Work's steps: 

OUR PUPILS/OUR SCHOOL

Each pupil creates a personal presentation.  Our schools will be presented with photos of pupils.
Then we will send real postcards to our partners.

PHOTOS CONTEST

Teachers create a list of math words in English. Each pupil draws lots for one word.

Then he imagines a scene in a natural environment (forest, beach , grass, etc...). He has to form his word using natural elements (leaves, flowers, stones, wood, sand, etc...).

Moreother, pupils have to place next to the word an etwinning logo, and they can integrate a geometrical tool into the scene (ruler, compasses, set square, or protractor).

Then a picture of the scene is taken. All pictures are sent to the twinspace.

Spanish pupils vote for their three favorite French photos, and vice versa.

EXHIBITIONS

Exhibitions of all works of art in the libraries of our respective schools.
