, which was the main aim of this activity! Mission accomplished, then! Congratulations everyone!
From the desks of Barcelona, back to ours, after an amazing Erasmus+ week where we attended the ‘A European School for All children’ seminar. The seminar was about tolerance, inclusion, multiculturalism, equal opportunities and diversity. Eight teachers from four countries (Italy, Austria, the Czech Republic and Greece) took part in it.
Back from Funchal, Madeira, after a week full of new knowledge, new friends and unforgettable experiences!
Our school, the 2nd Primary School of Akrata, participated in the Erasmus+ staff mobility entitled ‘Project management for cross-cultural exchange projects in Europe’ along with other 46 teachers from 8 European countries (Greece, Lithuania, Austria, Germany, Slovenia, Slovakia, Finland, Hungary).
Today we went on a bug hunt around the school! We worked in two groups and looked for bugs with the magnifying glasses then kept notes on the worksheets! Back at school we counted and reported in class,; we saw lots of ants, some flies and butterflies, a couple of grasshoppers and spiders. We had a lovely time!
