Minutes from Comenius project meeting
Friedrich Fröbel Schule, Maintal, Germany
Thursday 27th November 2014
Present
Wales,
Germany, Denmark, France, Turkey
Apologies
Poland
·
Siân
introduced the meeting – purpose being to recap what has been done and what still
needs to be completed.
·
Siân
extended thanks to Beate, Heiko and Judith and all their colleagues for their
fabulous hospitality during our stay and visit to the school. All parties
agreed we have had a fabulous start to our visit, the choir and Comenius group
were great and the school should be very proud. Thank you also for our
presented gifts.
·
With
regards to the Comenius project, everything is going well this term and looking
forward to next term.
·
Siân
asked if there were any problems since our last meeting. Wales had a small
problem due to our school closing and relocating. We didn’t have time to
complete the soup / bread making activities but are hoping to do this next
term.
·
Well
done to everyone for continuing to use the blog to update photographs and
activities, it’s lovely to see what is going on in each school.
·
RE:
recipes for book. Please send all recipes (if you’ve not already done so) to
Bente in .pdf format and provide her with hard copies. Bente will make up the
book and we will all receive a copy in Turkey. She will also send an electronic
copy to all.
·
Bente
commented that those she had already received looked really good and that they
had already started work on the book. Siân will write the foreword for the book
on behalf of the group.
·
Work
to complete: photographs and videos of Christmas / New Year celebrations to be
sent via DVD to each of the partner schools by the end of January.
·
We
discussed that the DVD should reflect traditions of Christmas in your country
so footage can be included from local area / homes too. The DVD should not be
too long as we will want to be showing these to our pupils.
·
Next
activity: the focus is music. Each school should produce a CD of traditional
music / songs from their country to bring to Turkey for exchange.
·
Anne
asked whether traditional dance could be included. All agreed yes. We also
reiterated that it can be famous music from your country, not necessarily the
pupils singing / playing.
·
Thomas
asked if the music had to be in the native language. We agreed yes and this
will reflect the different countries, and it should be about what the pupils
enjoy too.
·
Finally
before our next meeting, it would be a good idea, if possible, to send out
letters to parents to gauge interest in the recipe book so initial projections
may be made. Thomas asked whether we would be selling this at a fixed price.
Siân discussed that this would very much depend on how much it cost to get the
books produced, as this will vary in each country. Also, we are not looking to
make any profit from the book sales, simply cover the costs of production.
·
Denmark
dates confirmed as 6th – 10th May 2015. As European Day
falls during this week, while we are in Turkey – we will decide an alternative
date for this celebration.
·
Turkey
dates confirmed as 18th -22nd March 2015.
o
Zafer
confirmed to all that the school is in the Asian part of the city and there are
2 airports.
o
If
possible, partners should fly to Sabiha
Gokcen Airport (SAW) as this is nearest.
o
The
other airport is Ataturk Airport (IST). This
is much further way. Transfer can be arranged but this will be more difficult.
o
Zafer
will send over some hotel options for all to see. All agreed we would stay in
the same hotel.
·
SKYPE:
This is still an issue for France and we need to ensure, wherever possible that
the Skype conferences are completed each term – technology allowing!
·
Re
sunflower competition: all agreed that Norway and Denmark could fight it out
for the winner’s title!
·
Siân
reminded Heiko that we will need certificates of attendance before we leave.
Danke, until next time!
