All the presentations of the event which took place at 29th April 2017 Creative Classroom Group
The May Creative Classroom Group Challenge! Be part of it with your students!!!
What is the Mannequin Challenge? It is a new online trend which sees people uploading
videos of them looking as though they've been frozen in time. Once the clip has been recorded, social media users are sharing the footage with the hashtag #MannequinChallenge. Teenagers from the USA started off the viral movement and most clips have the music by Rae Sremmurd’s Black Beatles featuring Gucci Mane playing in the background.
Many famous people followed this trend!

This project is designed for students from 10 to 16 years old. The profile of the project is based on active experiential learning. We are going to probe the interdisciplinary and integrated perspective on Environmental Education in relation with Visual Arts Education. Through our project we are going to underline the value of Aesthetic culture on shaping a healthy coexistence of people in the modern environment and create critical thinking personalities.
eTwinning project: Recycling through art https://twinspace.etwinning.net/16688/home
Pedagogic objectives - Important aims of the project are:
• Environmental sensitization. To motivate children and help them become creative and active on the topic. • For the students to comprehend the relation of interaction of people and their energies in relation to the environment. • To learn about ways of protection and improvement of Environmental problems through Recycling. • The exploitation of Fine Arts Education in the Aesthetic physique through the use of different materials. • To increase the students imagination and creativity by using different techniques and materials, as well as the freedom of expression. • To help children get familiarized with foreign languages. • The growth of dexterities personal and social, through the collaboration and the communication, aiming at the creation of conscience of “active citizens”. • To create critical thinking personalities, through art education and transformative learning process.
Activities:
• “Introduction to our project”, we are going to use the safe Twin Space platform for exchanging the activities. • “We present ourselves” – we use mixed techniques. • “We learn about Recycling”. Children receive knowledge and search for information about the topic and create educational material. • “The recycling tree”. We are going to create imaginary sculptures on the shape of a tree and put on our messages. • “The students organize and present works”, use the project method to learn, about the topic and share knowledge with the others. • “Art creations and emotions”. It is going to become the bases for the Teachers to apply Emotional Education. Our students are going to use recyclable materials, such as papers, aluminium, plastic bottles, glass, to create dolls and puppets. With those toys we will present theatrical games in classroom. • “Seasonal creations and ideas”. • “A game”. • “Interactive events and exchanging of materials”.
We had a beautifull collaboration!!!
Results:
• We created a TwinSpace open to public and a blog . For our students’ to present their creations: videos, audios, presentations etc. • Seasonal creations and exchanging of materials through digital form archieves and traditional post. • We are going to organize exhibitions in our School event Halls and events open to School community and to public. Also, we are going to participate in interactive activities in collaboration with other Schools in national and international level.
Evaluation: Recycling through art is an innovative eTwinning project designed for
students from 10 to 16 years old. The profile of the project is based on active experiential learning. We tried to probe the interdisciplinary and integrated perspective on Environmental Education in relation with Visual Arts Education. Through our project, we underlined the value of Aesthetic culture on shaping a healthy coexistence of people in the modern environment and create critical thinking personalities. The activities were based on the national Greek project of Environmental education: «Η Ανακύκλωση συναντά την Τέχνη» («Recycling meets Art”), that was realized in the 20th primary School of Ilion, Athens, Greece, under the supervision of Theodora Chandrinou.
Spain joined the project thanks to my friend Esperanza Caro who
accepted to become the leader partner and a beautiful journey started. Italy also joined in and Irene Confalone became an ideal partner. All the participating teachers did their best for the completion of the project, for the students’ benefit. We realized the activities in a friendly atmosphere and the collaboration with all the participating students from Greece, Spain and Italy has been excellent. Students played a leading role throughout the project. They willingly collaborated with their Teachers (leaders-instructors, teachers of different subjects, specialists etc.). They were active members from the first until the last feedback activities of the project and of self evaluation as well. The results prove that the project has been successful and the students’ performance has been of high level.
ď‚— First of all, we gave each and every group of students the ability to
create their own web-page. The greater part of their work has been put up on the internet in the twin-space platform. We considered it to be safe and with great potential, enabled the communication of pupils with students from other schools in their country and also with teachers and students of the foreign countries. Our twin-space platform (pages, mail, chat room, project diary) has fully covered us on the on-line communications we had made and for exchanging project materials. ď‚— For our communication, a variety of media were used such as telephone calls between the project leaders Theodora Chandrinou and Esperanza Caro, traditional post for exchanging materials, wishes and creations and our personal email accounts and facebook. Many different ICT tools were also used: padlet, slide share, issuu, video presentations uploaded on you tube and vimeo, painting programs, answer garden, word and PDF archives, internet exploring, airpano, wix account, etc.
The pedagogical aims cognitive and meta-cognitive have been
achieved. Personal, social skills and aesthetic values were succeeded. There has not been any denial on the part of the pupils to do the suggested activities, which is a remarkable fact! On the contrary there have been: Suggestions for collaboration Initiative and free expression Active membership and critical, constructive dialogue we aimed at cultivating the above thanks to the foreign languages involved. Artistic expression and desire to display the results (e.g. exhibitions, web pages, blogs). Innovative ideas and activities shared covering many different subjects in a creative way such as robotics and Art recycling creations.
A very important part of our success and completion of the project, is
the reinforcement of behavioral defense on pupils with problems of intrapersonal behavior, lower self-esteem and learning difficulties. We made deductions through our results, in our effort to practically infuse the project, exchange good practices and achieve better communication among the countries. In order to open the project to the society we made our twinspace pages created and the project diary also used, visible to everyone. I wholeheartedly wish to thank all my colleagues, each and every one separately, who honored the project: “Recycling through Art” with their participation and made it a success.
We invite you to visit our twin space pages, open to everyone on the Internet.

