NOVEMBER COMENIUS ACTIVITIES IN GIMNAZJUM NO. 44

The logo contest has just ended. Students from our school sent 17
logos but only 5 of them were selected to the next stage of the competition. All
of the logos were very original and creative. Congratulations everyone! Those works which were qualified to the finals will be posted on the website here, so all of you will be able to vote for your favorite one. Tell your family and friends to vote too.

Next week the first grades will have a quiz about Spain. Those questions will show how much we know about that country. Watch our website for more details about this competition. If you have any questions you can ask one of our teachers too.

Before Christmas we're going to prepare Christmas cards. Think about the techniques that you can use. In the logo contest you've proved that you can be creative, so try to do your best this time too. You can invent a short Christmas poem or some funny wishes. Just try to be orginal and do a card that you would like to get.

LOGO CONTEST

One of the first activities we will share, although in the distance, will be the logos contest for pupils aged  thirteen to fifteen from the two countries that take part in the exchange. The aim of  such contest is to choose the logo that will better represent the project. We know for sure that the level of the designs will be proportional to the illusion the pupils will devote to their work. Soon will we get to know the winner. Good luck!

 

What is the project about?

Apart from practising and improving the English language, the aim of our project is to get to know a new culture and show ours.

Each school will deal with 10 topics related to their own culture; ours will focus on the following:

1. La Coruna. The Hercules Tower (World Heritage)
2. Santiago de Compostela. The city (World Heritage) and its cathedral.
3. St James Way
4. Lugo. Roman Wall (World Heritage)
5. Ourense. As Burgas (hot springs, 70C)
6. Pontevedra.  El Castro de Santa Tecla.
7. Galician coast. Las rías.
