Spanish student self-evaluation

Conclusions

The first Comenius in our school has been evaluated very positively by parents, teachers and students.

As we can see in the graphs, parents  very much appreciate the possibility what this project has offered to their children in terms of getting to know other countries, cultures, traditions and get used to respecting other realities. Thanks to this, now they can appreciate  their own culture more.

The students have recognised that now they are more motivated to learn English because they see it as a communicative tool that helps them meet other people and integrate into other cultures.  They have also said that they have very much enjoyed doing the activities and preparing the meetings where they have shared their knowledge and experience.

With regards to the topic of ´healthy food´ which included the importance of healthy eating and appreciation of traditional food, the students have added that they are now more conscious of them, but they have not changed their eating habits.  Perhaps it is a question of time and maturity and we hope that when they grow up, they remember the things learnt in this project and they will improve their eating habits.

The teachers are very satisfied with the project.  We have seen that our students are more motivated and more curious to learn about other cultures.  A fact that confirms our statement  is that there are a great number of students who want to take part in new projects and parents are asking for a new Erasmus project now.

2nd report

2^nd part of the Comenius report (from May to October 2013)                

May

After Saint George Day, we continued working on our project.  We began to work with the assigned part of the pyramid “Fruit and vegetables”.  The students looked for information about the topic and the American assistant who was working in the school, helped them. Those in charge of summarizing the information and preparing the Power point were: Alba López and Alba Velàzquez prepared the topic of fruit, whilst Isabel Serrano and Kathy García prepared that of vegetables.

We wrote an article in the school magazine about the meetings and tasks that took place during the year.  The magazine was printed in paper and also published on line.

We then began to prepare the 5 commandments and the school presentation for our virtual guide.

Following this, we wrote a draft for the Comenius visit to Spain.   The students searched for information about interesting places where we could take our partners, the timetable, prices, descriptions, etc.

June

We only worked during the first week, because the students had to study hard for the last exams.  When they were over, those who passed didn’t have to prepare any more exams and they could go on working on the project.  They designed identification cards of all the Comenius members with the flag of their individual countries and the logo of the Comenius project.

In groups the pupils prepared the Powerpoint presentations about Barcelona.

Additionally, a parents’ meeting took place in the school to organize the welcome event.

We booked all the visits and asked our Town Hall for an official welcome.

July

It was a stressful time because this year we didn’t break up until the 16th July.  Every morning the students came to school to continue working on the project.  They prepared a big poster welcoming the partners which they decorated with the different flags, finished the identification cards for the teachers and students, organized the events, prepared the presentations about “Fruit and vegetables” and about Barcelona.  Patricio Analuiza went to Barcelona and filmed a short film welcoming the partners and recommending the most important sites.  Meanwhile, the other group began to write up our most traditional recipes and Brenda and Kathy García were in charge of preparing the Powerpoints.

The English teacher prepared the visit to Saint Sadurní d’Anoia, the cellars and the chocolate factory and explained the visit to the students.

We wrote a summary about Fruit and Vegetables for the virtual guide.

We worked on the presentations for the meeting, organized the tasks and duties of all the students and revised the activities. With the parents we organized the welcoming at the airport (welcome posters) where they went to pick up their son’s or daughter´s partner.

There was another parents’ meeting in order to clarify the possible questions about the Comenius meeting.  We explained the activities to the rest of the teachers in a staff meeting.

The families proposed to organize a breakfast where the foreign students could taste our dishes and they also made a Comenius cake.

REPORT OF THE 4TH COMENIUS MEETING

Barcelona 20 September to 4 October, 2013
Countries: Italy, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Turkey and Spain.

Report

The fourth meeting of the project “The European teenagers between fast food and culinary tradition” was celebrated in Barcelona from September 20th to October 4th . Five of the six foreign delegations represented by 24 teachers and 30 students worked on the part of the food pyramid assigned to each country. We regret to say that the Greek delegation couldn’t come because of internal political problems.  The results of our investigation were commented and compared by all the Comenius partners and all the materials, photos, videos and activities were published in the Blog. English was the language used in all the activities and visits, so it meant a positive full immersion for both the teachers and the students.

