Project Activity geared to young learners –16.03.2017
(Second Grade/7year-olds)
Younger pupils of the school indirectly involved
with the Erasmus plus project, along with their directly
involved teacher Dora Manesi, started working through
the subjects of Language-Literacy and Environmental
Studies as well as Art, on plant and tree identity,
examining in time every single local product of all
partners, naturally in L1, which will then be translated in
English.
At the beginning they had to be familiarized with the map of
Europe and got to know the countries involved, studied their place
on the map, drew their flags and then looked for information
regarding the season each plant/tree grows, how it is cultivated, the
fruit/product it gives and 'dressed «their findings with colorful
drawings, poems, folk tales as well as riddles connected to each
local product. Their exploration of fruits and plants was done through
stories, poems and proverbs leading to helpful knowledge about
their valuable contribution to our daily food intake adding to their
taking the initiative of consuming fruit at school(in class) on a daily
basis.
It is a really good practice example involving younger ages,
activating their knowledge regarding all aspects of the food product
and the country it comes from (the power point presentation

approached each food product
