REMARKS

BULGARIA. Our school finds the project participation very useful because it provides intercultural experience for both students and teachers. Almost all of the teaching staff is involved , as well as the majority of students in the 8th, 9th, and 10th grades. The visits up to now have been very well-organised and productive, with the exception of Norway, where the time set aside for the work session was reduced to a  very short time  and not all expenses were known in advance.  We have experienced some problems with our certificates, but we have been assured by our Spanish, Latvian and Norwegian partners that the issue will be resolved during the visit to Cyprus. In general we find our partners very cooperative and responsive. LATVIA. Latvian partners would have wished better engagement from the teaching staff in our school. There is still the feeling that the project is mainly for the teachers of English and sports. The beginning of the second year in the project has shown greater progress in the meaning of the attitude. Up to now all the activities have been described in English and the materials from other schools are also in English. That is a problem with some teachers (including sports teachers) in our school. At the end of the project the coordinator promises to translate the games and other activities in Latvian and compile them in a separate file. We haven’t managed to involve more parents in the project activities. They have been supporters, but our wish was that they had taken more active part in the project. (The problem in our school in general) We have analysed the conclusions about the visit to Latvia. The main critical point could be a very compact programme versus too much free time.. The guessed would have wished it more balanced. But it could have been influenced by quite extreme weather conditions in January. CYPRUS. We love Comenius but we hate crisis!!!! PORTUGAL. Well done everyone!!!!

Pinfuvote: Dos Hermanas Tournament

The Pinfuvote is a game which is promote in Dos Hermanas because the creator is a teacher from Dos Hermanas.
Our school and mostly our PE Teacher, Jose Luis, took it to our Comenius Project because he found in this sport a really good tool to work the cooperation, integration, coeducation... through the physical education.

Our school presented it to the comenius partners like an example of integrator game.

With this idea, our school created a team in primary school and they started to training... Jose Luis did a good job!! He have now a really big group of students and families who are Pinfuvote lovers.

This weekend was the primary tournament in Dos Hermanas with several teams from differents schools, and we presented two teams... and after have fun, smile and really good moments... they got be winners!!!

Both teams were first and second in the tournament... They were there to have fun and enjoy and  I think it was the secret to be the two best teams...

Congratulations to our students... and specially to Jose Luis, he have done a incredible job (and these words are not related with the position in the tournament)

Final Logo!!

Here You are our Project Logo... It was a portuguese teacher creation, Rui. He used the differents logos which were done by students from each country involved in our project.

Congratulations, it is really nice!!! isn´t it??

Comenius Exchange - Students from Norway

We received in our center these days the visit of friends from Norway, in a Comenius project we have in school.

Have been conducting educational and cultural activities for a week ... within the work they have done we have recorded a series of programs of short interviews where we were told, in English, sensations, feelings and experiences that the exchange had. Of course not in vain, our students, now in 4th of ESO, had visited Norway last year.

European Sport Day. 22-3-12

Last Thursday 22nd March, The Antonio Gala School celebrated the European Sport Day as part of the Comenius Project: Integration and Equality in the field of PE by means of game, sport and physical activity.

The Portuguese School, which is involved in the project too, was invited to the event. They came by bus from Tavira with some Secondary School students. Our school took part with students from the third level of Primary School and the Secondary School students. All the Secondary students, Portuguese and Spanish, were mixed into different country groups. They wore flag sticks to identify themselves.

The event carried out in the Manuel Utrilla Stadium, in Dos Hermanas, facilities provided by the City Council. Our school showed a lot of different traditional games from the different nationalities which belong to this project: Latvia, Bulgaria, Norway, Cyprus, Portugal and Spain. We showed several adapted games and sports to support the project which we are working for. We organized a total number of 12 stages where the groups were passing. In each stage there were a Spanish student explaining in English the game to the participants.

The morning passed successfully and we got our mains goals: the students enjoyed a lot, they could learn traditional games from others European countries, they practiced a little English and they interacted with new students through the game and physical activity.

Of course, none of these would have been possible without the help of the students of the 4th level from Antonio Gala School, which learnt the procedure of the different games in order to explain them to the groups.

We hope all the students from Portugal and Spain have enjoyed and they have profited from this day.
