Feeling English!

SUMMARY
Our project is called “ Feeling English” and its main aim is to improve the communicative competence of our students in a motivating way. We want they “feel” the English Language as something special and meaningful.
We understand “Feeling English” as a process of internalization of English based on self-discovery (“All about me” project 1st cycle), through the knowledge of the environment (“The world around me” project 2nd cycle ) and finally the involvement and participation as citizens of the world in the immediate environment (“We are the world” 3rd cycle). So, our project includes activities into small projects adapted to each cycle taking into account the evolutionary characteristics and needs of our students.
Feeling English is a project related to other curricular areas such as Social Sciences and Arts&Crafts. It is opened up to other projects, involving students in Euronet 50/50 about sustainability in schools, which includes a network of primary schools in nine European countries. Its purpose is to raise awareness and promote energy efficiency, combating the climate change. Another aim is to use the blog in English of the school websites for 50/50 as the place to exchange the best practices, to share experiences and awareness as well as energy saving measures and monitoring.
It is also important to note that Barrufet School is involved in the European project Euronet 50/50, a project promoted by the Intelligent Energy Europe that aims to achieve more sustainable schools by saving energy. City and school to work collaboratively on this project. The idea is that 50% of the cost savings achieved, as a result of the energy efficiency measures undertaken by the students, is returned to the school in a financial transfer. The other 50% would be a savings to the City. Applying Euronet everyone wins: the school, the town hall and the environment.

Barrufet School won the National Quality Label for our eTwinning
project "Me and my world." It is a recognition awarded by the
National Support Service in each country to all the projects that complies with
the requirements for an eTwinning Project (pedagogical innovation and
creativity, curricular integration, collaboration between different schools,
use of new technologies ...) in our case with the approval of the Department of
Education.
Our eTwinning project has
already received (so far) five National Quality Labels, which means that soon
we will receive the European Quality Label (awarded by the Central Support
Service when at least two centers participating in the project have been
National Quality Label by the respective SNA). The European Quality Label is
awarded automatically twice a year, so it is not necessary to make any request.
(To participate in the awards
is needed that the European project has obtained a European Quality Label.)
This a sample of the activity done in the English
subject by the students in 6th grade about saving energy.
