OUR PROJECT OUR PROJECT

The Year 2018 was the European Year of Cultural Heritage, and in the framework ofit, our goal is to share an important contribution in spreading European dimension, as well asencouraging awareness and promotion of Europe´s cultural heritage among nine to thirteen –year old peers from different European countries. This project including five Europeanschools which have cooperated and created a two- year planned activities focused ondeveloping pupils LITERACY SKILLS, stressing social inclusion of each participant, digitalliteracy, reading literacy as we are aware of the fact that is decreasing among students in thelast years, foreign language skills, cultural diversity and creating real advanced futurethinkers. Following the SWOT surveys of each participating school and of the institutionalprogress plans we were comparing, we concluded that the students need to be motivated tofind imaginary worlds as the way to help them understand the backgrounds outside theirexperiences and train their imaginatinary scenes in a safer space. We have created a projectthat involves several different learning styles - using Neil Fleming´s model of students’learning: visual, auditory, reading/writing preference and kinesthetic- stories and storytellingoccurring as main elements. This crucial idea would support the organisation andmanagement of this project that will increase our pupils’ personal and profession alimprovement, including all the backgrounds, besides, it will widen the cooperation relatingschoolsfamilies, and moreover, schools-external stakeholders. The project should beestablished because it would definitely bring a variety of advantages both, at the school,locally and at international level. The direct international collaboration will open theopportunity to the participants to spread networks, to gain useful knowledge, to share ideas,didactic approaches and methods for creating innovative tangible results. It will definitelylead to the internationalization of schools, development and getting new knowledge offoreign educational systems, school curricula of the countries involved in the project bystudying and using transnational tools and new teaching methods. Our project will focus onencouraging network and transnational cooperation at the partner schools.

SCHOOLS

Lilla Alby School

In the middle of central Sundbyberg is Lilla Alby School, a school that grows together with the rest of Sundbyberg. The school is close to both transport and green areas such as Tuvanparken, Bällstaån and Marabouparken.

Lilla Alby school has approximately 520 students, from preschool class to school year 6. We offer leisure activities to all children from preschool class to year 6. School and leisure have a close collaboration and work together throughout the school day. The school consists of two buildings, the white and the red house. In the white house, students attend preschool through year 3 and in the red house there are students in years 4-6. You will also find administration and the dining room in the red house.

Pedagogy

At Lilla Alby School, we strive for each student to develop to the maximum based on their circumstances. Our goal is that everyone should be met with respect, feel safe and happy at work. We build respect for each other with the help of the staff, who get involved in each individual student. This is facilitated by the pedagogues working in teams around a certain number of students, in order to better see the whole in both learning and play. To promote respect for each other, regardless of age, we have a sponsor system where older and younger students have the opportunity to meet and interact in everyday life, on outdoor days and theme weeks. Sponsorship also contributes to increased security at the school.

Safety is a prerequisite for maximum knowledge acquisition. Safety is created by all adults in the school working towards the same goal, having a common approach and a consensus regarding routines in daily work. The school has active equal treatment work where basic values lessons are on the schedule. The school has a Safety Team that runs the preventive value-based work. For example, Together with students and teachers, the Safety Team plans different themed weeks during the academic year. We see a close collaboration with the homes as another security factor.

We want everyone to feel joy at work at Lilla Alby School. We have therefore created an inspiring environment that encourages one's own initiative. A varied way of working with both theory and practice, which is based on student influence, also means increased job satisfaction.

Summary of the first year with online meetings

To ensure the continuation of the project despite the pandemic, we made the decision to hold virtual meetings each month the first year. Through the online platform, we were able to effectively discuss the project's objectives, activities, and outcomes at each school. Furthermore, we utilized the messaging app, WhatsApp, to keep in touch and stay informed of each other's progress. This allowed us to share our updates and results, as well as evaluate the overall progress of the project. The combination of virtual meetings and regular communication through WhatsApp proved to be a successful solution for maintaining the project's momentum.

Activities performed at Lilla Alby School

School year 2020/2021

During the 2020/2021 school year, each class / class was assigned a project based on the themes of Pinocchio, Peter Pan and National fairy tales, legends, myths and fables. The aim was to incorporate these classic tales into the curriculum and enhance the students' learning experience. The classes were taking on different aspects of the project, such as researching the stories, creating presentations, and performing skits. Throughout the year, the students worked hard on their respective tasks, using the themes of Peter Pan and Superheros as a foundation for their studies. This not only allowed the students to gain a deeper understanding of the stories, but also helped them to develop important skills, such as teamwork, critical thinking, and creative problem solving. The end result was a dynamic and engaging project that not only captured the students' attention, but also left a lasting impression on their education.

Peter Pan

Elementary school, grade 1 - 3: Some classes started by watching the film in Swedish and then we selected scenes from the film that we chose to draw. They wrote down what the film was about in Swedish and translated concepts into English. Some other classes started by reading the story of Peter Pan both in Swedish and afterwards in English, because several words were new and difficult for the students. The classes went through the key words and made summaries in Swedish even though they read in English. To finish the project with Peter Pan, the students had to create posters with the characters on them along with an excerpt of their choice from the book, in English.

