PIC.Teamnary

Este ano lectivo desenvolvemos, com ambas as turmas do 4.º ano de escolaridade, o Projecto PIC.Teamnary – Projecto eTeam/EDU-LE. O nome do projecto nasce de um trocadilho de palavras: Picture + Team + Pictionary = PIC.Teamnary. Os pontos de partida para o projecto foram: a importância de uma sensibilização da Língua Estrangeira no 1.º Ciclo; o poder da conjugação do visual com o auditivo na aprendizagem de uma nova Língua (PICTURE); o lúdico no 1.º Ciclo. O projecto visou a construção de um jogo, por ambas as turmas, englobando todo o vocabulário abordado durante este ano lectivo. No dia de S. Valentim os alunos de ambas as turmas elaboraram um cartão do “Secret Friend” a fim de servir como actividade de ice-breaking no dia do encontro entre ambas. Os alunos apresentaram ilustrações de várias mascotes. O desenho escolhido pela maioria dos alunos é da autoria do aluno Bruno Dias. Posteriormente, procedeu-se à construção do logótipo.
