eTwinning projects in 2006-2007

etwinning projects in our school in the school year 2006/07

In this school year 76 students from the junior Grammar School in Ceska Lipa are working on five international projects. The school was very successful last year and we won two second prizes in the National Competition of the etwinning.

Prima B has started a project called Neighbours with their Slovak friends from Grammar School in Puchov. They are beginners in the international projects but they are doing very well and they are good at using ICT tools while they send emails to their partners. We combine three languages in this project. Czech/ Slovak/ English. It is good because there are topics which would be too difficult for the children and it is also good to practice the language of our neighbours.

Sekunda B has a large project with two other schools. One is from Poland and the other is from the town Braga from Portugal. Before Christmas all those students exchanged Christmas cards and we also sent a sound file/ a Christmas song in English. The project is called Cyber friends and will finish at the end for the school year.

Sekunda A is working on the project based on the curriculum of three subjects. Music, Art and English. The project is called Music helps us live. It is a music project with our best friends from Greece from Kavasila High School. Students introduce some of the folk songs. They illustrate each song by different techniques and they translate the songs into English. The project is accompanied by a large photogallery and Music file with MP3 pieces of music. At the beginning of the school year we sent all the new partners a film about our school, made by the students.

Kvarta A has a project with the students from Malta{ G.P. Agius de Soldanis, Girls Secondary School} and the students from Cyprus{ Linopetra Lyceum} The project is called Do you know me? and is based on Geography, History and CE.

The winners from the last year kvarta B have just started the project with Lithuania {M. Balinskio Secondary School.} and it is called New friends- new pictures of Europe and it is based on the project from the etwinning Culture in the box. The final work from this project will be a presentation of the groups of students about Lithuania and the students in our partner school will work on the presentations about the Czech Republic.

We have also sent some of our partner schools DVD with the Christmas concert of our School choir from December 2006.

We hope that all our projects will be successful and the students will like them. The total number from all the schools involved in the projects is 188.
