Introduce yourself

Second and third year students will be part of etwinning projects and the first thing they need to do is to introduce themselves.
Last year I created this mind map on this subject that is useful to give you ideas on how to carry out this activity.
Moreover I will ask you to introduce yourself at school in a short speech.
So, please have a look at it and let us know you better.

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.

Here is the map of all the schools that take part in this project.

Let's start

And today we've officially started a new school year.
The students of classes II and III A welcomed first year students showing and telling them all about what they did last year and the middle school is like.

They told them about the projects and the beautiful activities and also that it's important to study, do homework and get involved in all the school works.

Our new headmaster came to visit us and wished a happy school year to everybody.

And we are happy to welcome him in our school and we are also sure we'll work together very well.

Happy school year!

Welcome back!

welcome

Tomorrow we'll start school again and we'll do a lot of things this school year, so ... happy school year everybody!
