1. So far, I have participated in 2 eTwinning projects and have created a penpal link through eTwinning. Our classes have exchanged postcards to explain what is in our local area. 
2.  I am a qualified dance teacher and use this qualification in my job. I teach our primary children to dance and take them to perform at our local theatre.
3. In terms of project based learning, I love creating maths problem solving projects to get my year 3's brains working!]]> 2018-11-22 14:02:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ediamond4/gettoknowme/wish/307032732 ediamond4 https://padlet.com/ediamond4/gettoknowme/wish/307106406 1. Reading 
I love to read! My favourite thing to do is sit in a quiet room with my favorite book. Every Friday, my class and I spend 30 minutes reading one of our favourite books. The boys and girls love it!

2. Running
I love running, particularly in the Lake District, which is a National Park in the UK. I love breathtaking sights and love to stop to grab a quick photo! ]]> 2018-11-22 19:47:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ediamond4/gettoknowme/wish/307106406 ediamond4 https://padlet.com/ediamond4/gettoknowme/wish/307106911 If I wasn't a teacher, I would love to be a photographer for National Geographic]]> 2018-11-22 19:50:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ediamond4/gettoknowme/wish/307106911 ediamond4 https://padlet.com/ediamond4/gettoknowme/wish/308381409 After reading all of your comments in the 'innovative experiences' forum, I have reflected upon on my own practice and have decided to focus on the following things:

1. I would like to increase children's knowledge and awareness of countries within the World. I would love to create a project where schools from around the World contribute and share what makes their town special.

2. In terms of my progress, I would like to become competent in the use of Class Dojo. I want to use Class Dojo as a mode of communication between myself and the parents/carers of the children within my class. I also want children to be able to see their house points and consequences as this will give meaning to their rewards. 

3. I would also like to increase my knowledge of Padlet and become competent in using this app so that the children in my class can be taught how to use it and how to create boards.

4. Another app I have came across within the forum is Storybird. I would like to use this in order to develop literacy and make literacy more interactive and innovative for children. ]]> 2018-11-27 16:49:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ediamond4/gettoknowme/wish/308381409 ediamond4 https://padlet.com/ediamond4/gettoknowme/wish/308436577 Hello everyone, 
Below I have attached my first draft of an eTwinning project. Please have a look through! Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
