I loved working on this project. It was my first eTwinning experience and I loved every part of it, from learning so many new things, tools and processes to the friendly banter we exchanged and the friendships we created. It helped me to stay focused and hard-working during this difficult situation we are all experiencing and it gave me hope that the only way is always forward and kindness is the key. I will miss it all and I hope that we will meet again and create more successful projects together. I wish you all the best, stay strong and stay healthy!

Chapter 11
When the animals arrive at the festival site, they see a huge meadow full of animals. There are animals from all over the world and they are all singing and rehearsing their songs for their performance.

Our group of friends is excited to see so much commotion and merriness everywhere. They are excited to start their rehearsals, but there is one problem: the festival stage is at the other side of the meadow, how will their new friends dolphins sing with them from the lake?

They start to despair when the lion gets an idea. "We can dig a water channel for them and help them to come closer to the stage! Everyone of us will help and we can do it!" says the lion.

Immediately they all set to work and start digging, while the dolphins cheer them with their laughter and happy whistles from the lake.

It is a hard and strenuous work, but they do their best. Suddenly they see a crowd of ants carrying wooden logs and helping them to build the channel banks. They cannot believe what they see - the water channel grows right before their eyes, as a log after a log appears and builds the water channel for their dolphin friends. They reach the stage in no time! The elephant removes the last soil between the lake and the water channel and the water rushes in. The dolphins can swim happily right to the stage and sing with them!!! They jump and do flips in the air, so happy they are able to be there! A crowd of exhausted but satisfied animal friends sits down on the channel banks and they can finally start to rehearse their Lion song. But first they have to thank their new hardworking friends - the ants.

"Thank you dear friends! We would not manage so quickly without you. Hard work is the key to the success."

The ants are all standing in front of them in a formation and they can see smiles on their tiny faces. They cannot sing with them because their voices are weak, but they clap their hands and the clapping of thousands of tiny hands creates a rhythm that leads their song.

Finally their band is complete! The concert can start.

“It’s okay to have a different nose. It’s okay to have wheels. It’s okay to be a different color. It’s okay to wear glasses. It’s okay to come from a different place. It’s okay to dance by yourself. It’s okay to come in last. It’s okay to talk about your feelings. It’s okay to have an invisible friend. It’s okay to have no hair. It’s okay to be adopted. It’s okay to have different moms or dads. It’s okay to say “no” to bad things. It’s okay to be embarassed. It’s okay to have different kinds of friends. It’s okay to be different. You are special and important just beacuse of being who you are.”

Slovakia doesn't celebrate the International days of Kindness and Tolerance, but we celebrate the month of October as The month to Honor elderly citizens. As this year everything is different and many old people are alone due to Covid measurements and lockdown, our school decided to do something special for the elderly of Šenkvice. Pupils drew pictures and wrote letters to their grandparents, and to those living alone, and our local post office arranged to go from door to door and deliver these beautiful drawings and greetings. Our children recorded a song and a 'See you soon, dear grandma, dear grandpa!' message and our local broadcasting system played it in our village for everyone. It was very heart-warming and we received great feedback, words of joy and gratitude. I'm very happy, that our school and our local community came together in these trying times and enjoyed kind feelings and messages of love, even though physically apart.
