Happy New Year: Back to School

Year 2008 has started and school resumes after Christmas. The teachers working in this project, both Camilla Carlsson ( Mimers Hus Gymnasium)and Josefina Martín (IES Huerta Alta) welcome you all to this blog.

After the first three months working together there's a lot already done and many more activities to be done in the future. At first we were getting to know each other via email, forums(presentation and hobbies forums) and creating photo folders about ourselves. Not all the students have worked at the same level but there are three things we want them to develop: their sense of belonging to a e-learning comunity and at the same time using ICT in a meaningful way and everything by means of a second language which is English for the Spanish and Spanish for the Swedish students.

On a second stage we moved on to Christmas Activities, students have issued a series of files in which they have written their favourite Christmas songs (villancicos), food and traditions both in Sweden and in Spain.

In between students have been doing some of the exercises about Europe on the links added to this same blog, we should not forget the European dimension of the present project.

Since there is no possibility to upload files on the blog the only possibility to have a look at their work is entering the etwinning web. A fine piece of work it has been!

More activities about Europe

As you all enjoyed activities about Europe posted before, I have decided that it is very important for you getting to know much more about it. European -Mosaic Learning together is a website about Europe: Geography, History,Flags, Anthems (Hym), population, capital cities... Play the games and learn as much as you want!

Christmas Across Europe

Cultures around Europe have very different traditions at Christmas. All of them convey a message about tolerance, love, understanding and celebrating cultural differences and similarities. We invite you to enjoy a Christmas journey through Europe!

Look this website where you can make your own ideas about homework you are preparing for Christmas.

CHRISTMAS ACTIVITIES

Hello students! Christmas is coming and we all want to show our Swedish friends what we traditionally do these days. That is why we have to prepare:

- An essay in which you write about how Christmas is at your home, which are the most important days(traditions), what do you usually do, eat or celebrate. Remember to be concise and write it in English and Spanish for our friends.

- Write a popular Spanish Christmas song

- Write a popular Spanish Christmas recipe (in a simple way so that our friends in Sweeden can try and make it)

- Take photos: at home, from Alhaurin de la Torre streets Christmas decoration We will create a CMS at eTwinning Twinspace to show it all.
