eTwinning

In our class we are doing an eTwinning project. eTwinning is when other schools in the EU communicate with you using Twin Space on a special website for projects. First we agreed to participate in a project called Thick as Thieves. The title means that we are very,very friendly with each other. There are five school participating in our project. They are from the following places Bilbao Spain, Tanus France, Limnos Greece and a school in Helsinki Finland.

It's great fun to be able to communicate with other people in a different country. For the project our class is divided into four groups and each group is working with a different country, but we can still get to communicate with other people in the other schools. Sometimes we go to the computer room to reply to our friends in a different country. I'm working with the school in France Tanus. I've got messages from Emily, Rania and Demmie. We are even able to log in to it at home. It's really good I'm looking forward to talking to them after Christmas.

We made Christmas card to send to our eTwinning friends. The collage will give you an idea of some of the cards that we sent.

Making Christmas Cards

On Tuesday members of the Parents’ Association came to our class to help us make Christmas cards. They brought special card, pictures of Christmas scenes and diamante to use as decoration. We used double sided tape to stick them all on.

We had many different types of pictures to choose from such as pictures of Santa and pictures of snowmen. The diamante came in many different sizes from small to large. We used them to decorate our cards.

Thanks to Sally, Gwen, Ashley, Helen and Jacinta from the Parents’ Association for all their help and for the materials for making the cards . In the end all the cards turned out to be brilliant.
