International approach
International approach
In the free part of this theme, our children could choose a subject connected to the sea to work with. The teachers have divided them in little groups. They did little 'investigations' in small groups using their 21st century skills. They had to work together, use multimedia, solve problems, be creative etc.
All the children were very enthusiastic, they all have been through a good process in which they've learned a lot.
At the end all groups had to present their workpiece.
You can find the results below with a short description.
