definite appointments about it. We use this environment for the “more”
part.

sometimes control the pages. 4.
The first year: “Se@ing each other” ·
The construction of this year: The
construction of a project-year with a theme/subject.
In the basic part all the pupils work together with the theme and make
materials: calendar, CD-rom, video, drawings etc. In part ‘more’ children
can work alone or together on their own level and plan their own
learning-process. We stimulate relationship, self responsibility, independent
work and reflection. ·
Brainstorm and discussion about the content of the ‘basic’ part The
first year: 2004 – 2005 ’Se@eing
each other’ ’Se@eing
each other’ means getting to know the other partner countries and
their traditions. This will be done by means of a calendar followed by
portfolio work. In the calendar we mean to include: art pictures made by pupils
and special days (national days, Christmas, Easter etc.), for example. The end products will include the
following: 2004 – 2005
- a calendar sent to each partner countries
-
portfolio work of each participating pupil about a topic of their own
choice, chosen
from a
subject of interest arisen from learning about the partner countries ·
Appointments and timeschedule about the ‘basic’ part Every school make a calendar with art pictures made by pupils with special days on it (National days, culture and tradition days etc. ) It’s free how to make the calendar, but it included: pictures
or art work on the front-site, on the backsite a few sentences about it. Pupils
must be curious about it and ask questions on the platform to other pupils. Every school send a calendar to the other school: 1x Rollegem, Belgium 1x Bellegem, Belgium 1x Poland 1x Finland 2x Italy (2 buildings) 1x Spain (maybe a new partner) 1x Holland The calendar must be send at least at 30 November ·

Is it nice to organize a kind of match: Which
pupil can design a logo of the project? Every child have a change, so we organize
a match. ·
How can we organize it? Making appointments
about it. On every school pupils can design a logo. When their are more logo’s, you can
organize a election about it. Every school send the winning logo from
their school to Hendri, at least 15 November! Hendri collect the logo’s and send it
back. Then every school give points to the logo’s. Teachers or pupils can do
it, that’s up to the school. Before 5 december you can send the points to
Hendri. He let you know who’s the winner! (Maybe the winner can come to Belgium?!) 6.

because Romania can’t be our partner ·
