At the beginning of June 2015 13 students
of our class went to their primary schools to tell the pupils there something
about our Involve me & I learn
project and to show them the video about our school.
We visited 5 primary schools in Ljubljana
and its vicinity and talked to approximately 330 pupils and 20 teachers. Before
having our presentations we had to get in touch with the principals of primary
schools to set the dates. We presented
the project to 8th grade pupils (the ones who will be leaving
primary school in a year’s time). The presentation lasted between 15 and 45
minutes, depending on pupils’ interest. We started the lesson with some
information about our project in general, we also showed them the project’s
website and blog, then we showed them the video we had made and at the end we
told them something about our school and answered their questions if there were
any. The teachers were really eager to know something more about our project; while
the feedback from pupils was different in every class - some of them had a lot
of questions and others just sat there silently.
Our opinion on the experience:
-
We had a great time at our primary school, because we saw our
teachers and we also got a snack J. The presentation of the project was easy, especially because we
knew a lot of the pupils and teachers. This was a great and valuable experience
for us. Ana and Jona

The project is an interesting topic, so it was fun presenting it.
Because we did not prepare any text in advance, we were a bit worried about
having the presentation and organizing it all, but soon realized it had all
been a waste of time - we were great at presenting it and really relaxed. The
teacher was thrilled at the end of our presentation, and so were some of the
students who asked us quite a lot of questions. Lea, Ela
and Julija

The presentation of the project was quite easy, probably because we
were relaxed and not nervous at all. At the end of every presentation (we had 4
of them in 4 different classes) we also got a round of applause. It was nice to
go back to primary school and say hello to our teachers and try being in their
shoes. Ema, Tinkara, Jan and Rok
-
We think the whole experience was a positive one and we are happy we
could gain some new experience in the field of teaching, because we had never
explained anything to people we had never seen before. It was also interesting to
see how different classes of students responded to our presentation. Janja and
Veronika C.

We were a bit nervous from the start, especially in the first class
we presented our project; but after doing it successfully for the first time,
it was really easy and we did it with a lot of self confidence in the next two
classes. Ilija and Gal
