First things first

NETIQUETTE and e-Safety are of most importance! Through video and activities, we made sure that the kids understand the dengers the internet might hide and how to use it for learning and fun. We also made a list for teacher tasks, with the use of GoogleDocs, in order to organish our project.

The adventure begins

We begin our journey with excitement! All partner schools make creative suggestions for the project logo. Through voting, our Earth Heroes choose the one they liked the most!Each teacher introduced the problem to her pupils with a unique way! But how does this monster look like? The kids used their imagination and draw the monster the way they thought it might look like. A collaborative monster was created by each partner school! We learned about our planet through many supporting materials that we shared.

The Earth is free at last!

We worked hard, learned a lot and had fun! We played several online games, created for this project, took part in many collaborative activities and contactide experiments so that we can learn how to take care of our planet. All project partners had a close communication through out the project, not only through scheduled meetings, but also through our what's app group. We posted our progress on Twinspace and on our facebook page. Each school celebrated Earth Day and set the Earth free! We had a final student meeting to say a final goodbye to all this amazing Earth Heroes!

Thank you!

We can all become Earth Heroes! Our planet needs to be protected and nature deserves our respect.As Chief Seattle said: "The Earth does not belong to us. We belong to the Earth".
