JOINING THE COMENIUS PROJECT
Everything began
when we received an e-
mail from Spanish, in
which they asked us if
we would like to join a
project under the EU`s
Comenius program .
The title of this project
was very interesting for
us “European Musial
Portfolio” because mu-
sic always plays very
important role in our
school. We happily
agreed and decided to
join it. I must say that
our cooperation with
the Spanish coordinator
was very good. There
were a lot of things to
discuss and carry out a
lot of paper work.
Soon we could an-
nounced that our school
as the first one in Prud-
nik District launched an
European partnership
project under the EU`s
Comenius educational
program “Lifelong
Learning”.
The project is realized
two years 2010-2012
with five other coun-
tries: Spain, Italy, Tur-
key, Romania and
Wales.
We are aware that espe-
cially for younger
learners music play fun-
damental role on cogni-
tive, physical and sensi-
tive development. This
project gives the oppor-
tunity both the students
and teachers to experi-
ence music in many dif-
ferent ways and ac-
quainted with the cul-
ture of participating
countries.
We hope that working
on this project with be
unforgettable adventure
for all of us.
It was founded in September
1945 in very difficult time just
after the II World War. The
working conditions were really
poor, there were 123 students at
different age and only two
teachers. From that time it has
changed a lot. Our school build-
ing is modern, classrooms are

important for
our school, be-
cause it cele-
brate its 60

equipped with newest technological in-
ventions. We are happy to attend to this
school. For this occasion teachers and stu-
dents prepared a lot of interesting activi-
ties such as: dancing show, the concert of
traditional Polish songs and many others.

their live. Such knowl-
edge is very important if
we want to help our chil-
dren. Our pupils have
possibility to attend vari-
ous kinds of after school
activities., e.g. sports
classes, drama groups,
art club, music club, etc.
Thus, children can ex-
press themselves in
many different ways: in
art, music, poetry, sports etc

I would like
to present a
very special
school which
is situated in
a small vil-
lage –
Moszczanka,
in the west-
ern part of
Poland. Our
school is
small in size but it is very
big in its achievements. All
these achievements are pos-
sible because wonderful and
unusual pupils and teachers
are there. Our teaching and
learning is inspired by Ce-
lestyn Freinet`s pedagogy.
His ideas, techniques and
methods help us to be better
teachers and develop our pu-
pils skills in many different
ways. We are lucky because,
an average, there are about
15 students in each class, so
we know our pupils very
well. We know their inter-
ests, hobbies, talents, fami-
lies and society in which

To familiarize our stu-
dents with the coun-
tries of our partners we
decided to prepare the
class project. There are
only six classes in our
school so each of the
class chose one country
and tried to find as many
interesting things about it
as possible. When the
project was ready there
was a big presentation. In this way our stu-
dents improve their knowledge about Spain,
Italy, Romania, Wales and Turkey. They had
a great time.

In October 2010 we had a first study visit in Spain. During working hours we
presented our schools and planned the
further work. In free time we visited
many interesting places. It was our
first close contact with this beautiful
country and lovely people living there.
The school year
2010/2011 was an-
nounced at our
school “The year

held, in which stu-
dents could de-

In May we had a pleasure to host teachers and students participating in the Comenius
project. The main purpose of the visit was to learn national dances and folklore of
partners` countries. Our students were playing the role of the guides showing school to
our guests. Students from Turkey were living
with Polish families for a few days to have op-
portunity to improve their language skills, learn
about the culture and habits of their peers.
Guests had the
opportunity to
see publications,
films and Power
Point presentations connected with various activities or-
ganized at school and also to develop free form of artistic expression. During the
working meetings each of the partners presented the national dances, which children
learn at school and the folklore of their coun-
try. We invited our guests to Cracow- one of the
most beautiful city in Poland. Our Italian friends
made a surprise and prepared very tasty pasta for
lunch.
We enjoyed
the time
spend to-
gether very
much.

At the same time
as we visited our
guests from part-

we held an event
called “Family
Festival”. During this event Polish children through
music and movement presented different stages of
human life. Our guests
also took part in the
great painting and writ-
ing titled "Family - show your
imagination".
At the playground parents with
teachers prepared a picnic where
everyone had the opportunity to
learn about Polish cuisine and try the
typical Polish dishes.

After summer holidays we
are coming back to school.
Some of our friends have
just left the school, some
came for the first time. We
start everything from the
beginning like opening a
new page in the book of
our life.
At the beginning of October we gathered students together to explain them
the idea of Musical Portfolio. We have chosen students from 3rd to 6th
grades who have shown some musical talent and have been interested in
working on Musical Portfolio.
They started to fill in information about
themselves in Biography, Passport and Dos-
sier Parts. We also established days of our
meetings because some materials have to be
done at Music lessons whereas other infor-
mation has to be completed at English
classes.
GOOD LUCK!

To tell the truth there
aren`t so many ethnic

Another important
thing connected
with instruments is
how our children at
school are ac-
quainted with them
at different stages
of learning. Chil-
dren in Polish
schools are famil-
iarized with musical instruments very
early just when they start their educa-
tion. This presentation also shows
school activities connected with musi-

In this part we
would like to draw
your attention to
musical instruments
typical for our
country. Poland is

regions where we
can find different
musical instru-
ments. Such instru-
ments are shown on

als and discuss what we

SUMMERY OF OUR PROJECT
The Comenius project left a lot of positive effects in every one.
Our students were able to get know more about customs, habits and traditions
of the participating countries and to increase their knowledge in many aspects
of Music. They also improved their language skills as a lot of work was done
in English and they were encouraged to use it in many different ways.
Working together with our European friends allowed us to meet them person-
ally. During our visits we could find out about their customs and traditions
and to see differences and similarities in our Educational Systems especially in
Music. We also had the chance to deepen the knowledge of teaching and prac-
tice the English language.
It can be said, that we differ in many ways but, on the other hand we are similar
because music is important for us and it unites all European people.
It`s a pity that this project comes to the end, but each of us will keep in mind
wonderful moments spent together and we will try to keep in touch.
