May 2026 – Celebrating What Unites Us- Europe Day

In May, the Year 3 pupils of the 2nd Primary School of Malesina, together with their teacher, Ioanna Sarrou, celebrated Europe Day by participating in a creative workshop inspired by the title of our eTwinning project, "Celebrating What Unites Us."

The aim of this activity was to help students reflect on the values that unite the people of Europe, such as friendship, cooperation, peace, respect, equality, and solidarity.

To celebrate this special day, our pupils first designed the letters of our project title on a large scale. They then filled each letter with vibrant colours, creative patterns, and meaningful drawings that symbolized unity, diversity, and European friendship. Through their artistic creations, the children expressed their vision of a Europe where people work together, respect one another, and celebrate their cultural diversity.

This creative workshop gave the students the opportunity to express their ideas freely, develop their artistic skills, and reflect on the importance of belonging to a united European community. Their colourful artwork became a beautiful symbol of the message that, although we come from different countries and cultures, we share common values and a common future.

Celebrating Europe Day was a meaningful and enjoyable experience that encouraged our students to appreciate the richness of Europe's cultural diversity while recognizing everything that brings us together. This activity was a wonderful conclusion to our eTwinning journey, reminding us that together we shine beyond borders.

May 2026 –  GAME BANK

In May, the Year 3 pupils of the 2nd Primary School of Malesina, participated in a fun and interactive activity as part of our eTwinning project by sharing traditional games from their countries.

The aim of this activity was to help students discover the cultural heritage of their European partners through play while promoting cooperation, communication, and intercultural understanding.

 

 

Our class presented the traditional Greek game "Rock, Paper, Scissors" (Petra – Psalidi – Harti), one of the most popular games played by children in Greece. The students explained the rules of the game and demonstrated how it is played. They shared that each player secretly chooses one of three symbols—rock, paper, or scissors—and reveals it at the same time. The winner is decided according to the following rules: Rock beats Scissors, Scissors beat Paper, and Paper beats Rock. If both players choose the same symbol, the game ends in a draw and another round is played.

 

 

In return, our Romanian partners introduced us to their traditional game called "Breads." Our students were excited to learn the rules of this new game and enjoyed playing it in the classroom. They had great fun comparing the two games and discovering how traditional games can bring children together, regardless of the country they come from.

Through this activity, the pupils explored different cultural traditions, developed their communication and collaboration skills, and realized that games are a universal language that connects children all over the world. Sharing and playing each other's traditional games was a joyful experience that strengthened our friendship with our European partners and made our eTwinning journey even more enjoyable.

 April 2026 – Interviewing Our European Friends

 

In April, , the Year 3 pupils of the 2nd Primary School of Malesina, participated in an engaging collaborative activity as part of our eTwinning project, focusing on communication and cultural exchange.

The activity began in the national teams, where the students worked together to think of interesting questions they would like to ask their European partners. The questions were discussed in the classroom, and the best ones were selected to create a common interview guide.

Using this interview guide, the partner schools carried out interviews with one another. Our class exchanged questions with the students from Romania. We received their questions and answered them by creating a video, in which our pupils introduced themselves and shared information about their school, daily life, traditions, hobbies, and country. Likewise, the Romanian students answered the questions we had prepared for them, allowing us to learn more about their lives and culture.

 

This activity gave our students the opportunity to practice their English communication skills in a meaningful context while developing their confidence, collaboration, and digital skills. They were excited to interact with children from another European country and to discover both the similarities and the differences between their everyday lives.

The interview exchange was a valuable and enjoyable learning experience that strengthened the bonds between our partner schools and promoted friendship, mutual respect, and intercultural understanding. Through this activity, our students realized that communication is the key to building strong relationships and bringing people closer together, regardless of the distance between them.

March 2026 – The Wheel of Challenges

 

 

In March, the Year 3 pupils of the 2nd Primary School of Malesina, together with their teacher, Ioanna Sarrou, participated in another exciting collaborative activity of our eTwinning project entitled "The Wheel of Challenges."

The aim of this activity was to encourage students to learn more about the cultures, traditions, and languages of their European partners through fun and interactive challenges.

Each pair of partner schools worked together to create a Wheel of Challenges. The wheel included questions and activities related to the culture, customs, traditions, language, landmarks, and everyday life of the partner country. By spinning the wheel, the students completed different challenges, discovering interesting facts and learning more about the countries participating in our project.

Our pupils enthusiastically took part in the activity, working collaboratively, exchanging ideas, and exploring the unique characteristics of different European cultures. They enjoyed solving the challenges while improving their communication, critical thinking, and teamwork skills.

The Wheel of Challenges transformed learning into an enjoyable game, motivating students to explore Europe's rich cultural diversity in a creative and engaging way. Through this activity, they strengthened their intercultural awareness, broadened their knowledge, and realized that learning about other countries helps us understand, respect, and appreciate one another.

This activity was another valuable experience in our eTwinning journey, bringing us even closer to our European friends and proving once again that learning is more meaningful when we learn together.
