Skype meeting of Drama Greece and Kobiernice Poland

Few days we had an online meeting with Polish students. In our discusion through skype we had a good time.At the begining there were some technival problems with our microphone.When the problem was solved we were able to comnunicate and ask them about their school and their life there.We learned that there are a few pupils in their class and they have differend lessons from us.They asked us how many pupils there are in our school and how beautiful our scool is. We were impresed by the fact that students in Poland have pets in their classrooms. In the end we said goodbye to eachother and promised to comnunicate in the future.

another meeting on skype

One month ago, one of our partners, Cigdem, got transferred to a new school. So unfortunately, Saimecadin primary school is not in our partnership any more :(
Yet, the pupils in Cigdem's new school wanted to know about us and our project and we arranged a meeting on skype on Wednesday. We introduced ourselves, exchanged information about our schools, we laughed and had a great time. 
The pupils from Kazım Orbay Primary school sung for us a lovely song as you can see in the video bellow. Two girls also played for us a nice melody with their musical instruments.
As my pupils noticed, our school is very small compared to the Turkish school which had more than 1200 pupils! My pupils enjoyed it because they finally overcome their shyness and embarrassment and managed to speak in English. They wished we could have more meetings using skype. Well, maybe next year, in a next project ;)

Skype meeting between Greece and Lithuania

Today we had another skype meeting, this time with the pupils from Lithuania.

A bit shy at first but curious enough to gather around the web camera. We started by introducing ourselves and we exchanged some information about our schools, the lessons, and the time schedule. We found many similarities! It was a pleasant feeling to know these similarities.
Yet, there are differences like the weather which is not the same. In Greece the temperature has started to rise!
Add to that, we found out that we do not have the same currency. So we had the opportunity to present to each other some coins and banknotes. In Greece is the Euro and in Lithuania is the Litas.
According to the myth, Europe was a beautiful princess, who was abducted by Zeus. Zeus one day saw Europe among other young women and was so struck by her beauty and her charms that he transformed into a bull and made her sit on his back and went to Crete. Europe's myth inspired many artists and eventually she became immortal after her name was given to the continent.

Skype meeting between Greece and Spain

chat with our e-Twinning friends

Today we were very happy to meet our friends from spain online via the Skype tool.
There were some sound and connection problems of minor importance since schools do not always have the best technical equipment but it was not that serious.
Although the pupils were a bit shy and embarrassed to speak in English in front of a camera, they enjoyed the meeting very much. For more than an hour we exchanged information about our school life and learned a lot from each other. Once again we realised that we have so many similarities even though we live so far from each other. 
It was a great experience! Cheers :-)

Skype meeting between Greece and Turkey

The original idea of trying a skype meeting was from Cigdem and the pupils of Saimekadin.
Drama and Ankara are on the same time zone so there was no particular problem to arrange our meeting. Tuesday 10a.m. We sang native songs, asked questions and learned a lot from each other. We had a great time so we thought to repeat these meetings with the other eTwinning partners too.

Bellow there is a brief video from Saimekadin pupils.
