Preparation for the "Table game"

This is how our Comenius team is preparing for the „Table game“.

Every Wednesday, since early morning the students gather in the library and begin to read books, search information on the internet, debate, discuss and prepare questions about the water. The students are eager to know more and more. They are certain that water is essential for a person‘s good mood, health. Without water it would be impossible to exist for any living being,  as water is the spring of life.

While preparing for the game, students got aware of the importance of water for our planet. They found out how to recognise drinkable and undrinkable water, what are the qualities of a drinkable water, the dangers of polluting, the use of water, aquatic vegetation. Our students will use all their knowledge while preparing the „table game“ and we hope to have a great time while playing it during our next meeting.

Hola, Ferrol!

Hello,
My name is Vilma and I am a Comenius assistant in Ferrol in Instituto de Ensenanza Secundaria Concepcion Arenal. I will stay here until middle of June. Galicia welcomed me in warmer way than I expected. I mean not only the weather, but also a warm welcome in my school. I enjoy my first meetings with teachers and students and I am looking forward to contribute my knowledge and experience in the learning process. Ferrol is a nice and cozy city and I already start to feel here like at home.
In Lithuania it is already snowing....

Welcoming Vilma

Last Monday Vilma Berontaite, our Comenius assistant, arrived to Ferrol. She is from Lithuania and she speaks English and Spanish very well. This week we had several meetings with her to show her our school and to plan her schedule for this  year. She is going to support both English classes and activities of our project. Next Tuesday will be her first day with our Comenius students. We hope this year  is very fruitful for both her and our Comenius team.

New meeting of our Comenius project

Today, the teachers Mª José Campello and Paco Gallego and the students Andrea , Roque, Marta and Irene of 2nd of ESO left for Turkey  to meet the others schools involved in our program.  This is the fourth meeting we held and they are going to spend five days in Kayseri, the town where the Turkish school is located. The works for this meeting are legends and stories related to water. Ten legends and stories were written by our students.
We are sure these days are going to be fabulous because Turkish people are very very friendly.

Good news for our Comenius team

This week we have been given some good news, next school year we are going to have a Comenius Assistant here with us. She is a Lithuanian teacher named Vilma. Elena Yáñez one of our English teachers will be her mentor. They were in touch by email and Vilma is very interested in this program. I think she will be a breath of fresh air in our Comenius project. She will arrive in October, but I'm looking forward to knowing her.
