Children listen to the Easter-themed song in English and progressively learn the lyrics through repetition and guided practice.

# data[].attributes.body
Children are invited to invent simple dance movements to accompany the song, collaboratively defining a choreography.

Choosing between two models (chick or bunny) the children personalized their masks

# data[].attributes.body
After reflecting on the song's themes, children create personalized Easter cards using mixed media (drawing, writing, collage).

# data[].attributes.body
We had to think a lot about what to draw for our Spanish friends, because we wanted to depict the images related to the video of the song, and drawing Easter bunnies is difficult!

# data[].attributes.body
The cover of the cards was decorated with Easter eggs painted and cut out by the children

just before sending the greeting cards: obviously the photo has been modified with AI to protect our privacy, but the drawings are the same!

# data[].attributes.body
We walked to the local post office to mail our greeting cards to our Spanish friends. Andrea held the letter in his hand along the way

# data[].attributes.body
When the gentleman finished shipping our package, he handed us a note

# data[].attributes.body
The post office is very close to our school, but many of us had never been there.

# data[].attributes.body
Andrea never ditched the envelope

# data[].attributes.body
The post office is a place full of people talking at the counter with the man who works at the post office. We had to wait for yonks. Some of us sat on chairs that are in the post office. Andrea continued to hold the envelope...

# data[].attributes.body
In the end, however, Sofia went to the counter to speak to the gentleman... she was very professional

# data[].attributes.body
... and let's be clear once and for all: we couldn't stand those masks: they were very uncomfortable and we couldn't see well when we were dancing... so any errors in our performance are to be blamed on the masks

# data[].attributes.body
In the meantime, while we were waiting for the letter from Leòn's friends, we were practicing singing and dancing...

(In the photo you can see how exhausted we were)

# data[].attributes.body
The letters from Leon have arrived and we are very excited!

Our teachers give one to each child, so we can look at them and findout the name of our Spanish friend.

# data[].attributes.body
There is also a special letter for italian children and teachers.

We discovered that even the Spanish children had fun preparing the letters for us.

# data[].attributes.body
Since we don't want to forget our new friends, we hung their letter in the school entrance.

# data[].attributes.body
At the end of the experience, we had a chat to remember what we did and what we liked or didn't like.

# data[].attributes.body
Each child received a small stone to use as a voting token. A voting booth was set up behind a piece of furniture to simulate an election-style experience. The children were invited to place their stone in one of two containers:

one labeled with a smiling face: "I like",

and the other with a sad face: "I don't like".

This was a playful way to assess the project while also reinforcing vocabulary learned during the month of May in our English lessons — especially the expressions "like" and "don’t like".

# data[].attributes.body
✅ 10 children voted “I like”

❌ 2 children voted “I don’t like”

🚫 1 child was absent on the day of the evaluation

# data[].attributes.body
Once we knew the song that our italian friends were going to share with us, we tried to chose a different song, related to Easter, so we could have more variety.

# data[].attributes.body
Since the song sings the actions, children were invited to pretend they were bunnies, so they had to move as the song was saying.

# data[].attributes.body
When children came in the classroom early in the morning, they found a white envelope on the table.

After reading some of the words, they found out that there were the cards from their Italian friends!

Teachers gave a card to each child and the first thing they did was try to read the names. Some of them sounded similar to Spanish and others, sounded completely different.

They were VERY happy!

# data[].attributes.body
Now we had our moves of the song ready, it was time to decorated the cards that we're going to be send.

The teacher Marta created a card using Canva Education. Children decorated the Easter word and the easter eggs, and on the other side of the card, they had to draw something related to easter and the song they danced the previous days.

# data[].attributes.body
Once the cards were decorated, teacher Marta went to the post office to send them by post. We also added a greeting letter to our friends. We were so excited both about sending and receiving the cards!

Our Italian friends worked so hard to create such beautiful Easter cards!

Children were happy to read the names of their Italian friends

Each card was different so children could explain to their classmates what was drawn on their cards.

To evaluate the eTwinning project, each child had to color a worksheet.

There were 3 actions shown with its pictogram and the word. If they liked the activity or they found it easy to make, children had to color the happy face green. If they didn't like the activity or they found it very hard or difficult to make, they had to color the sad face red.

Only 1/15 colored red the dancing session.

Only 1/15 colored red the card creation session.

15/15 colored green the receiving cards session.
