School Project Ideas:
1. ‘Escola Inglesa Newspaper’
Start a school newspaper:
Whether it’s a series of articles or a complete newspaper filled with articles, cartoons, puzzles, adverts and announcements. One ‘editor’ per class, students could express what they have learnt or enjoyed in their class this week. This could be a weekly project, that then each student would get a copy they could take home and collect over time, this would serve as a reminder for what they have learned throughout the year, and also a reminder of their time at Escola Inglesa, furthermore, giving them an opportunity to showcase their work to parents and beyond. The newspaper could also be published in the school’s Facebook page and perhaps a ‘chosen’ page to the local newspaper. The newspaper could include cross words, funny jokes that students come up with or interactive activities to complete at home with parents or in class during ‘free time’.
- To take it a step further we could ask for volunteers to be our ‘news agents’ and they read out the ‘highlight of the week’ like a TV Broadcast– this could be recorded and shown on the TV in the entrance. - Could have delegated students to ‘interview’ people around the school (Dra Clara, the secretaries, the teachers, even other students, maybe even parents!) - Some extra topics that could be included in the newspaper are: global issues, regional news, birthday reminders/wishes, star pupil from each class (for the week)
Writing their own newspaper could promote self-confidence, improve writing skills
2. ‘Healthy mind, healthy body’
Build a school garden.
Older children could help with the initial creation of the garden. They could help dig the vegetable patch and plant the seeds or bulbs. Once the garden has begun to grow, children from all across the school can visit the garden, taking turns to water it and harvest any produce that grows. A garden is a great way to create a shared goal throughout the school. This is also a long term project that will grab children’s interest throughout the whole year.
Gardening should promote healthy eating within your school. Children could be invited to try any vegetables that they pick from the garden which could create a lifelong interest in gardening. It also promotes responsibility and commitment to Escola Inglesa overall.
We could do weekly activities about gardening and the importance of healthy eating.
- We could invite parents at the end of each term to the school to see the garden and perhaps have a ‘meal’ /cook a meal with the students using some ingredients from the garden.
3. Socially strong online
A school project for digital responsibility
The aim of this school project is to sensitize students to various aspects of social media: Online etiquette: Students should learn how to interact with each other in a respectful and friendly manner to encourage positive digital communication. You can discuss different situations and develop recommendations for action.
Data protection and privacy: Young people should understand what information they can share online and what information should be better protected. It's important to talk about the possible consequences of thoughtless posting.
Fake news and media literacy: The students should learn to recognize false information and to deal critically with the content they consume online. Practical exercises for fact-checking and distinguishing between reputable sources can be carried out here.
Cyberbullying: The issue of cyberbullying needs to be addressed seriously. Students should
understand how to protect themselves from cyberbullying and how to appropriately respond to such incidents.
Various methods can be used to make the project interesting and interactive , such as discussion rounds, role plays or guest lectures. For example, students can also create their own information material and then share the results with their classmates in the form of an information stand or lecture.
- A school project on social media can provide a valuable opportunity to educate students on the importance of using digital media responsibly. Young people spend several hours a day on platforms such as TikTok and Instagram. However, young users are often unaware of how their actions online can affect others or how they themselves are affected by the content of others. - Could teach students how to use social media effectively - Create content for the school’s Facebook page
