In March the teachers held their first meeting to speak about the project and its activities.

Both the teachers and the students filled their pre-surveys in.

There was a poster competition so first, we had to design ours in order to choose the one that would represent our team.

We voted and we chose the one by Diego, Omar and Samuel to represent us.

These are all the posters that all the teams made.

These are the ones that each team chose as their representative. Then, the students voted to choose the winner.

We used the posters chosen by each team to create our collaborative logo.

On March 22nd, World Water Day is celebrated. Since water is really related to our green project, we dealt with this topic.

We discussed about its importance and did some activities using these MATERIALS.

We also dealt with bullying and cyberbullying. We watched a video, we discussed about the topic and we did some activities.

We used these MATERIALS.

We created a video with all the workshops carried out by the different teams.

We created infographics about our project. This was ours.

These are all the infographics made by all teams.

We made an ebook with all the infographics.

ENDANGERED ANIMALS

As soon as the meeting finished, we started writing our part of the stories.

We created a common song taking the letters of the name of our project. We were in charge of letters T and L.

We worked in pairs and we invented a line, then we voted to choose the final line for the song.

1. LIFE IS NOTHING WITHOUT THE EARTH

2. LEARNING ALL TOGETHER IS THE BEST PROGRESS

3. LOVE SHOULD BE DISTRIBUTED TO EVERYONE

4. LAND IS IN DANGER IF YOU AREN’T RESPONSIBLE

5. LET’S SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT, LET’S SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT

7. LOSE BAD HABITS, MAKE A CHANGE (Invented by Tizziana and Mario and voted as the best one.)

TO YOU, WHAT DOES DIGITAL GREEN CYCLE MEAN?

These are the lyrics of the song that all the teams came up with:

ONLINE FOT THE PLANET

DEVELOPING EARTH WITH FUTURE BRIGHT.
IF WE IGNORE THE ENVIRONMENT NOW, WE WILL HAVE A PLANET FULL UF PROBLEMS TO DEAL WITH LATER.
GATHER TOGETHER TO MAKE THE WORLD GREENER.
IF WE WANT TO LIVE IN HARMONY WITH NATURE, UNDERSTAND ITS VALUE
TRY TO BE A BETTER PERSON, HELP THE OTHERS AND THE PLANET
AUGMENTED VISIONS OPEN WINDOWS TO NATURE UNSEEN
LOSE BAD HABITS, MAKE A CHANGE

GREEN CHOICES LEAD TO A BETTER TOMORROW
RECYCLE YOUR HABITS IN DIGITAL AND REAL LIFE
EASY TO DAMAGE, HARD TO HEAL, IT’S THE NATURE
EVERYBODY SHOULD PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT
NEXT TO THE NATURE, ALL OF US TOGETHER.

CREATE TREASURE FROM TRASH THROUGH RECYCLING.
YOUR ACTIONS TODAY SHAPE TOMORROW’S NATURE
COME TOGETHER TO KEEP NATURE CLEAN
LOOK FOR ECO FRIENDLY TECH CHOICES
EVERY ACTION COUNTS FOR A GREENER FUTURE.

Here is the result:

ONLINE FOR THE PLANET

We celebrated eTwinning and Europe Day by reflecting on being a European citizen, citizenship education and how eTwinning helps to bring us together. These topics are related to eTwinning annual theme: 'CITIZENSHIP EDUCATION, CELEBRATING WHAT UNITES US'.

Teams were paired up so that students would write letters to each other in order to commemorate this day. We were matched with 'Istanbul Hizir Reis Kiz Anatolian High School for Girls (Turkey)'.

We were very excited when we got their answers.

The next step was a design competition with recycled materials.

The Spanish students worked with others from the same level.

These are our results.

SCALES

BOAT

HOUSE OF BIRDS

MONEY BOX

CATAPULT

These are all the teams' results.

We made a video with all the ideas.

In order to celebrate World Telecommunication and Information Society Day, May 17th, each team coloured pages of past and present communication tools. Then, all of them were combined to form the letters of the word 'MAY'.
