eTwinning 10th Anniversary a joy fest for children!

eTwinning has always been a ray
of sunshine into the boring window frame of the conventional and traditional
educational system. With its 10th year anniversary it has stormed out into our
school and made the end the spring and of school year unforgettable by bringing
together the eTwinners to celebrate and making them feel like a community. I still hold on to the image of happy children
faces blowing up balloons, drawing on the pavement, bending over the posters
their heads in concentrated expressions and bouncing with joy so that it was
difficult to tell a child from a balloon. It was with younger eTwinners that we
drew on the pavement and played balloon games.
However the fun didn’t stop
here. The teenage eTwinners (7th-8th forms: 14-16 years
old) came together to embark on the adventure of celebrating the 10th
Anniversary of the eTwinning.
Students shared their experience
of participating in the eTwinning projects, they have made posters, created an eTwinning
planet and populated it with their “countries” and “people”. They have even invented
a legend to each of the created country on the eTwinning planet.
Students brimmed with pride for
their accomplishments within eTwinning and for the simple fact that being so
far away one can still be part of a great community. Despite the fact that eTwinning
has been a part of our school for a short time (only one year), today at the
eTwinning anniversary celebration we realized how much it has become part of
our school life and what a great impact has it had on us all - students and
teachers alike.
All in all eTwinning 10th
Anniversary celebration was a blast and all students had a lot of fun!
