The Taste of Christmas

In October, the Year 4 and Year 5 students started an European project called "The taste of Christmas". There were 7 European countries in it: Italy, Greece, Turkey, Romania, Poland, UK and Spain.

We started the project making a video introducing  ourselves and our school. Then we made a contest to give a logo for the project, and I have to say that 2 of our logos were among the most voted :).

After that, we made Christmas cards to send to the other countries, and we received the cards made by our partners in the project. It was wery exciting to open the envelopes and see the cards made by the children of the other schools.

Another part of the project was to create an ebook about Spanish Christmas traditions. Every country did the same, and we learned a lot of different customs and traditions of Christmas around Europe.

We also recorded some Christmas carols to be send to the partner countries. We sang "Silent Night" in English and in Spanish, and "El noi de la mare", a traditional Valencian carol. 

In the last part of the project we had to make Christmas comics and to follow up stories created by the other countries.

You can see the stories here:

We have enjoyed and learned a lot about Christmas around Europe, and the children have had the possibility to be in contact with children of other countries. A very positive and enriching experience to repeat
