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