Partners from Romania, Poland, Portugal, Cyprus and Moldova
– A PROJECT FOR TEACHING STEM TOPICS IN AN
INTERDISCIPLINARY
WAY
The students aged 7-9 years old discovered different aspects of space science and astronomy, working on the topic in English. They explored some aspects of science included in their curriculum, working in international groups.
Activities:
- calculate with Rosetta, writing the travel diary, building Rosetta and Phillae, how to become an astronaut, making a spectroscope, the Solar System, famous astronoms and astronauts, life in space, an astronaut diary, etc.)
CURRICULAR INTEGRATION Language and Communication: talking about their partners living places and their traditions and habits; learning some basic words in their partners language related to the weather; creating stories; describing life in space and astronomical phenomena. Mathematics and Science: finding out about the Milky Way, the Solar System, the weather, the famous astronauts and astronomers; calculating, solving problems, making experiments and explaining specific natural phenomena related to Space. ICT lessons: creating and playing online games and quizzes, taking and editing photos, searching for specific information Art : making cards, posters, drawing and paintings; learning songs in Music PE: outdoor experiments Personal Development: finding solutions for problems and presenting their work to the audience
What did the students learnt? By working on this topic, our students are aware of the world around them; they think, learn and experiment with new STEM concepts. The project 'started where the children were', it was building on the ideas children brought with them to lessons and helping them to develop their understanding of scientific concepts related to the Universe. It helped them to understand the diversity of weather conditions and their responsibility for the environment.
The project benefits:
Pedagogical Innovation and Creativity Communication and exchange between partner schools Collaboration between partner schools Use of technology Results, impact and documentation
Project based learning brings school closer to reality
Theaching Stem is more than science
During the last three school years my school was involved in several STEM projects, part of Scientix community. The main goal of those projects was to develop basic STEM skills of our students based on project work integrated into the curriculum.

EXAMPLES -TUNISIA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9K9qZnkkS1M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whybt_D7THA
Local Authorities ď‚— eTwinning projects usually deal with
social local, national, european or international issues/problems. Its nessesary for projects to connect school communities with local communities. ď‚— Authorities are the authorized part of the communities. Also many parents are part of authorities and they have power to influence whole community.
Why we need them? Promoting projects Be active part (social problems, sports, peace, immigrants, education etc)of eTwinning projects through interviews, videos, queries or their specific role (majors, directors, policemen etc) Sponsoring projects activities inside and outside schools (theatre, music events, seminars, educational trips) Disseminating projects (media, forum, events)
How ?
Sending parents to Authorities Sending official messages On site visits Giving them roles as “politicians”, “journalists”, “experts” in our projects Organizing projects according to communities΄needs

Objectives of the project implemented in the class
Educate the child in the spirit of knowing the book Developing a creative aesthetic sense Collaboration Integrating English into Learning Poetry
Collaboration It was a good exercise in school preparation. I also involved other kindergartens by designing a similar project
at a local level.
There were joint meetings where the story was the main means
of communication.
They shared dolls on their fingers, characters in stories.
Developing a creative aesthetic sense
ď‚— They learned to love the book, and to develop their creative
skills at all levels: reading by pictures (they were preschoolers), reading small texts (learning to read, preparing for school), making short stories of picture chips, replicating Texts of well-known authors, made drawings of texts from stories, creating their own pictures of stories.

Educate the child in the spirit of knowing the book
The innovation of this project was his successful integration into the
classroom.
We work at the kindergarten with weekly projects devoted to: seasons,
family, traditions, etc.
So I gave each week the title of a reading. For example: in the proverbs week - I took the lead as an exemplary
title: Nastratin Hogea and the full house, Antonn Pan.
The smart kid - Petre Ispirescu evaluation
It's the story of a widow who has taken a snake. The condition of the snake was: to be carried on the shoulders of the man, all his life. When he grew older, the man prayed for the snake to descend, but he did not want it. He was angry that nobody helped him, he demanded the judgment of the children who played the judges. The snake was judged by the children and killed.
