This school year our 5th graders are writing snail mail letters to Finnish pupils in Martinniemen school, in Finland.
In May 2024 two English teachers from our school visited that Finnish school and got to know better their system of education. Due to that visit cooperation between our schools began.
We truly believe that the idea of penpals in today's virtual world is unique and very enhancing for our pupils. Children enjoy creating and decorating the letters, they even made Christmas cards. The letters received from Finland brought a lot of joy to them.
Our language learners will simply be motivated by a desire to learn a new skill and to enjoy the experience of doing so:)
That's the best way of getting to know different cultures and traditions also!
