“Small Scientists” eTwinning project’s success
story
by Ionela Camelia Lazea
In last year’s newsletter I wrote about the
eTwinning project “Small Scientists discovering the
sky” which lasted from January to June 2016.
Partners in this endeavour were 11 kindergarten
teachers who teach children between 3 and 7 from
8 European countries: Poland (2 partners),
Romania (2 partners from Bistrita and Scornicesti),
Turkey (2 partners) Bosnia and Herzegovina,
Lithuania, Latvia, Portugal and Croatia.
About the students mentioned in this article:
Maria Teresa Nunziata, 13 years, admin student of
the project, gently permitted translation of quotes
from her post.
Marian Mosulica, 13 years, admin student of the
project, gently permitted use of the photo “Parco di
Capodimonte”.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The children from the middle group (4 to 5 year old
children) at Kindergarten Nr. 3 in Bistrita, along
with their European colleagues, enjoyed
participating in activities which focused on
enhancing and improving communication between
pupils in different cultures, encouraging
communication in a foreign language, using
computer and ICT tools and carrying out scientific
experiments that stimulate students' creative
thinking. The teachers used various innovative
methods and techniques, especially scientific
experiments adapted to the age of children, as well
as teamwork or collaborative learning.
The project had a strong impact on the children and
teachers of Kindergarten Nr. 3 Bistrita by
presenting similarities between different European
countries. The involvement of children in this
international project contributed to motivating and
fostering the interest of children and their parents
in collaborating at European level in the field of
preschool education.
In this year’s edition I want to share with you the
success my partners and I had with this project.
After the project finished all the partners applied for
the National Quality Label and, to no one’s surprise,
we all received them. This also meant that all of us
received the European Quality Label. But this was
just the beginning and also an incentive to promote
and disseminate our project further.