 In order to fulfil all our aims established in the basis, we organised different visits to “La Pedrera, Park Güell, the Cathedral, Gothic district, Santa María del Mar, Boqueria market, etc. As well as technical visits to:”Cavas Codorniu, Simó and Coll chocolate factory, CEMFO catering school, etc. and lunches and dinners for disseminating/ representing our traditional cuisine.  The final dinner was in one of the oldest and most typical Catalan restaurants where the partners could appreciate the typical Catalan cuisine.

It was a very interesting and productive experience for teachers, students and the school community because we were enriched with new skills and knowledge. The students could experience how Catalan families live since they stayed with them. Additionallu, they had the opportunity to taste our typical cuisine because the families tried to prepare different dishes every day. We were able to disseminate the project thanks to the collaboration of our Town Hall and local TV:TV l’Hospitalet  filmed the welcome presentation in the Town Hall and interviewed the students asking them about their implication in and their evaluation of the Comenius project.
The students   worked with students from other countries, learnt new things and could compare different habits and observe the differences and similarities. All students were very happy to present their school and tasks and get involved in the workshops prepared for them.

We want to point out the friendly atmosphere and cooperation of the group:  this project has confirmed an important aim of Comenius Project: cooperation between European students and teachers.

Detailed programme

Monday

We met our partners at school at 8.30 and after the welcome event by the headmaster, we had a look at the facilities and classrooms.
Then we went to Barcelona by train.  When we arrived in Passeig de Gràcia, Pilar our teacher explained to us the history of the modernist buildings “Casa Batlló” and “Casa Amatller”, whose explanations had been prepared by the Comenius students.  After we had a guided visit to la Pedrera.  We had a good view of the city from the roof.
We had lunch in Park Güell and which we visited after lunch.  The visit finished at 5.30.  Then the partners had time to visit “Sagrada Família” or other places

Tuesday

 
All the Comenius activities were based on the topic “Healthy food”, so in order to be original, we prepared two amazing visits: one to the Codorniu winery and the other one to the chocolate factory Simon Coll, both in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia.  First, we saw the modernist building designed by the famous Catalan architect Puig I Cadafalch .  Our partners discovered the “cava” sparkling wine elaboration and had the chance to taste it. 
Then we saw all the modernist buildings in the village and finished the day visiting the Simon Coll chocolate factory.  Delicious!!!! Chocolate is healthy, so our tip is: if you eat a daily portion of chocolate, you will feel better and less stressed.

Wednesday

Today the students from different countries have presented their work in Powerpoints or films.  All of them have worked very hard and have achieved a lot, which is very important. You can see all the presentations in the blog and in the school web. 
Then we could taste the delicious dishes prepared by the students’ families (a Comenius cake, cookies, potato omelette, an enormous ice-cream, etc.).  Thank you, mums! 
After the delicious breakfast, we went to see the Boqueria market where the students took photos for the future project task.

As we were in the Ramblas, we visited the cathedral, Liceo theatre, Pine tree church (where the giants were kept), Santa María del Mar and our trip ended in La Barceloneta. We went to the beach and students and teachers admired the beauty of Mediterranean Sea. We tasted delicious paella, one of our traditional dish. 

Thursday

 
We began the day visiting our local Town Hall, where Mr. Lluís Esteve, (regidor d’ensenyament) the head of the education department in the Town Hall of Hospitalet made a welcome speech, explaining the importance of this kind of project for the students and the television of Hospitalet interviewed our students, asking them their opinion about the Comenius project and the places they had visited.  
At lunch time the teachers went to visit CEMFO, our local catering school, invited by our Town Hall. We have to congratulate all the cooks, waiters and staff of that school for the delicious dishes they prepared for us and thank the Town Hall for the invitation. 
Following this, we went back to school to continue working on the project.  In the afternoon the students went with their partners to buy souvenirs and some of them went to visit the Barça stadium.

Friday

 
It was the last day in the school for our partners, some of them left Barcelona that day and others stayed until Saturday.  We met in the school and while the teachers were planning the activities for the next meeting in Portugal, the students were playing a football match organised by our PE teacher. At 10.30 we met in the gym and after finishing the powepoint presentations, we gave them the Diplomas and the event finished with an amazing Twirling show organised by 4 students: Katy Narvaez, Isabel Serrano, Alba López and a very young and future Comenius student Paula López. 

Congratulations!!
