Why we have chosen these tales?• « The three little pigs »

even you are little, you can help some of your friends
• « Nothing forgets itself more fast than a returned service »
don’t forget to remember when someone helps you
• « The ugly duckling »
even your life seems to be hard, you can be happy in the future
=> These tales correspond to behaviours and difficulties of pupils wehave in our school

Preparation of the partner visit by the pupils
Difficulties we met during the project
• Managing the project by two teachers (Fabienne and me) and try to motivate the other teachers
• Sharing the same tales between 8 classes => takestimes, the more we are, the more it takes time
• The work on a tale takes many times in our class => difficultto share and integrate our « normal institutional work » and the Comenius project work
• 12 weeks to work on 4 tales is ambitious or maybe we have to be less ambitious ourselves with our work
Positive aspects of the Comenius project in our school
• « Happy new year » letters from and to partners• Reading and display of the partner letters at the school
– Writing letters to partners
Positive aspects of the Comenius project in our school
• Collaboration between the teachers on a common project
• All the class integrated in the project
• Each class gives its work for a final common support
• Pupils motivated by the project
• Cultural opening for pupils– Every partner speaks english to communicate although it’s not the
maternal language so english is universal language we must learn– Some people in the world speak other language as french and english– Comparison spanish and french culture
(education, landscape, grounds, monuments, etc) by viewing Murcia video film we took
– Better know the Europe
