Erasmus Days 2020

Erasmus Days 2020 

Romania: 

On October 16, an online event took place, "Erasmus Adventure". Prof. Mazilu Mirela created the virtual galleries of the five Erasmus + projects, where students, parents, teachers and those interested in the local, national and international community can see photos during the mobility of the beneficiaries. Both events were published on the blog specially created for Erasmus Days. 

On 17th October 2020, Erasmus + beneficiaries from Secondary School no. 4 Suceava have participated in the celebration of the Erasmus Days throughout the event “Erasmus Family - Learning, Sharing, Having fun“. Primary and secondary level students and teachers organised and attended this event consisting of testimonials held online due to Covid-19 pandemic. The event addressed all students and teachers from the school as the main purpose of the Erasmus Days is to promote commitment to European education values such as healthy lifestyle, sustainable development and learning in informal environments. The event was registered on www.erasmusdays.eu, and we got the certificate from our NA for organizing the event. 

Greece: 

The #ErasmusDays offer a unique opportunity to organize an event, share our Erasmus experience and spread the word about our project. The situation and the restrictions due to Covid-19 did not allow for many actions in the school, so we prepared an interactive web tour through our Erasmus+ activities from the previous school year, using Thinglink (https://www.thinglink.com/card/1372474500381147137). Further, trying always to promote healthy habits and lifelong physical activity, on Sunday before and after the Erasmus Days (11/10/2020 & 18/10/2020), we invited our students and their parents to “Walk in the Nature” and discover the environment of our municipality. 

Slovenia: 

We celebrated Erasmus Days with an event called "Five Minutes for Health" where pupils followed the instructions of their PE teacher who gave them the on the loudspeaker and pupils and teachers did some stretching exercises following his instructions. Pupils liked this activity very much, because it was useful, nice and they had fun. They say they want to continue with such an activity because it’s nice to do some stretching as they sit at school most of the day. 

Spain: 

On 17th of October 2020 we celebrated the Erasmus days. It was an online meeting with families. During the event we explained: - The brochure we have made for informing families. - How was the project (name, countries, dates, kind of project...) - What kind of activities were set on it - What countries were going to visit and when. -What students were going to participate (ages). - The money we got from the European Union. We also give some gifts to the families that meet us online.

Zoom lessons

 Zoom lessons

4th June 2020: Zoom lesson U R WHAT U EAT Slovenia did an English lesson for the pupils of participating countries entitled U R What U Eat. The lesson was about the two main principles of a healthy lifestyle: healthy eating and adequate physical activity/exercise. 

The main focus was on conversation and a little bit of reading. The students where asked what kind of lifestyle do they have, then we watched a video about healthy eating (food pyramid) and did a listening activity. 

We analyzed the food pyramid (how many steps does it have, which food is in each step) and the students had to classify some food in the right group. Afterwards they took a look at the physical activity/exercise pyramid and compared it with the food pyramid. They spoke about their own physical activity and the lesson ended with a Kahoot quiz. 

On 10th June 2020 it was turn of Romania and their lesson Food for Thought. It aimed at pointing out how food you eat can affect your brain and revealing several healthy food options and physical exercises that can maintain the brain's health and improve its performance. The lesson proceeded with some examples of healthy lifestyle daily routine activities conveyed by the pupils and teachers. After their short testimonials, the meeting continued throughout a video about how food affects the brain followed by a few comprehension questions on Quizizz, then an exercise focusing on the use of modal should/shouldn't, a food vocabulary regrouping activity and a make sentences task. The class ended up by a conversation between the students on some given questions regarding the topic. 

On 17th June Spain had a lesson entitled Overweight: Past and Future. The lesson started sharing the results of their research, the students’ of the participant countries explained what were their grandparents’ snacks and favourite games and we contrasted with our current snacks and games. After their short testimonials, the meeting continued playing with some interactive games and doing an exercise focusing on the use of adverbs of frequency (always, usually, sometimes and never) to see the students’ daily habits. The session ended up by a conversation to arrive to the conclusion that our eating habits have changed and our sedentary lifestyle have increased so depend on us to change our lifestyle.

On 26th June 2020 the Greek team had an English lesson Metabolism, Physical Activity and Health. It aimed at pointing the importance of physical activity in maintaining energy balance and health in the long term. After a short presentation and terminology explanation, we watched two videos about calories and exercise benefits. We continued then with answering some interactive questions and doing an exercise focusing on the use of terminology related to metabolism and physical activity. 

The session ended up by a conversation based on the use of the Phet simulation “Eating and Exercise”, which showed that even small changes in energy balance can be of great importance!
