Erasmus Project Updates
Turkey - February 2020
|
In February, Mrs Soulard and Mr Scott made the trip to the Metod Koleji school in Ankara, the capital of Turkey. |
 |
 |
We were amazed to find out that the children were taught lessons in both Turkish and English! |
|
At the school, the arts were an important part of the learning day and we had the opportunity to see both an art lesson and a dance/music performance by the children of the school, celebrating the founding father of modern Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. |
 |
|
|
Again, we came back full of enthusiasm and ideas to share with the pupils at Greenleaf. We are looking forward to welcoming our Erasmus partners later in 2020. |
Portugal - December 2019
 |
In December, Mr Scott and Ms Franklin went to visit the Escola Basica D. Pedro I school in Porto, Portugal.
|
|
Whilst there, we discovered how important the role of school library is in Portuguese education, with many storytelling lessons being taught there. |
 |
 |
The arts also play a significant role in the Portuguese system and we witnessed a hip hop/ dance concert at playtime by the students. |
| In recent years, there has been a big focus on using public libraries which were not always accessible in Portugal. Here was a trip we took to the Almeida Garrett library. |  |
| We came back with an even greater love of books than ever before and buzzing with new ideas to teach reading at Greenleaf. | |
