Etwinning Project Autumn 2018

My Favourite Game

We are pleased to announce that our new European project My Favourite Game has been endorsed by the National Support Service on the Etwinning site.

Over the course of the term, we will be working on a project with three other schools in Europe - Spain, Poland and Slovenia. Our aim is to share our favourite games, giving clear instructions of each, so that each participating school will be able to play and then review the games. All work will be uploaded and shared on the Etwinning site. We will finish with a book of our favourite games that will hopefully be played for many years to come.

What we plan to do

1. Students record a short video showing their school and introducing themselves.
2. Students in small groups choose their favourite game and make a poster using all kinds of supports: paper, pictures, drawings, Powerpoint...explaining how to play (instructions, number of players, material needed, time, rules and personal information about them).
3. Students record a short video showing how to play the game.
4. Share posters and videos with school partners. 
5. Introduce new games in our PE lessons.
6. Give a review about the games on PADLET. 
7. Christmas Postcards. 

AIMS
- To know how different/similar schools are in other European countries
- To know other countries and their culture through games
- To communicate in a foreign language
- To respect different cultures and opinions
- To write instructional texts
- To incorporate new games into PE lessons
 
EXPECTED RESULTS
We will be playing these games in our PE lessons.
We will have learnt about other cultures and schools in Europe.
We will have communicated effectively and given clear instructions to play a game.
We will celebrate and enjoy playing new games.

Travelling Teddy Bear

19th March 2014
PictureClick here to find out more...
Mrs North has been accepted to join a group of nine other European schools to work on a new, exciting project entitled ‘Travelling Teddy Bear to Discover Other European Schools’.  The project involves adopting a teddy bear mascot, which travels from one country to another, keeping a diary and blog about each school and the activities that take place.

Mrs North will be in regular contact with teachers from the various schools, which include: Netherlands, Turkey, Romania, Croatia, Estonia, Poland and Slovakia.

Throughout the project, children at St Mary’s will discover lots of interesting facts about the different countries and the daily lives of the children who live there.


Malaga-February Half term 2014

10th Feb 2014
I feel very lucky to have received funding to spend half term at the Malaca Instituto in Malaga, where I took part in an intensive Spanish learning programme.  
The week included sessions in teaching methodologies and three mornings were spent job-shadowing in a Spanish school.



This was a fabulous week and I have returned to school with new ideas and greater confidence in my Spanish speaking skills.  I have now developed a link with the school I visited, and children in Year 2 have already written to their new Spanish friends.  We look forward to receiving letters from them.

Mrs North
