A TEACHING ASSIGNMENT IN ITALY

 🌍✨ Erasmus+ in action! ✨🌍

From 13–17 April 2026, Mrs Ewa Stopa completed her mobility at the preschool “Istituti Paritari Plateja Maritain SCUOLA 3.0 – ETS” in Taranto, Italy 🇮🇹. Her role was to support local teachers in their daily educational activities and to work with the youngest learners 👧🧒.

🇬🇧💬 During her stay, she led and co-led various English language activities for preschool and early primary children, including: ☀️ the daily weather routine 🎶 interactive songs and action songs developing vocabulary and listening skills 🃏 flashcard-based vocabulary practice 📚 rhymes and phonological awareness activities 🌸 spring-themed lessons (colours, nature, animals, plants) 🏃‍♂️🎉 movement games such as “Simon says”

All activities were delivered in a playful, engaging, child‑centred way, encouraging participation, creativity, and natural exposure to English in a multilingual and multicultural environment 🌈🤝.

An important part of the mobility was also the exchange of experiences and good practices with teachers from Taranto — inspiring conversations, new ideas, and building meaningful international cooperation 🌐💡.

We thank Mrs. Ewa Stopa for her dedication and for representing our institution so beautifully within the Erasmus+ Accreditation! 💙⭐

 

A GROUP MOBILITY FROM CROATIA

From 13 to 17 April, our school carried out another activity within the Erasmus+ project, hosting 10 students and 2 teachers from the primary school in Nustar, Croatia.
The mobility participants were welcomed by 10 Polish families, who generously opened their homes and enabled the students to experience everyday life in Poland.

On Monday, an official welcome ceremony took place at the school, followed by an integration bonfire 🔥.
Later, the Croatian delegation visited the Mayor of the Świlcza Municipality, Mr Dawid Homa, who emphasised the importance of international cooperation and educational exchange 🤝.

JOB SHADOWING IN MALTA

 

ERASMUS+ – JOB SHADOWING IN MALTA

From 23 to 27 March, Headmistress M. Mazepa and J. Wiśniewska took part in a five‑day job shadowing experience at St. Nicholas College, Rabat Primary School – a Catholic primary school in Malta for children aged 3 to 11.

The school has 420 students and employs over 100 teachers, psychologists, and support staff. Both students and teachers attend school daily from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. School uniforms are required and take the form of tracksuits. Students are not allowed to use mobile phones. Everyone speaks Maltese and English, as these are the two official languages of Malta.

If a student is absent for more than three days, only a medical certificate can justify the absence. Homework is compulsory. If a student fails to complete it, they may stay after lessons to finish it. Assigning homework in every subject after each lesson is viewed positively, as it teaches young people responsibility and accountability for their own learning process.

The school’s motto is: “Education does not begin nor does it end at school.”

The value of Erasmus+

The opportunities offered by Erasmus+ accreditation are truly invaluable. Discovering other educational systems, observing different approaches to working with students, and meeting teachers in their everyday professional environment — all of this becomes an added value to every project activity.

JOB SHADOWNIG - TEACHERS FROM HUNGARY

 VISIT BY TEACHERS FROM HUNGARY – CLASSROOM OBSERVATION

From 16 to 20 March, we welcomed three teachers from a Catholic primary school in Eger, Hungary, to our school. They came to observe the school’s work and our teachers in the early years classrooms as part of the Erasmus+ accreditation awarded to their school. Their stay was full of interesting events – during the Year 7 trip to Markowa, at the Ulma Family Museum of Poles Saving Jews During the Second World War, they met the former President of Poland, Mr Andrzej Duda. In addition, the teachers went to the cinema and took a walk around Rudna Wielka with Year 5. We hope that in the future we will be able to establish closer cooperation with this school.

A SLEIGH RIDE IN SIEDLISKO JANCZAR

 SLEIGH RIDE IN SIEDLISKO JANCZAR

On 9 July, classes V and VI a went with their teachers to Siedlisko Janczar in Pstrągowa. First, they watched the horses during training, then they took a carriage ride through the beautiful snow-covered slopes, and finally everyone enjoyed delicious roasted sausages.

A COURSE IN MALTA

 Teaching For Nature, Teaching For The Future

 

On 26–30 January, three teachers from our school took part in the ‘Teaching For The Nature, Teaching For The Future’ course in Miellieħa, Malta. The training was carried out as part of the Erasmus+ accreditation, which gives teachers the opportunity to improve their professional skills in an international environment.

During the course, participants learned about the principles of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. The training focused on practical ways of implementing pro-environmental content into everyday teaching, developing a reflective approach to teaching, and methods of increasing student engagement and motivation.

The participants also gained knowledge and skills in planning and implementing inspiring, environmentally friendly educational projects, as well as promoting pro-environmental attitudes in the school community. An important element of the course was the exchange of experiences and good practices with teachers and educational staff from different European countries, which helped to broaden perspectives and establish international cooperation.
