Year 5 students from St. Nicholas College Mgarr Primary School were welcomed in Szkola Podstawowa nr52 in Krakow Poland as part of an Erasmus Project. Through different activities workshops and sessions, students reached different learning outcomes of this project.
Students used a comparative learning method when they studied Malta and Poland as two different countries. Through comparing and contrasting the cultures and histories of Malta and Poland, students gained a greater understanding of the diverse and unique characteristics that make each country distinct in the European Landscape. Students became more aware of different cultures and expressions. Grabbing a deeper understanding of Krakow legends helped inspire critical thinking and analytical skills as they examined the origins and themes within the legends. Our year 5 students immersed themselves in local cultural events while preparing traditional dishes with the locals. They gained a deeper understanding of how traditions shape the identity of their people. Students engaged with the locals and participated in traditional activities to gain a better understanding of the unique cultural traditions and ways of life in rural Poland. All of the workshops and activities were documented in journals, PowerPoint presentations, documentation, photos and videos.
