A day in the schoollife in Croatia...

Hi from Spain!
This is school CEIP San Juan in Antequera. We lived in the centre of Andalusia. Antequera is very well located from the other Andalusian towns:Granada, Córdoba, Málaga and Seville. We are very lucky for this. But now we are training to make a chain reaction and this is not very easy. We wish for all you encourage and forth.

Malta

Hi from Rabat, Malta. Malta is a small island (part of an archipelago, covering a total area of 300km). Rabat is situated near the old capital of Malta and is very rich in archeological finds especailly from the Roman era.

Our school is a public primary for both boys and girls. It consists of 2 seperate buildings and it caters for about 500 students from age 3 to 11. All children learn two languages: Maltese and English, and the upper classes are presently being introduced to German. The school forms part of a St. Nicholas college which joins together 6 other villages.

My class is looking forward to this project.

HI FROM ZADAR, CROATIA

Hi from Zadar, an ancient, 3 thousand old Mediterrannean beauty on the Adriatic coast. The main part of Zadar is our peninsula that is surrounded by medieval walls.

Apart from many churches, museums, galleries...there are two modern tourist attractions: 'Greetings to the sun' and 'Sea organs' (music is produced by the waves).

Our Bartula kasica Primary school is situated in the suburbs of Zadar. There are about one thousand students (aged 7 to 4) who attend school in 2 shifts.They teach English as the first foreign language from the first grade, but can choose Italian or German in the grade 4.

We are happy to offer our pupils the chance to meet their international pals through many eTwinning projects we take part in as much as by taking part in Comenius Project.

Our school web address is: http://os-bkasica-zadar.skole.hr/

The rules of the game...

The Rube Goldberg Project is a science/art project for primary schools wishing to create, film and upload a "Rube-Goldberg-like" chain reaction. This project is also a competition! The school which uploads the most astonishing, creative chain reaction not only wins a trophy, but also wins tons of faim!

This eTwinningproject allows 20 schools - all from different countries - to enter the competition! By entering the competition you agree to the following rules:

The timeline:

- When you enter the competition, your school e-mails an image of the school and a short text in which the school presents herself!

- You and your class will have until Friday 14 January 2011 to create, practice, film and upload a video of your chain reaction to a videosite (like Vimeo, Youtube, ...) and embed it in this blog.

- When all videos are uploaded to the blog every school will watch the entries of the other participants and will decide on wich countries receive the points (1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 points).

All points should be e-mailed to Dave Schrauwen by Thursday January 20th 2011.

- On Friday the class of Dave will record a newsflash announcing who will be the winner of the project. The link to this video will be kept secret until Monday January 24th 11:00

(Brussels time). On 11:00 Brussels time the video will be embedded into the website, so everyone can find out how well they scored in this competition! The winning school will be sent a specially commissioned trophy, but above all wins the everlasting respect of all the other participants!

RULES

You need to sign up for the blog, whereby you will be able to upload your finished chain reaction in due course.

In addition, please send Dave a brief description of your school, along with a photograph, that Dave will add to the blog, so that each country can see who is all taking part.

4. Schools who are willing to upload a short film in which they present themselves, please go ahead so we can get to know you better!

All files MUST be uploaded byFriday 14th Januray, as each country will then need to watch all the entries and judge them during the following week- Monday 17th- Thursday 20th January.

8.
