Solkan Primary School, Slovenia, e-twinning project, by Villjenka Šavli, 2008

Collaborative projects, a successful path to cultural understanding

The project was integrated into curricula

Our class 4 (students aged 10) joined the project with more than 14 partners and worked together on the topic in cross curricula way at:

• Art• Mother tongue• English• Drama• ICT• Science

Learning about cultures through emotions.

It was fun creating footprints and handprints

Discussion about emotions was interesting

Next we moved to computer lab and used tools for drawing feelings

Boys made scary faces

We usede Freehand tool and Easy gifanimator to show feelings

Then drama time happened with old gloves and socks

We created e-dictionary with voice files to learn 6 languages

Songs and esseys were written about feelings

Happiness and LuckHappiness and luckAre like big gift sack.The happy onesWould like to hug the world.

Who wants to share it, Conquers our heartsAnd never is alone.Happiness and luck,

Are two precious pearlsThat in today's angry evil world

make miracles occur.By Mihaela

We observed family members and described their feelings

HappinessMy mum is happy when our

whole family is at home, when

my brother and I are diligent

and if I get a good mark at

school. You can see she is

happy because her eyes are full

of sparkles and I can feel her

tender fingers in my hair.By Matic

We created e-exercises about feelings

Playtime with Lieven’s cards followed
