General Programme Outline

12th May 2020

Blue Star Programme

Our pupils from 2nd to 6th classes are actively participating in the ‘Blue Star Programme’ for the academic school year 2020-2021. The aim of this programme is to foster better knowledge and understanding of the European Union and how it affects our pupils’ lives through classroom projects and activities.

Through curriculum work, we are challenged to get creative and think about Europe by carrying out projects in relation to four key elements: the history, geography, culture and creativity, and Institutions of the EU.
  
As a first step, we decided to research and do project work on a European country and the country we chose was The Netherlands. We unleashed our creativity through the use of online technologies and tools. In particular, we used the application ‘Book Creator’ on our ipads to create these wonderful digital books that are filled with amazing facts and wonderful images about The Netherlands.
