 We have been very busy with school activities and in concluding this e-twinning project but found time to put in action what really concerned us once we learned about the problems waste is creating to our globe. Living on the coast learning about the Garbage Patch the students involved in this project which helped them acknowledge the issue and made them want to actively do something to solve it.  So we took the students to our beaches and together we collected all the waste we found.   We were followed by the local TV cameras and interviewed.  At the end of the morning we collected over 110 kg of waste, the majority of which was plastic.

The beginning

Image
We started this new project today! As the English teacher for my 2D linguistic class I chose to be part of this project on Friday and did all the preliminary activities to get started.  This morning I brought my students to our new Computer Lab for the first time!  It was their first time in the room and for some of the students the first time they are part of the e-twinner community.  A few of the students worked on a successful project last year.   We've been discussing Environmental issues in class for the last month and this project fit us perfectly! We are happy to be able to work with such a large group and eager to get to work and to get to know our new partners.
