- preserve our European Heritage; have our students know our European fairy tales or folktales; use them to develop creativity.
- rewrite yesterday's tales with a moral and write today's ethic tale about a burning current issue.
- teach related-heritage conservationnal skills including digital skills.
- Write and read for different purposes: poems, play our cards and rules, letters received from friends, interact, read to vote... but mostly about stories to enchant friends, stories the students have updated themselves or together!
- illustrate to learn about visual communication.
- WRITING, ILLUSTRATING and READING allow us to become responsible European citizens and marvellous future parents.
- Entice pupils to read more starting with gamification to remember them the pleasure to share good moments while reading. Those moments shared with parents can also be shared with their teachers and classmates to build up a pleasant working atmosphere.
- Reading as a paramount human activity.
INNOVATION:
