Meet the Schools: EOI SANTIAGO - NEGREIRA satellite school

As we had said in a previous post, our EOI in Santiago has 5 satellite schools in IES de Sar, IES Número 1 de Ribeira (ours), IES Número 1 de Ordes, IES Virxe do Mar and IES Xulián Magariños. The head of studies in the latter, Dolores Gómez, whom I look up to as a teacher and appreciate dearly as a person, is also collaborating in the traveling notebook project. They are currently working on adding their entries in the notebooks from EOI Los Cristianos, in the Canary Islands.

I was very pleased to see Aurora, my former teacher when I was at high school, as an English student also participating in this project (on the left)

The traveling notebooks from EOI Los Cristianos are truly impressive!

Many thanks, Dolores, for your willingness to join this project, and students in Negreira for your participation!

Traveling Notebook: SNEAK PEEK (XI)

As you know from this previous entry,  we have CEIP do Castro's notebook. Our Basic 1 students had added their contribution, but we thought we could add one other dimension by including some film reviews. 

How did we do it?

Advanced 2 students chose some movies that they had really enjoyed, prepared a film review in the way we would normally do in class, except with a tighter time frame (15-20') to write them.

I quickly gave some feedback and then we used my cell phone to record the texts with Spreaker. They are short audio files, ranging in length from 40 seconds to 3 minutes, but which give a good overview of the film being discussed. 

Finally, I just created some QR codes linking them to the audio recordings. 

And that's it! Now students who receive the notebook will have the chance of doing a very simple activity: matching the posters of the movies with the corresponding audio text.

It's so simple!

Traveling Notebook: SNEAK PEEK (X)

Here, in our satellite school in Sección Ribeira, we have received a traveling notebook from CEIP do Castro, which is looking awesome! Not only are there lots of games, artwork and written bits, but also many different languages: Galician, English, French,... It has been a real pleasure to see this book and add our humble contribution.

Traveling Notebook: Three Traveling Notebooks (from Malaysia, Russia and Spain) Are Displayed in China

Alina, who is a high school student at Zhoushan Senior High School and our contact for the traveling notebook project, has sent us some photos from an event they recently held at their school welcoming students from Hong Kong for some cultural communicating activities. Alina (holding an iPad in the photographs) presented how the traveling notebook works and displayed the three books.

Next week, they are planning to put up some posters about the notebooks so that more students know about the project.

Traveling Notebook: SNEAK PEEK (IX)

We have an update from CPR Padre Feijoo Zorelle!  They have received the traveling notebook from Zhoushan Senior High School and they have added an entry including information about traditional Galician costumes, cuisine, poetry, music, sports, and other subjects. We are positive that our friends in China will thoroughly enjoy learning about these different cultural aspects.

Traveling Notebook: SNEAK PEEK (VIII)

Pablo and Tamara, teachers in CRA de Rianxo have been kind enough to send us pictures of the two traveling notebooks that they have been working on with their students. You can see the different topics they included, mainly art, the CRAOlympics and Christmas. 

These notebooks are real works of art, CONGRATULATIONS!

Traveling Notebooks: MALAYSIA'S NOTEBOOK IN CHINA

Alina, from China has sent us an update about the traveling notebook they received from Malaysia about one month and a half ago.

Last month, Zhoushan Senior High School had an "Art and Culture" festival and, since they had the traveling notebook from Malaysia, they organized several activities around it and had it on display.

She has kindly sent us some pictures which you can see below:

We are really glad that traveling notebooks are being used to learn more about culture and languages across the globe and that they integrate in our school activities. 

Malaysia's notebook will now travel from China to Russia, to Ulyanovsk school nº 76. 

We hope it has a safe trip! 

Traveling Notebook: SNEAK PEEK (VII)

The English and French teachers at CPI Poeta Uxío Novoneyra have sent us a preview of their very detailed traveling notebook. It is multilingual and very comprehensive, take a look!

Meet the Schools: CEIP DO CASTRO

Cristina Teixeira heard about the creative writing project and loved the idea of the traveling notebook, showing her willingness to participate and get involved. 

She has sent us some photos which are really self-explanatory and constitute the best description of their school. A picture is worth a thousand words! You can see the location of their school, the building, the beautiful multilingual traveling notebook they have put together, and the creative souls behind the amazing notebook: 1 year primary students.
