Cyprus meeting was fantastic...

First comenius experience by Lidia (Primary teacher)

Last 18th of March Amaya, Emilio, Álvaro and me arrived to Cyprus. I had never imagined that I would travel to that fabulous place. I surprised when I realized the some similar aspects that Cyprus shares with Andalusia: the weather, nice, funny and helpful people, landscapes…
We stayed at a hotel located in a small village called Kakopetria, a bit far from Nicosia, the capital. Kakopetria has a lot of narrow streets that hide old houses and cute coffee shops. We met a lot of teachers from different countries like Poland, Italy, Sicily, Portugal, of course: Danuta, Monika, Nuno, Graça,Guido, Luis, Steios, Christine, Demetra , Tula, Anne, Evrydiki (sorry but some names are very difficult for me to write and pronounce). As well as we also met some relatives of these teachers that accompanied us to visit some gorgeous places like Afrodite’s beach, the ruins of Paphos, Troodos mountains and typical taverns of Cyprus that remind me to Greece. I forgot to tell you that Cyprus is invaded by Turkish troops that stay at the northern part. It is incredible to find a church and a few meters later, find a mosque. You can also see people who wears like us and a few meters later, people who wears robes on their heads… It seemed that, you had jumped to another country: Turkey …
To sum up, I liked very much this experience, talk about education and the learning process with foreign teacher that gave me another point of view and have enriched the trip. THANK YOU SO MUCH COMENIUS!!!! I HOPE TO REPEAT!!!

Some photos about our visit to show you the marvalous activities...

Netmeeting Activities

Our students are developing diferents activities about our Comenius Project, one of these is related with the new technologies and comunication.

They are keeping in contact with their new friends from Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Italy... using the Facebook and working with videoconference at the school and some of them at home.

We did it with polish students some months ago, and now we're doing it with slovenian.

Is really good to check that our students can comunicate in english, better or worse, but they can find the real application of the english lenguage, and use it as motivational aspect to learn it.
