Visibility of eTwinning Projects Group July 2023 Newsletter
Furthermore , we invited parents , grandparents and other members of our pupils ' families to read or tell us Christmas stories . Unfortunately , hosting them all at school was not possible , so some joined us online . Some grandparents decided to share true stories about Christmas traditions when they were children . Parents and other family members read Christmas stories for us , which they chose mainly for this occasion . As a follow-up , we had Art activities : painting and making Christmas decorations and cards .
Our first graders hosted a group of preschool children from Žibeki , a local kindergarten . Together , the children listened , told and acted out stories in Croatian and English . First , they watched an animated film in English , The Fox and the Stork . After that , they learnt keywords in English .
Fortunately , in the third year of our project , the pandemic measures were lifted , so we organised live meetings with institutions we previously had online meetings . To mark World Storytelling Day , on Tuesday , 21 March 2023 , our 4th graders visited the half-day stay of the Society of Persons with Physical Disabilities DOSTI of Međimurje County .
The first graders acted out the fable in their mini puppet theatre . In the following part of the meeting , kindergarten children and their teacher told stories The Little Zebra Who Lost Her Stripes and A Kindhearted Ant . The activity was extremely motivating and fun for both groups .