Middle School, grade 4 - 6: During the drawing lessons, some classes practiced creating silhouettes to be able to make a silhouette of the characters Peter Pan or/and Tinker Bell. The classes started by looking at the trail and afterward, they started creating their silhouettes. The students were very pleased with their artwork.

And other classes began by reading the first chapters of Peter Pan as a whole class and, in pairs, the students were given glossaries on keywords and concepts from the chapters. The project ended with the classes watching the film and having to choose between writing their own scripts for scenes in the film or writing a retelling of what Peter Pan was about. Some classes chose to dramatize different scenes from Peter Pan. They started by reading the book and talking about the content and then divided into smaller groups and staged their own versions of different scenes. The students were given all kinds of different endings and some of them also made some pictures where Peter Pan and the other characters go on to.

Superheros

School year 2021/2022

Elementary school, grade 1 - 3 students. They started working with the theme of superheroes. The students were introduced to the book Handbook for Superheroes by Elias Våhlund and Agnes Våhlund. The students get to meet Lisa, who lives with her grandmother and is bullied a lot at school. The book was very much appreciated by the students, they got to learn about essential superhero techniques such as flying, fighting, talking to animals, having an exciting name, and discovering selfesteem in themselves too, and the book became a good gateway to work further with the theme of superheroes. The students made a self-portrait of themselves, looking like the superhero they are, together with their names and superpowers.

Some classes looked at some pictures and talked about what a superhero could be like, they looked at a program about drawing and were given examples of what the “final product “ would look like. Afterward, the students started to sketch their own heroes. The students continued sketching and making up the story for the strip and started sketching, drawing and coloring. The pupils finished their drawings using different kinds of pens and pencils and were very satisfied with their final product.

PINOCCHIO

During the pandemic period, we decided to choose a worldwide wellknown story and work on it with our students. Project partners decided to choose Pinocchio as a story.

We did this study with our 3rd grade students. They read the story and then we wanted them to draw their favourite character and write a few sentences about it. We also said that they can roleplay about their favourite part of the story and make a short film,our students did great work both in filming and drawing issues.

ONLINE ERASMUS+ ACTIVITIES

PINOCCHIO

Although the project partners were unable to meet in person due to epidemiological conditions, during the 2020/2021 school year a number of online activities took place within the Erasmus+ project "Power of Fairy tales and stories on literacy and language skills". Team coordinators exchanged ideas, planned cooperation and presented student works at regular meetings. Together with schools from Sweden, Slovenia, Turkey and Romania, we got to know the fairy tale about Pinocchio. Our youngest students had the opportunity to watch a cartoon about Pinocchio, to review the names of body parts in English and also to talk about examples of good and bad behavior, responsibility and obligations that were seen in the story. They made paper puppets of Pinocchio which were displayed on the Erasmus+ board.

SUPERHEROES

During the time of the pandemics, project activities were performed online. At one of the partners’ meetings, the project coordinators suggested and all the partners eagerly accepted that the theme of the next activity should be Superheroes.

Elementary school „Heroj Radmila Šišković“ from Serbia involved Grade 4 students into this activity. Fourth grade students had the opportunity to show their creativity and imagination, practice English and learn to use new web tools. They had the task of designing the character of the original super hero, stating his characteristics, super powers and the identity he carries in public, work, friends, family members. After that, they could choose to draw their hero and make a poster or create an online comic about their superhero's exploits using the Storyboardthat web tool.

Student works were shown as video material during a visit to the Hasan Tan school in Istanbul. The students' digital works can be seen on the eTwinning page of the project, and the posters had the opportunity to be viewed and chosen by our fifth graders Nikola, Dunja and Iva. A three-member jury looked at all the works, and you will be able to see the best works on the Erasmus+ board in the school premises.

FILM WATCHING AND OTHER ACTIVITIES

We started our journey by introducing to my students two well-known books for children: Peter Pan and Pinocchio. We watched the films and after that we did some fun activities, like colouring and cutting the characters from the books.

PICTURE DICTIONARY

After we got acquainted with the stories of Peter Pan and Pinocchio, we wanted to get to know Peter Pan better and we made a Picture dictionary. We got the chance to draw, to colour and to learn words from Peter Pan translated into all the partners' languages.

SUPERHERO

We continued our journey of knowledge with a task worthy of a writer: to create a superhero that can save our community from the bad guys. And we did even more, we created many superheroes. Further more, we made up a story with one of the superheroes, called Larisa. This is her story.

BOARD GAME

In order to complete the next task of the project, our students made up a board game about ”THE MYSTERIOUS FUTURE”. Students were eager to ask their questions about the future and to play the game. You need: one dice and 4 pawns.

You need: one dice and 4 pawns. The rules of the game are as follows:

1.You roll the dice.
