Meeting in Estonia

  • The first year of the eTwinning – Nordplus project  "Primary school children create, experiment, do researches" has finished. Siauliai “Juventos” primary school children are already on vacation, and the teachers, the project participants, still remember experience and impressions of the second project meeting held in LaagnaLasteaed-Pohikool school, in Tallinn. Going to the meeting, we knew that the school, which we will be is slightly different from the schools we are accustomed. And students - are different...

    We saw wheelchairs, walkers in the school yard. They belong to the fate of the disadvantaged, but they hold themselves end up with perception of curiosity, creativity and wisdom of other children. As for  Discipline and desire to be self-sufficient, these children are from the majority of regular students.

    During the meeting, pupils of school Pohikool LaagnaLasteaed we presented their programme - they played, sang, performed. Indeed, it was a very moving moment, so our eyes glistened... disloyal.

     A week and its works passed very quickly. Activities organised by the school and the teachers charmed all the pupils. They willingly carried out various tests, explored and experimented. We and children got to know many new things when we visited Tartu University of Technology. Here we have learnt what is nano chemistry, we tried out the plastic bags in manufacturing technology, and have worked with nylon stitches. We were introduced with the newest techologies for the next decade.
