Timeline

The following is a suggested Project Timeline, based on our plan.  Please have a look and see what you think

We will need to agree dates for the video call for our own schools. It is essential also to hold one or two planning calls between the teachers in advance of the call with the pupils to check the connection and technology.

 

October

- Project plan written and agreed. 

-Twinspace established. 

-Partners invited.  (Further partners possibly added. )

- pupils to design a logo for the project (upload by first week in November)

- sharing information from each country and school (maybe including vokis from the children and StepMap to show where your school and country are in Europe);

 

November

Please note that it is important to share the information on songs and the decorations to give partners enough time to use the information 

By 20 November

Upload logos
