SPRING
DAY IN EUROPE – 21st March
2003
Nadur
Primary School is one of the 5501 schools registered within the European
Schoolnet, who organised an event on Friday 21st March 2003
– celebrating Spring Day in Europe.
The
Spring Day in Europe was developed with the EU Ministries of Education,
and the European Schoolnet (EUN) is supporting schools in their
endeavours, by providing the Spring Day website with ideas, tools and
activities for teachers, and by building school networks.
A
Year 3 teacher from Perchtoldsdorf, near Vienna, in Austria, has
contacted a teacher from the Nadur Primary School, to start
corresponding with a Year 3 Class pupils.
Together
they decided to join in an activity for this Spring Day in Europe.
Both
teachers and pupils, including the Headmistresses of each school,
exchanged own profiles and information about their relative schools and
towns.
They
also exchanged some German and Maltese words.
All
this work was exhibited in the class and some profiles and information
about the town of Perchtoldsdorf were also read during the morning
assembly.
For
this day, children in other classes were asked to write about their
experience in a European city which they visited last summer.
A
report of all this was sent to the Director of the European Schoolnet,
and for this activity, Nadur Primary School will be awarded a
certificate.
