Italian Reflections on the Camp

On the last evening the Italian group presented a wonderful movie reflection on the lessons they took away with them from the camp. They started the work in the video editing workshop and spent all Friday afternoon completing while the other groups swam, enjoyed the sun and completed the treasure hunt:

Flying high with Italian Ballet and Hip Hop

The Italian class had a great performance between a video presentation, a song and three dances. Linking their performance to the 2008 Year of Intercultural Dialogue, the students also gave an inside look into their new eTwinning project in 2008 called "Penser l'Autre".

After the presentation, the dance number then began with one student doing ballet (see the great jump on the right!) followed by two students dancing hip hop. All three then danced together, mixing both styles to give the overall sense of the beauty of mixing different styles and cultures together.

The entire Italian group then finished together in song.

Have a look at the short VIDEO CLIP we have so far of the ballet number. There are more to come!

Congratulations on a job well done and good luck with your new project!

A Spanish Dance

Pupils from Galicia, Spain, started off their talent slot with a lovely traditional song from their region which they sang with the help of cymbals and clapping from the crowd. The song reminded some of us of traditional indigenous songs. It was really nice!

Following their song, everyone turned to the back of the room to watch them perform a lively dance routine. All dressed up like skeletons, the song and dance together gave us a nice overview of Galician culture.

What Extraordinary Talent!!!

As the closing ceremony of the eTwinning Camp 2008, everyone gathered together to give special awards and to enjoy the final "Talent Show". Each school prepared their performance in advance and so it was a real treat to experience singing and dancing from across Europe.

In the photo on the right, pupils from Berlin, Germany, performed an amazing Egyptian dance that they learned from their class assistant, Dina. The performance was absolutely breathtaking and the costumes were gorgeous!

You are all stars!
