ANNOUNCEMENT - Summer School

This week we're having... summer school! :) Lots of children might hate the idea of going to school during their summer holidays, but it's fun! Coordinated by Mrs Mihaela Flueras - helped by Mrs Cristina Tabacaru, Mrs Maria Sofroni, and myself - groups of students of various ages are playing educational games, using tablets, mobile phones, and laptops. They are learning, developing new skills, and enjoying themselves in the process! :D

What they've being doing is being gradually posted onto the Facebook page of the Erasmus+ IDEAL project: https://www.facebook.com/ErasmusplusIDEAL/

My own proposal for this week is a nonformal WebQuest: House Flipping. For those who want to try it at home, here it is:

Here is a model, but don't try to imitate it too closely - be original!

Enjoy! :D

THOUGHTS on MUSIC and FILMS - Oldies (Toate panzele sus)

As I was caught in a discussion about books and films that feature ships and sailors, I remembered this old TV series, possibly the best one made in our country, even though it was made a long time ago, before I was even born: Toate panzele sus! Have you seen it? If you haven't, look it up on youtube - and perhaps you should read the book - you may find it at the library - its author is Radu Tudoran.

Meet the captain: Anton Lupan. And his friend, Pierre Vaillant.

And meet the crew, too:

The girl, Adnana, is not an original member of the crew, but she becomes one eventually.

And this is my favourite character, Ismail (the cook), probably the most emblematic role for Jean Constantin:

The series is perfect for all ages - and you might enjoy the novel as a summer read. :)
