This cross-curricular project will help pupils learn about the environment through observation and improve their communicative and ITC Skills. Pupils will observe the weather every school day and make comparisons with the partner schools through bar graphs and flashmeetings. They will learn songs in native and English languages, have a taster in their partner languages by listening to songs and they will practice their reading skills through information related to Earth, weather and nature.
