Our pupils are excited. They are eager to connect through Google Hangout, Skipe or Whatsapp with pupils from other schools from othe countries.
First connections among teachers and pupils from different schools and countries were on December 2018. Children were sharing Christmas Carols and other songs and questions in english about how they were or the weather. Happyness was around all of us. It was great to meet our European partners.

Connection Sweden /Spain
Great information sharing.
Swedish pupils from Falköping explained how they work at school and showed their feet with socks and no shoes inside the classroom. They tell many things about their school, timetable and subjects.
Spanish pupils did the same. Two groups of 3rd and 4th primary joined together this fantastic activity to internationalize our schools.They asked and answer many questions in English about their both schools. At the end Pupils from Alcobendas explained facts about a very known Festival from Madrid, St. Isidro´s Day. Pupils were wearing tipycal regional costumes from Madrid and this special festival.
