A bit of Geography

This week we've learnt a bit about the countries in our project - we worked with a map and flags.

 

Our School

Our School

We go to Bystrzejowice Primary School. It is in the east of Poland, near Lublin. It isn't a very big school. There are 312 students at our school.

Celebrating National Independence Day

National Independence Day is a public holiday in Poland celebrated every year on 11 November. It commemorates the anniversary of the restoration of Poland's sovereignty in 1918, after 123 years of partition by Russia, Prussia and Austria. It is celebrated as a nationwide holiday - people hang national flags, there are independence marches.

In our school we watched a performance, sang patriotic songs, and created white-and-red rosettes.

Our class (IVa) is just in the middle - great boys and only one girl :-)

The Magic of Books on the Map

Let's see where exactly we are from....

About the project

"Books are a uniquely portable magic” Stephen King.

We believe that reading for pleasure is one of the best ways for a child to improve his or her performance at school. In our project we want to explore the world of books together and share our favourite ones. Children will be encouraged to read more and treasure books.

The aim of the project is to promote reading; encourage students to read books and enjoy reading more; to create a positive attitude towards reading; to share information about favourite books; to broaden the horizons and expand students’ cultural and linguistic knowledge; to develop children's creativity and ICT skills.

Work process

Our cooperation is going to concern the following topics: 

• presenting students and their schools,  
• a bit of geography (working with the map and calculating how far we live from each other; making a signpost showing the names of towns and countries together with kilometers,
• making a logo for our project,
• my favourite book – sharing why children like them, reading aloud to other students an exciting passage from the chosen book, drawing or writing some information about the books,
• books related activities (making an interpretation of a book by drawings, drama, mini-plays, stories, comic strips),
• creating A Magic Book about our work and publishing it on Twinspace and our blog,
• evaluation of the project.

The project is going to last 3 - 4 months.

Expected results

Children get in touch with their friends from other countries; We will instill the love of reading in students; Their writing and ICT skills get improved and their cultural and linguistic knowledge is expanded; A Magic Book about our work published on Twinspace and our blog.
