San Gregorio school is placed in the north of Spain. Our town is called Aguilar de Campoo, its population is about 7.000 habitants, most of them work in the two important biscuits factories. The sourrounding area is really beautiful from the natural and enviromental point of view.
About the school, we have three sections: Infant, Primary and High school. In Primary school we are about 240 students and 16 teachers. Among our students we have some emigrants from different countries: Paraguay, Romania and China. We also have a Bilingual section, we teach Science and Arts & Crafts through English as well as we teach English languages lessons. Our educational philosophy is "to work with the last ones in our society", so we have some students with specific educacional need, and another ones also with specific social needs.
Our main aim to join in this project is to develop the European atmosphere in our pupils, families, teachers and in the local area. Also we also hope to develop the languages skills in our school community.
FINNISH SCHOOL:
KARISTO SCHOOL.
Lathi, Finland
Karisto school was established in 2010, as the first half was built, while the second half was completed in spring 2013. The school has grown gradually. During the academic year 2013-2014 there are classes from 1st to 5thgrades, next year the body of pupils will also include grade 6. There is also a daycare center and a preschool in the same building.
The school is located at a beautiful spot surrounded by forest and a lake, in the middle of a newly established living area. We emphasize cooperation between preschool age pupils and 1st and 2nd graders (6-8-year-olds). We also lay emphasis on the development of linguistic awareness of pupils, literature, interaction, and sustainable development. We have a 30-minute break every day when we encourage the pupils to move about as much as possible. Physical activity has been reported to enhance learning.
This year we have 223 pupils, while13 teachers and 2 school assistants work in the school.
Project explanation.
ENGLISH EXPLANATION:
This project
will provide the opportunity for the three schools in Spain, Finland and
England to collaborate and work together with pupils aged 9 and 10.
The project will
not only enable students to meet new friends but develop cultural awareness of
life in other countries in Europe focusing on schools, towns and regions.
Additionally we
want to develop and extend students computer skills through the use of Web 2.0
and also improve and develop literacy skills in reading and writing.
The project will
provide real life learning experiences and a real audience for pupils to
exchange work with. Furthermore through this creative project pupils will be
motivated to produce work of a high standard raising self-confidence and
achievements.
The project will
be developed over the next academic year and we aim to complete and exchange
every one or two months.
To conclude and
consolidate our learning the final activity will involve producing a story
book!
EXPLICACIÓN EN CASTELLANO:
Este proyecto
nos ofrece la oportunidad a los tres colegios (español, finlandés, e inglés) de
colaborar y trabajar juntos con nuestros alumnos de 9 y 10 años.
Este proyecto
no sólo permitirá a nuestros alumnos conocer nuevos amigos sino también
desarrollar una conciencia cultural de la vida en otros países de Europa centrándonos
en los colegios, las ciudades, y las comunidades.
Además de
todo esto, queremos desarrollar las destrezas con las TIC de nuestros alumnos a
través del uso de la Web 2.0 y mejorar las destrezas lingüísticas de lectura y
escritura.
El proyecto
nos ofrecerá experiencias de aprendizaje de la vida real y compañeros con los que
nuestros alumnos compartirán e intercambiarán trabajo. Más allá a través de
este creativo proyecto los alumnos se motivarán a producir trabajos de un gran
nivel elevando así la confianza en sí mismos y sus logros personales.
El proyecto será
llevado a cabo a lo largo de este curso académico y nuestro objetivo es
realizar un intercambio de trabajos cada dos meses.

FINNISH EXPLANATION:
Tämä projekti mahdollistaa suomalaisen, espanjalaisen ja englantilaisen koulun yhteistyön 9-10 –vuotiaiden oppilaiden kesken. Projekti auttaa oppilaita tutustumaan toisiinsa, sekä kehittää kulttuurienvälistä tietoisuutta kouluista ja asuinalueista toisissa Euroopan maissa.
Lisäksi toivomme oppilaiden luku-ja kirjoitustaidon, sekä tietoteknisten taitojen kehittyvän mm. Web 2.0:n (sosiaalisempi lähestymistapa sisällön tuottamiseen ja jakamiseen) kautta. Projekti tarjoaa tosielämän oppimistapahtumia, sekä ”oikean” yleisön, jolle työt voi esitellä. Oppilaat toivottavasti motivoituvat tekemään korkealaatuista työtä, mikä kasvattaa itseluottamusta.
Projekti kestää lukukauden 2013-2014. Pyrimme olemaan yhteydessä joka kuukausi tai joka toinen kuukausi. Lopputyömme tulee sisältämään omia kertomuksia sisältävän kirjan tekemisen!
