MOCK TWIN SCHOOL PROJECT 2017-18
CEIP LOS ALMENDROS (Rivas-Vaciamadrid /
Madrid- Spain)
CONTACT: (Jose

&
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 / hangout videoconference at least once every term to ensure regular
and consistent lines of communication exist between our schools.
·
We have created a blog (whose user and password will
be shared by both coordinators) in order to post 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.
2017-2018 TOPIC:
MY FAVOURITE ONES
The project this academic year will try to provide our
students with knowledge of both English and Spanish cultures. For that purpose
we could focus on some of the following topics: FAMOUS PEOPLE, FAVOURITE BOOKS
and FAVOURITE MUSIC. Students will be showing to their twin school peers their
culture based on their free time habits: music, books and famous people. The
idea is to achieve a connection between both cultures...different ones but at
the same time...same interests...
·
FIRST TERM TOPIC: FAMOUS
PEOPLE
MONTH FOR THE
CONTACT: NOVEMBER 2017.(tuesday 21st
+ 28th)
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). These are just ideas and suggestions...
2-Ask students to prepare a little presentation…maybe
one or two representatives might do the videoconference in itself the
established day. You might prepare the
presentation in groups 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 the move
onto the famous character or characters chosen. Remember the chracters have to
be English for Chalgrove and Spanish
for Los Almendros...then after the
presentation there will be an open turn of questions in turns. (these questions
should be sent in advance to each school so they have plenty of time to prepare
them). This exchange shouldn't last longer than 45 minutes. (20 minutes each
school).
Before that we
can post 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.
At the
beginning of November 2017 we will
establish a “schedule” for the contacts and exchange. This year will be done on
tuesdays. What time and date would be the exchange for 9 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 first contact we will be sending Christmas cards to each
correspondent group on Christmas for DECEMBER 2017. This will be collected by
both coordinators during the first week of December so there is enough time to
be sent to each school before Christmas holidays 22nd December.
·
SECOND TERM TOPIC: FAVOURITE BOOK.(reading habits, favourite ones...)
MONTH FOR THE
CONTACT: MARCH 2018 (tuesday 7th-14th)
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 everything will be explained by drawings, tables, pics, etc…or
maybe a PowerPoint presentation...what do they usually read in class, when do
they read at school, talk about the library...what do they like best about
reading...their favourite books... For example, for each age level there will be
4-5 groups of 5 members approx. So one group works on reading habits, another
group on reading surveys, another favourite books at their age, free time
reading.... Then, as in the first exchange, students will have to ask each
other what some questions; which will be agreed and sent before hand to each
school and level, so students can prepare them, etc.
During these
two months coordinators will compile photos and will be using the blog to post
what are students doing before the real exchange in MARCH 2018.
2-Again coordinators will concrete a timetable for the
exchange. The works will be sent before
hand to each coordinator through photos for example. But the day of the
exchange the members in each group will explain their wall chart to the other
school group. Again representatives voted will do it the established day. Teachers might prepare in
groups the presentation before that. This exchange might last 45 minutes.(20
minutes each school).
·
THIRD TERM TOPIC: FAMOUS SONGS-MUSIC GROUPS.
MONTH FOR THE
CONTACT: JUNE 2018 (tuesday 5th+12th)
1- The
idea is to give each school the information about famous spanish songs,
singers...and at the same time show who are their favourite singers and
songs...
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 hangout
videoconference might explain what it is.
During these
two months coordinators will compile photos and will be using the blog to post
what are students doing before the real exchange in JUNE 2018.
2-Again coordinators will concrete a timetable for the
exchange. The power point will be sent before hand to each coordinator through
email (so we can check it works). This exchange might last 45 minutes.(20
minutes each school)
