And Poltava, UKRAINE flew their talking paper planes!





MALTA flew their planes too!

"As an introduction we watch the music video 'I lived' by One Republic. It talks about a teen that even though he has Cystic Fibrosis, he still tries a lot of things in life and doesn't hold back.

We also watched Leonardo di Caprio's Oscar's Acceptance Speech. He never gave up and finally won an award. He also used the time to send a powerful message to the world about Climate Change.

The 2 videos were discussed in class by the students. They than shared some of their fears, hopes and dreams. We are a multicultural school so various students who were from war stricken countries wrote that they feared War. Others mentioned a career as a 'dream' or a 'hope' whilst others mentioned 'peace' or 'health' as a dream for the world. Footballing was a major 'dream' in our school.

We than used our school grounds, specifically our bastions (built at the time of the Knights of St John) to fly the paper planes down to the school grounds. The children really enjoyed themselves :) Thanks for the idea!"



At St Edward's College Malta, the project took place during our Life Skills lesson with students aged 10-11 (Grade 6 of the Middle School).

MOLDOVA is with us too!

Let your fears, thoughts, fears, hopes, wishes and dreams fly like a paperplane!
                   

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Students will make a plane which will be made of a paper. They will write their thoughts, fears, hopes, wishes and dreams on it. In today's political climate, these terms are important. Then, they will fly them in the air to make it go faster and longer as possible.

Aims

To improve our students' language skills and broaden their knowledge. Also, to encourage communication and share our thoughts, fears, hopes, wishes and dreams within different countries, so that they have an oppurtunity to recognise differences and similarities in our lives.

Work process

Students will make a plane which will be made of a paper. They will write their thoughts, fears, hopes, wishes and dreams on it. Also they can draw something on it or paint it.Then, they will fly them in the air to make it go faster and longer as possible. While they are flying them, we as teachers will be recording or taking photos of them. We will upload them here.

Expected results

We want our students to understand the benefits and advantages of learning a foreign language that can help them communicate with and understand other cultures.
