We celebrated the European Day of Languages with the song " an anthem for the European Day of Languages". Students of grade 6 performed the multilingual son " Voices of Europe" with a short part in Catalan. This is an amazing way to give visibility to the great cultural power speaking languages is and the best way to show to the world that learning many languages unites us among all the European countries.
This is the VIDEO with all the European collaborations and languages!

Canoeing, picking up garbage and photo contest today in Algarve with our European partners from Ireland and Portugal . We are learning about the dangers and the tragedy of plastics in the ocean. We created beautiful works of art with some pieces of plastic, ropes and other material. Our #erasmus project “Wat@rt” is becoming really fruitful and joyful. We are improving our partnership, our English skills and our learnings about the #sdgs and #climatechange #learningenglishisfun #watart #creativity

We also visited Lagos in the afternoon, a wonderful town by the sea with a fortress and crowdy tourist streets. We bought some souvenirs for our families and ate a delicious ice cream together to celebrate the last day of this amazing adventure. #growingineurope #etwinning_es #sportytime #lagos #culturalvisit
We spent the afternoon together: students, teachers and families working on activities about our Erasmus+ and eTwinning project called " Wat@rt".
Each team had 20 minutes to work on each station.
There were 4 different stations:
- Find the Wat@rt memory game hidden around the school. Follow the map instructions , find the pieces and finally, play the game
- Design the collaborative logo with Canva
- Create a collaborative watercolour mural " the ways of water"
- Write the paper chain messages after reading a pair of texts and watching a pair of videos.
We have learned about the importance to save water, we worked together , we developed our creativity and critical thinking skills, and learned about orientation skills , we became more open minded and most of all, we enjoyed it a lot!
Amazing afternoon last 8th June in Sant Josep Navàs.
Pupils ,families and teachers gathered in the community Theatre from 3 to 5 in the afternoon.
Students presented their project to the families and their school partners.
They also asked the audience to interact by asking them questions related to the project.
At the end of the presentation, families even answered a survey and gave their opinion.
Pupils boosted their oral skills and reinforced their self-confidence while presenting in front of an audience.
It was a very fruitful experience !
At the end of the presentation the teachers gave them a certificate of participation to the project and a little gift : an eTwinning notebook and a sustainable lunch box.
Thank you students , teachers and families for trusting " Street art: the talking walls"
