Last Wednesday we celebrated Carnival in our school. We recorded a video to show you the main aspects of this celebration. This year the topic was our Erasmus programme.

In the Erasmus+ project, we work on the Earth theme. The pupils are divaded into two groups. One examines Finland`s green gold, forests and another topic is thousands of lakes. The group are mixed with 3-6-classes students (aged between 9-12 years old). This is one of our school�s multi-disciplinary learning set. T he new curriculum sets up to 1-2 multi-disciplinary learning set per semester. At the same time we teachers observe the pupils�skills. We use the S.A.T. (School Evaluation Tool) is the main tool of this Erasmus+ project. 

This time, the theme is earth. We have three countries in this Erasmus project which are located around the Baltic Sea. For this reason, Poland, Lithuania and Finland have decided to cooperate. Each country will focus more on 1-2 topics which are typical of the country.  Poland: Mountains and hills , Lithuania: Flat land and Finland: Forrests and thousands of lakes . We had the first Skype-connection yesterday and our students were part of this connection. This project includes also skills and S.A.T. evaluation matrix.

Spanish kids replied to Italian kids The 6th grade italian kids were really thrilled to receive a reply from the Spanish kids.

The challenge of building Cross-Curricular Teaching Units involve everybody. For every initiative there is always a driver-team that will get the new input into the rest of the school-staff.   Brainstorming around the theme "Earth" and the possible interactions by different subjects approaches. The group also talked about skills and the S.A.T. evaluation matrix. The S.A.T (School Evaluation Tool) is the main tool of this Erasmus+ project. 

The other day in class, one student asked about interesting facts about the Romanina flag and the meaning of its three colours. So, we thougt that it would be a good idea to ask to our Romanian partners and this is the result....Our Erasmus' friends prepared us a video with the explanation: https://vimeo.com/255819599 We couldnt be more grateful.
