Everyday Situations Diary

Christmas is a wonderful time of the year when we send greeting cards and wishes to everyone. Through our Christmas greeting we want to show our eTwinning partners we care and are thinking of them during this important time of year.

BEST WISHES TO ALL OF YOU!!!

Today December 4th, a video conference between Spanish and Polish eTwinning partners was held at school. It was a great pleasure to share this experience, see our faces and hear our voices. Due to time restrictions we tried to organized the conference into five parts. These were:

1. Getting to know each other through questions:

2. Learning phrases in different languages: English, Spanish, Polish and German:

3. Describing pictures taken by the Polish partners:

4. Singing songs in Spanish and Polish:

5. Singing Christmas carols in Spanish and Polish, and both countries in English:

Since we all had such a great time exchanging thoughts and knowledge, we are eagerly looking forward to our next video conference.

Last but not least thanks to everyone (students, teachers and ITs) for your cooperation and hard work.

One way to let everybody at school know the project we are involved with this year is just decorating one of the school walls.

This is the video we got from Ireland. They organized an activity to celebrate The European Day of Languages, on September 26th:

Once registered on twinspace,  the students were asked to write their profiles using the foreign language they are learning at school and upload a picture so that the other European students could meet them.

Here are some examples of our students' profiles:

• Ciara Rock, Ireland

Salesian College Copsewood Pallaskenry Co Limerick

• Marta Fernández Meneses, Spain

IES Cuatro Caminos Don Benito Badajoz

Kharkiv Gymnasium nº82 Kharkiv

• Ewa Olszewska, Poland

I Liceum Ogólnokształcace im. H. Sienkiewicza Swiebodzin

• Mª José Lombraña de los Ríos, Italy

IIS Carlo Alberto Dalla Chiesa Sesto Calende Varese

• Julio de la Cruz Sosa and Susan Gardner, United Kingdom

The King's School Pontefract

The project will consist of four videos about some typical everyday situations recorded in the different languages our students are learning: English, Spanish, German and French. The situations could be ordering food and drinks in a restaurant, asking information about train timetables, looking for a job and asking directions. They should be recorded in real settings and we would use the same dialogues translated into different languages.
