Today we had another really nice setting as a classroom. It was very inspiring to work on a small, beautiful island. Today's topic were the key competences, and we had already worked on them in the earlier days. It was very interesting to hear everyone's plans on their topics. We got a good selection of different ways to work on a forest setting wtih the key competences. Many of the ideas are easy to transfer to use in everyone's own country and school.

Today was again “just another day in paradise”.  I wish that I could always plan my lessons in such an inspiring place as the rainforest yesterday and share my ideas with such a positive, supportive, innovative and adventurous group of people. And I wouldn’t mind working more often on an island like Ilet de Gosier.

It was great to hear the practical ideas from other participants and get lesson plan motifs, which I can develop further for my students and with my colleagues back home. Thank you all!
The key competences are very important when filling in any EU-project form and the guidelines given in the booklet will definitely be useful in the future as well!

Today was another amazing day with inspiration and emotions! Inspiration fro my colleagues with the most amazing ideas covering all key competences that I can freely use in my classses a lot! I am more of a geograpghy and culture teacher than pure language tutor and this suits me so well.
It also made me think about other competences that we already learn and teach in our school and it is nothing more than we do daily. Rita explained so many things in simple ways and it occurred to me that we as professionals do a lot of work every day and don't even realize it.
The final task was French quizz- amazing results for me! Kidding! No... my favourite singer is Celine Dion and she is French Canadian and listening to her songs has taught me some French expressions and meanings as well as paying attention in daily life to what French people speak. It was great!

Ilet Gosier  - another small but beautiful island was our classroom today. We disscused about key competences. Everyone presented a lesson plan with particular activities that define one of the eight key competences that we learnt in the rainforest. It was a good opportunity to hear how others would teach their competence in the rainforest using internationalization as well. I got many ideas for my lessons. Thanks everyone for sharing!
We had also French lunguage quiz.That was challanging! I have understood that it is not easy language for me.

Todays cute little island was perfect place to study. We had again place for all our senses. After having explored the island we started to tell examples of all eight key competences that we had shared one for each. Everyone had to tell how they would teach their competence in the rainforest we visited yesterday.  We have same eight key competences in our latest curriculum, but is always have new ideas. I regognized that for me languages, math, science and IT skills were the easiest competences to teach in the surrounding that we had. But colleagues had great ideas of making also the other competences intresting and instructive for students. Last thing that I remember from todays class was that I should always explain for the student why they are learning certain things.

„Why?“

Rita told us that when teaching the competence Learning to learn one should not only think of the WHAT but also always of the WHY. That made me think, and so far I have come to the conclusion that I don‘t fully agree with her on that.

Of course, as teachers we constantly have to make decisions since we always face various didactic and methodological choices and we should know why we teach the way we teach. This is what I’d call our professional tools. And, of course, it‘s very motivating for us as well as the students when we/they have a specific goal in mind that we/they want to reach. But on the other hand, questioning everything instead of just giving it a go may also stop one from making new experiences, overcoming limits, learning more about oneself. So maybe sometimes less thinking (why?) and more doing (why not!) would finally lead to lots of answers.

I‘m sorry if that sounds strange to you. I must admit, I haven‘t thought it through completely yet ;).

Ilet de Gosier was a beautiful place for a classroom. I really liked the place where we had our representations of our lessons that had a focus on key competences. It was nice to see that if we have to make an activity, you can get all key competences included in it if you expand your way to see things. I also noticed that for me some of these key competences are easy to approach but some of competences are hard. I should definitely orientate myself more on social and civic competences and to an ability to readily and easily communicate with mother tongue. It was interesting to hear the ideas that Jolanta and Melita had about these key competences.

Today we visited Ilet de Gosier and got to share our project plans for the different key competences. The others had thought of great things to do in the rainforest! The expert group idea and also taking different roles to debate is something we could use in class for many things. It's always nice to hear practical ideas from other teachers as quite often I get stuck with the same ideas and ways of thinking. I got many fresh ideas today that I can try out in practice when I get back home! 👍
We also talked with the others today during the breaks about how they choose the participants for the Erasmus projects and how they write their application. In our school two people write the application for everyone after the first meeting when we discuss the theme for the European development plan. In some schools everyone interested in joining the KA1 projects participate in the application writing process. Maybe this could be something we should discuss or try out at our school next year.

Ile Gosier was again a perfect classroom for the day. Everybody shared their ideas for teaching and learning keycompetences for a group of students in the  rainforest. My ideas were about the sense of initiative and entrepreneourship. All of these ideas about learning keycompetences can be used as a base for projects, within subjects or phenomen based learning sessions. The teachers had planned many new ways of teaching these skills to students.

I think I ended up taking initiative at planning new teacher training courses with Rita. This was very nice and I think something nice will come out it. With the help from Rita I already have exchanged ideas about the course with a teacher from the Neatherlands. 😊 I have also tried to find a parner school for future ka2 project from Guadeloupe. Let's see if how things will turn out in the future.

With one topic we can do activities to develop all competences our students as global citizens should have. Our topic was rainforest and we prepared the activities in it, but I am sure that we can use most of them on some other topic as well. We did a very good job, because each of us did one’s homework really well. And now we all have most of the important issues for our next project. It’s good to give divide tasks between different people, because then they really try hard on their part of the job.
We are all good students because we learn how to learn. And I hope that my colleagues at school will also understand that these are the things that we are already doing, we just have to become aware of them, recognize them and connect them with internationalisation. I would very much like to carry the idea in my school, that all the work doesn’t need to be done between the four walls, that we can be very productive also outside of them. Sometimes maybe even more.
And I want, I need to learn, to practise French, that's why I need a course in French in a new project...
