Ms Daniela Vassallo K1 Peacocks class of 2021-2022


Back in October 2021, I was invited to take part in this project alongside 10 Turkish educators. The project aim was to support young children’s muscle development through enjoyable and age-appropriate activities. In parallel to these simple activities, we aimed to support our students’ Cognitive, Language, Social and Emotional development areas. Regular meetings between us teachers, made this project a successful one as we all got to discuss in real time the tasks to do and the challenges that one might encounter. This helped us all to adapt the activities as needed depending on our student’s ages and capabilities. The project was a success as the expected results were achieved! Our students worked well together, supported and learned from each other. Looking forward for the next one!
Sharing with you a link to a coding activity video done with my students:
The project gave our students the chance to develop creativity and combine the English language with art, expressing their special but diverse skills and talents. Improving language skills, especially using English as a common tool of communication was a major objective.
Cooperative learning was used to help students share their thoughts and ideas. Discussing European stories and carrying out literacy activities using digital tools increased students’ interest in the English language. It helped to develop their cognitive skills and key competences.
The students created a variety of writings including comics, fake Instagram profiles, different story endings, Bio poems, interviews with characters from the stories, Escape rooms, story cubes and newspaper articles among others. They used various digital tools to carry out the literacy activities including WordArt, Pixton / Storyboard, Flipgrid, Linoit, Padlet, Genially (to create Escape rooms), ReadWriteThink, Storyjumper, Author Premium, Vocaroo, Fodey, Author Premium and Learning Apps. Students participated with enthusiasm. In transnational groups, students chose a participating country and a topic and searched for information about it. They then presented this work on our countries on a Padlet map. Click the pdf icon for more info.

This scholastic year we embarked on a journey through classical fables and fictional tales together with partners from Malta, Poland, Italy, Turkey and Germany. The project came to an end after a whole year of monthly planning, implementations and evaluations in which we turned stories into various activities.
Monthly, the chosen stories were challenged with various tasks in which as a class we investigated through play and s.t.e.a.m education. Taking slots and pieces from the stories to highlight our learning outcomes was smooth to all partners because there was consistent collaboration even during school lock downs.
From the start the aim of this project was to ensure that activities could be done anywhere and by anyone, there the pandemic did not hinder our learning. This is why on Friday 28th May 2021, we decided to meet up online through Twinspace Live events in order to celebrate together the end of this successful project we all have put our minds and hearts into. While meeting online, each representative country made flags to wave and use throughout the event. During the event we showed the students our collaborative video which we did as a whole team, the ebook and our padlet. The excitement was indeed visible in everyone's faces and a heartwarming moment when students refer to each other as "my friends".
Before hanging up on our call, each participant joined in with singing and dancing to do a last celebration together as part of our etwinning journey.
