We loved to play! In school or online (together), we had a very good time and we learned more about the forest and more English. The games on computer, educational soft, online games, all were an opportunity to know each other and collaborate better.

The common Lapbook was an interesting way to work together and find more things about the forest in our partners’ countries. 4 groups, 6 partners in each one, created and sent by ordinary post their lapbooks.

The beauty of the forest is its sound too: birds, insects, waterfall, rivers, the wind moving the leaves… All this fascinated us both in classroom as outside, in our expeditions through the nature. We discovered all kind of species of birds during our activities:

To see if a project is good, you must follow the satisfaction level of students participating in the project. No matter how modest we may be, the spectacular results are those that give us the measure of satisfaction. We have the most diverse and creative results. Each image in this book, each link show the extraordinary success registered by our project in all partner schools. A working team, united by the same interests, a team of creative teachers is the key to the success of a project. And we had this team who knew how to mobilize students in the most diverse and enjoyable activities. Thank you to my team! Thank you to all the students involved! You are the best!
