Scratching The Blue Star Project.

During the past few weeks we have been exploring the following themes in our European Culture....International Football, Crests, Food, Landmarks, Flags and Stadia. We researched and learned a great deal.

We then decided to go a step further and develop games centred on the aforementioned themes. Using the the developmental program SCRATCH we produced the following suite of activities.

Firstly an ad hoc, off the cuff, no notes, no cues introduction to SCRATCH by the leader of the team.

We will upload the games as individual posts on this blog.

Celtic-Hellenic Poetry Exposition.

The Greek students have completed the evaluation of our poems, have awarded points, reached a decision and forwarded the results and the prizes.

This was a great exercise and involved much activities, collaboration and communication. 

At this very moment we are at an advanced stage in the evaluation of the Greek poems and hope to have reached a verdict early next week.

Here is the link to the Greek Jury.
