THE DAY AFTER...
THE CAKE IN THE SKY
I'm a dreamer,
but I dream not only for me:
I dream a pie in the sky,
to give a little to you.
A chocolate cake
as big as a city,
coming from space
at low speed.
At first it may seem a cloud,
it will land on a square,
we will give a look,
curious from the terrace ...
But when it falls,
as sweet as a comet,
there is enough for all
to have a complete feast.
Each one gets a slice
with a candied cherry,
and who will not say "good!"
certainly will say "delicious!"
Then, you will know
(and it will be more comic)
that someone had tried
to throw an atomic bomb,
but instead of the deadly mushroom...
the explosion caused
(For now,… in my dream)
a chocolate cake!
GIANNI RODARI, ITALIAN POET FOR CHILDREN, translated from Italian into English.
The dream of Gianni Rodari is a wish, a hope: that all bombs give life to chocolate cakes, symbol of feast and joy, to make all children happy, and ...may their burden of death and destruction disappear from the earth, forever!
WHAT IS eTWINNING FOR ME?
eTWINNING: a fantastic adventure!
Day by day the close contact with teachers of highly skilled labor enriches me: our project is like a colorful mosaic, whose tiles are represented by the individual competences.
This common mosaic is becoming more and more magic, it conveys emotions and dreams.
Our professionalism increases while working together, our contacts become less and less virtual, and more and more friendly. We feel that we can rely on one another, there is no competition, only COLLABORATION. Everyone offers experience and sensitiveness.
When a teacher is so deeply motivated, the pupils feel that LEARNING IS FREEDOM: beyond grammar rules, tests, heavy homework, they find a magic corner where they can release their creativity, their need to communicate emotions and ideas.
This is eTwinning for me.
Thanks my dear partners and friends! You make me live a dream!
eTwinning poem
Our countries are so far apart...
but we're joined by mind, feelings, heart.
No walls divide our lands:
all the world we keep in hands.
We find nice words for this sensation:
FREEDOM, CREATIVITY, COLLABORATION.
But the best of all, is a magic one:
FRIENDSHIP, burning like a shining sun.
Hands in hands, a merry-go-round,
singing voices have a cosy sound!
All together, we are so clever...
eTwinning project is a dream forever!
