    Short description

     

    The aim of the project is to teach the English curriculum of 3rd and 4th grades through the project. The traditional English books will be left apart and the Twinspace will become the new work place of these students. Nowadays ICT objectives are included in the curriculum as a knowledge that must be developed in all the areas of teaching. The project will allow most students to get the first contact with the ICT tools.

    The eTwinning project is directed at primary school students aged 8 - 10 years old to promote active ways of learning. Based on cooperative work between the schools they will learn together in international groups from the first moment.

    Working method

    From the first activity students will be working in international groups to do the activities. There will be six main activities along the project, all of them with a final common work. Once all the teams finish each activity each group will receive a part of a puzzle that they will complete when the project is finished. If there is no cooperative work there is no piece of puzzle.

    Other teachers from school will be involved and also families.
