Happy European Day of Languages 2012: a video.

       Dear students who took part to the project Happy European Day of Languages 2012,

 here is a video reporting each phase of the project, all the posters you've created and a short "thank you" video realized by the students of Lugnano in behalf of all you saying thank you in the different languages of the project. The pronunciation is not perfect because we don't know all the languages!

The students were really happy to get a lot of posters from all the countries involved  and enthusiastic of taking part to this project. Together with my colleague we involved 5 groups of students and we managed to create 5 posters, one in each classroom. All of them had the chance to see where each country is on the map and at the same time realize how big but how close all the countries are. We could see many different languages but also a lot of similar words. We really are a big community and we are happy of being part of it! 

So we do love Europe for this. 

Let's "e-Twin"!

The school year has just started and we are ready to start our four eTwinning projects too.

We have started with the first one that is "Happy European Day of Languages!".

This project wants to celebrate the European Day of Language (26th September) and students will send messages and postcards to other students of 85 different European schools and will receive postcards from all these school as well. In the message we wrote:

 "Hello friends!

We live in.......(city/town) in.......(country) and we speak ........(language)

Our school's name is........ (name of your school).

Happy European Day of languages! We love Europe!

Bye bye"

This message was written in Italian and we'll receive messages in many languages so we'll realize how many different languages European citizens speak.

After having written the message and decorated it the students cut and pasted addresses on envelopes, put stamps and sent the letters. They had fun and also learnt how to organize an envelope, and reviewed the names of the European countries and their nationalities.
