We care- Our Indian girl Mary Prathibha Swamy

Our school takes care of a little girl from India. We have been paying for her education for six years and we will go on till she finishes the basic school. She lives in the south-west of India in the part called Karnataka. The village is Christian and our adoption for a distance/ as it is called/ is organized by The Charity organization in Prague and India. We send letters to Mary twice a year and she sends letters to us.

During the teachers-parents meeting we collected enough money for her new school year. It is 5 thousand Czech crowns per a school year. It is very useful for the children when they can learn about other children who were not so lucky to be born in a comfort and rich society. The parents could buy pieces of art made by their children.

Public learns about the project

Teachers - parents meeting

On 16 th April, there was a meeting with parents at school. We decided to present our project to the parents. They came to our classroom and the students told them about our work with the Polish school in Ruda Slaska. We showed them also our brochures with boardgames and crosswords. They were very surprised. They hope that we will win next school year and we will be able to visit our friends in Poland.

We are introducing our country through a folk song. The places in the song Bavorov and Prachatice are nice towns in the south of the country. The song is very popular with children and is taught at school. The melody is very easy.

Aims:
To present our work on three public spaces, two blogs and twinspace. To create a collection of board games for conversation lessons, a collection of crosswords in English, photo competition- The most beautiful tree, podcast recordings and videos, to introduce our environment with good and bad points, to learn how to cook traditional dishes

Pedagogical Value:
This project is connected to the curriculum and we transfer topics from English lessons into the project such as the environment, our town, free time activities,

Evaluation:
We think that the project is developing very well, the students have learned a lot about some techniques which they had not known before / for example excel- crosswords, games, changing the size of pictures-photo galleries, using the camera-photo competition, using the microphone- podcast, creating powerpoint presentations, working with information and adjusting it for our purpose,

Use of ICT Tools:
We are using word document, powerpoint, MP3 recordings- dictaphone, a Kodak camera and their personal cameras, all the tools given us by eTwinning.net, blogs, podcasts, slideshares,

Impact:

The students present their project on the school web and on the school corridor notice board, they have presented this project to the parents during the school meeting and we have written into the local newspaper. Other students know about the cooperation with Poland and they want to have a project too. In our school due to various projects, two projects are running at the moment.

Advice:
It is good to think how to make the lessons more interesting and you will see that your students will remember grammar and vocabulary better from the project than from ordinary exercises from the textbook. You will meet new friends and it is also very important.

Photo competition

One of our activities during the project Let´s /b/log in was a photo competition called The Most Beautiful Tree.
13 students took part in this competition and they learned how to take a good picture with a digital camera. They had to resize the photo and place it into photogallery in the twinspace. There were very nice pictures of trees and it was not easy to find the winners.

In the Czech school, we decided to let more people vote. Various students came to the English classroom, observed the exhibition and voted for three pictures.

In total 64 students, two secretaries and five teachers gave their votes to their favourite pictures.

The winners are: 1. Jan Mitáč – The Czech Republic
2. Dominika Kaczmarek – Poland
3. Barbora Kecková – The Czech Republic
The winners got a nice certificate and small presents which will remind them of the project.

Results of the competition Poland

Yesterday and today students, teachers and parents voted for the best tree in our photo competition initaited by the Czech teacher Nada. Here you can see the results and us counting the votes. Congratulations to the winner! We're looking forward to get to know who the final winner will be!

This is a competition between the Czech and Polish students. In our school the other Czech students and teachers vote for the best photo.

Easter survey - Polish group

Thanks to our cooperation we can compare variuos aspect of our lives throughout the year. This time we conducted Easter survey, responding to the questions posted by the Czech teacher on our forum. Reading our friends' posts we can see that some traditions are similar in our countries but it seems that the ways Polish and Czech students celebrate Easter are rather different.

Thanks for "pomlazka' and Easter wishes

A few days ago we received Easter wishes and a nice present from our Czech friends. They sent us a traditional Czech "pomlazka' - a kind of whip used by boys and men on Easter Monday to beat girls in a gentle way. As we learnt "pomlazka" is made from willow rods and its symbolic meaning is that it brings good luck and wealth. In fact this custom used to be popular in Poland in the past but now we celebrate Easter Monday as Śmigus Dyngus which involves a lot of water being poured on girls that day. Thanks to our partners we could learn more about our own customs!

Learning about our friends' region

In April we are describing interesting places n our region. We're preparing PowerPoint presentations nad we created a leaflet about top attractions of Upper Silesia. We also had a look at all those materials our Czech friends sent us. We were also trying to read some Czech names but next time we'll be more successful at it:-) It was nice to see your sites!

Czech students are celebrating

This is the first success and we will go on to finish our project the best possible way. I wish all of you HAPPY EASTER and get new strength for our work
