December 2025 – Exchanging Letters and Building Friendships

 

 

In December, the Year 3 pupils of the 2nd Primary School of Malesina, participated in another meaningful activity of our eTwinning project by exchanging letters with their European partners.

The aim of this activity was to encourage communication, friendship, and cultural exchange among children from different countries. Each student wrote a personal letter introducing themselves, their family, their hobbies, their school, and their daily life. They also included drawings and creative decorations to make their letters more personal and enjoyable.

Receiving letters from their partners was an exciting experience. The students were eager to read about the lives, interests, and traditions of children from another country and to discover both the similarities and the differences between them.

Through this activity, the pupils developed their writing and communication skills in English, strengthened their confidence in using a foreign language, and improved their creativity and social skills. Most importantly, they experienced the true meaning of friendship, respect, and cooperation beyond national borders.

The letter exchange was a wonderful opportunity to create meaningful connections with our European partners and reminded our students that, although we live in different countries, we share the same dreams, interests, and values. This activity brought us even closer together and made our eTwinning journey even more special.

December 2025 – Creating Our Own Project Song

 

 

In December, the Year 3 pupils of the 2nd Primary School of Malesina, took part in a creative and enjoyable activity as part of our eTwinning project.

The aim of this activity was to create an original song that would reflect the values and spirit of our project. The students shared ideas, discussed meaningful words and messages, and worked together to compose lyrics about friendship, cooperation, respect for diversity, peace, and unity.

With great enthusiasm and creativity, our class created its own original song, expressing the importance of working together and building friendships beyond borders. The song was then shared with our project partners, alongside the songs created by the other participating schools.

This activity gave our students the opportunity to express themselves through music, develop their creativity, and strengthen their collaboration and communication skills. Most importantly, it helped them understand that music is a universal language that brings people together, regardless of their country or culture.

Creating our own song was a memorable experience for everyone. The students were proud of their work and excited to share it with their European friends, making this activity one of the highlights of our eTwinning journey.

November 2025 – Discovering Portugal Through Our “Cultural Suitcase” Activity


  In November, the Grade 3 students of the 2nd Primary School of Malesina, together with their teacher, Ioanna Sarrou, took part in the second collaborative activity of our eTwinning project.

The activity, entitled "Cultural Suitcase", aimed to help students explore the culture and traditions of the countries participating in the project through a creative and interactive learning experience.

Our class had the opportunity to discover Portugal. The students searched for information about the Portuguese flag, famous landmarks, traditional food, music, customs, and other interesting aspects of Portuguese culture. Inspired by what they learned, they created beautiful drawings depicting Portugal's landmarks, traditions, and cultural symbols. Their artwork, together with the information they had collected, became part of our digital Cultural Suitcase, which was shared with our project partners.

Through this activity, the students expanded their knowledge of another European country, developed their research, collaboration, and creative expression skills, and became more familiar with the use of digital tools. Drawing what they had learned helped them better understand and appreciate Portugal's rich cultural heritage in an enjoyable and meaningful way.

The Cultural Suitcase activity was a wonderful learning experience that promoted respect for cultural diversity, creativity, teamwork, and European citizenship. It was another successful step in our eTwinning journey, proving once again that "Beyond Borders, Together We Shine."

    October 2025 – Our First eTwinning Activity:    Europe Code Week

The 2nd Primary School of Malesina, with the students of Grade 3 and their teacher, Ioanna Sarrou, proudly launched its eTwinning journey by participating in the first collaborative activity of our project during Europe Code Week.

The main objective of this activity was to develop students' computational thinking, creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving skills through an engaging coding challenge.

Working together with our partner school, the students created a coded message, which they encoded and exchanged with their partners. They then received a coded message in return and worked collaboratively to decode it by using logical thinking, observation, and teamwork.

This unplugged coding activity provided an enjoyable and meaningful learning experience. It introduced students to basic coding concepts without the use of computers while encouraging communication, cooperation, and critical thinking. At the same time, it gave them the opportunity to interact with their European peers and experience the true spirit of international collaboration through eTwinning.

Our first project activity was a great success. The students were enthusiastic, actively involved, and excited to discover the hidden messages exchanged with their partner school. It was a wonderful beginning to our eTwinning project and an inspiring way to celebrate Europe Code Week.

We are looking forward to many more exciting activities and collaborations throughout our eTwinning journey!
