COLLABORATIVE PADLET:
- NUTRITION and ART activities will be done after X-mas holidays (January and February).
- Difficulties: 1. This is not the better period to grow pulses. At school it´s cold and damp specially at week-ends. 2. Pulses Diary. We started writing but it´s not easy for us to follow the exact moment of growing. 3. Adding materials to both Google Drive and Twinspace takes time.
- Pros: 1. Pupils are really engaged with the plants. Report of their plants at home will be ready before X-mas. 2. Free-style lets teachers organize work.
- Proposals: 1. Hand-made X-mas cards exchange. 2. Collaborative poems/stories in a new Page in Twinspace.
