Visibility of eTwinning Projects Group July 2012 Newsletter
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Also, the Project TwinSpace was full with most
imaginative children's artwork, fantastic
presentations, cartoons, games that expressed their
pure joy for taking part in the project as real
partners of ours.
Those untangible outcomes tackled the areas of
creative thinking, cognitive, affective, psychomotor
and other thinking skills in children, as much as
their willingness to widen up their ICT skills and to
learn to be more communicative with their peers &
develop interpersonal skills.
Of these skills, the interpersonal skills have been
expanded gradually, but constantly, from the time
the project was closed. As my pupils (then aged 8
to 12) expressed their desire to continue the
project, I had an idea.
One of the tasks in the project was set as the
relation of castles with maths.
We created our maths story called “Princess Amalia
Needs Help“ as the project task:

AMALIA%2C-THE-PRINCESS%2C-needs-HELP%21.
Our “Princess Amalia“ was again performed but on
stages of the Zadar central Theatre.The pupils,
though, one year older, acted great. And we had
fantastic fun – once again!

This article aims to present the elements of
sustainability and transferability of one eTwinning
project, on the example of “King of My Castle“ that
has been both expanded and continued, tranformed
into a nice play.
Also, this example may serve as the motivation to
other colleagues to keep on 'playing' and using
other media – to motivate pupils more to seek, find
and show many hidden talents.
Somehow, I got the idea to write down the script
based on this maths problem. It became a funny
play overwhelmed by my students: we started
practising & adding some parts – all together. That
was our fantastic enthusiastic experience that is
impossible to explain.
Therefore, the 'show' does go on! Why not? We all
need more fun!
We took part in public events with great success:
