TWIN SCHOOL PROJECT 2016-17
CEIP LOS ALMENDROS (Rivas-Vaciamadrid / Madrid-
Spain)
CONTACT: (Jose
Espejo Salzedo)
&
CONTACT: (Elena Theophanous)
_____________________________________________
GENERAL
OBJECTIVES
·
To establish, develop and maintain a lasting and
sustainable relationship between schools with equal input from both partners.
·
To broaden the knowledge, appreciation and respect for
other cultures and languages.
·
To explore the possibilities for staff and pupil
mobility between our schools in the near future.
ASPECTS TO BE
TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT
·
ICT will be the tool used for communication; so both
schools should need a proper computer room/s with internet, webcam, mic and
audio system.
·
We should aim to communicate via e-mail / chat / blog
/ webcam / skype at least once every term to ensure regular and consistent
lines of communication exist between our schools.
·
We recommend the creation of a blog (whose user and
password will be shared by both coordinators) in order to publish activities,
agreements, experiences, photos, etc.
·
The way to do exchanges will be based on using both
Spanish and English in turns. For example first Chalgrove students will do
their little presentations and questions in Spanish and Spanish students will
listen to them and answer to their questions. Then Los Almendros students will
do their little presentations and ask in English to Chalgrove students who will
have to answer them.
TOPICS
The project will try to provide our students with
knowledge of the English and Spanish cultures. For that purpose we could focus
on some of the following topics:
FIRST TERM TOPIC: GETTING
TO KNOW EACH OTHER .
MONTH FOR THE
CONTACT: NOVEMBER 2016.
Introduction
to both school groups. The first contact might be based on:
1-Presentation of the web page for each school before
the contact (create expectations).
2-Ask students to prepare a little presentation…maybe
one or two representatives might do it through skype the established day. You might prepare in groups the
presentation before that, and then students might vote the one they like best.
This might be based on: Saying their names, ages of the group, where is the
school located, what’s the weather like…an introduction…and an open turn of
questions to know each other group in turns. This exchange might last no longer
than 45 minutes. (20 minutes each school)
Before that we
can publish in the blog what students have been preparing for the exchange,
little by little since both coordinators are going to have the chance to sign
in for the e-twinning blog.
Before
November (October) we will establish a “schedule” for the contacts and exchange.
What time and date would be the exchange for 7 years old students, 10 years old
students…etc. In order to do so coordinators will exchange their groups timetables
and will find when to do so. But before that we can exchange emails with
different works, photos.
TASK-FOLLOW UP
ACTIVITY: After that introduction we might be sending a xmas card, email, or
voice record or video… to each correspondent group on Christmas for DECEMBER
2016. This might be optional, but we think it might be nice….
SECOND TERM TOPIC: FOOD HABITS, TYPICAL MEALS, TIMETABLES…
MONTH FOR THE
CONTACT: MARCH 2017
1-During the month of January and February both
schools, and its different groups, will prepare the exchange. As an idea or
suggestion split up students in groups of 5. Each group might be working in a
wall chart where to explain by drawings, tables, pics, etc…what do they eat in
general for each meal and what time. (it might be nice to include typical
dishes..). For example, for each age level there will be 4-5 groups of 5
members aprox. So one group works on breakfast, another group in lunch, another
dinner. They will have to ask each other what do they generally eat, (at school
or at home), create and write the menu,(if there’s a special dish explain it a
little bit-this might be done for older students), what time do they have the
meal, dessert (in case they have it) etc.
During these
two months coordinators will compile photos and will be using the blog to
publish what are students doing before the real exchange in MARCH 2017.
2-Again coordinators will concrete a timetable for the
exchange. The works might have been sent before hand to each coordinator
through photos for example. But the day of the exchange the members for each
group will explain their wall chart to the other school group. Again representatives
might do it through skype the
established day. You might prepare in groups the presentation before that. This
exchange might last 45 minutes.(20 minutes each school).
THIRD TERM TOPIC: A
FAMOUS FESTIVAL-CELEBRATION DURING THE TERM.
MONTH FOR THE
CONTACT: JUNE 2017
1- The
idea is to give each school the information about a special big celebration
during the last term. For example in our school CEIP Los Almendros Physical
Education connected to sport is one of our objectives and most important issues.
Thus, on May we usually celebrate our particular view of the “Scholar Olimpic
Games”. Most of the school prepare, organise and participate on them; we all go
to spend the day to the Town Sport Center, and there we play diiferent
sports…from basketball, football, athletism…etc. The important thing here is to
get used to sport connected to healthy habits, etc.
2- Again
both schools will be working before the exchange during the months of April and
May. Students will prepare again a little presentation. This time, as a
suggestion and in order to be a bit faster during the exchange, we could
prepare one presentation in “power point” for each group level. Including
photos, dates, etc….probably the power point could be done by the teacher…but
with the suggestions and ideas of students. The day of the exchange the
presentations might be sent before hand. So each teacher will “play” the
presentation from the other school group and at the same time some students
through mic and skype might explain
what it is.
During these
two months coordinators will compile photos and will be using the blog to
publish what are students doing before the real exchange in JUNE 2017.
2-Again coordinators will concrete a timetable for the
exchange. The power point might have been sent before hand to each coordinator
through email (so we can change it works). This exchange might last 45 minutes.(20
minutes each school)
