Weekly meeting

At the beginning of our meeting we gave a glimpse at  the activities our partner schools have organized. We noticed that French have created nice logos, Spanish surprised us with their "Famous people" contest and we found the drawings at Turkish blog being beautiful.



Today we continued creating the water-dictionary. Teacher Meeli introduced us a method to define things by using key words. As the project activities are aimed to make us learn new things, we used world maps and Internet. Diana, Signe, Anu, Maarja-Liisi, Johannese, Gladise, Keneti, Hans-Martty and teachers Raigo and Edda managed to define quite a lot of words. 





Kaarel-Eerik, Sten and Marten were assisted by teacher Katre to study the water sample taken from the local water reservoir.



Students also gave feedback about our last trip to Tallinn. Such positive feedback makes us organize another social event in December. Teacher Raigo and Meeli will help to create another contest for all students. This time on the topic of geography and history in our partner countries. Of course questions will  be concerning  water.
