My name is Martha Pakalidou. I’m a teacher at the 8th Primary School of Nea Ionia Volou in Greece. My students are 11 years old and attending the fifth class. I’m interested in following innovative methods of teaching and in developing communication skills across Europe. This is something that Etwinning offers. I am very happy to participate in this project in order to collaborate, share new ideas and activities and meet new partners!

I love the theme of the project because my students will gain knowledge about other cultures.   At the same time, they will develop their knowledge of English and communication. It’s their first time working on an international project.

The project is divided into stages in which the students will carry out collaborative work in English and in the native language.

1. October / November  Individual presentations. 

2. November / December Production of New Year Postcards.

3. January / February Video presentation of the school / country 

4. March / April Creating an eBook about the monuments of each country.

5. May / June Virtual exhibition of their work.
