We are very pleased to report that the first videoconference between AMORES schools took place last week! The VC between two schools ABIS School4Child Łódź, POLAND and Skægkærskolen Silkeborg, DENMARK lasted one lesson (45 minutes) and more than 40 pupils from both countries participated, accompanied by 4 teachers. The VC was hosted by the Polish school according to the lesson plan prepared in advance.

Two of the Polish students had short talks about the main plot and characters of Mr. Blot’s Academy by Jan Brzechwa and Polish students’ fictional visit to Mr. Blot’s Academy so that Danish students could feel the context of the cookery books creation (Polish e-artefacts) and best recipe contest during the videoconference.
The main part of the VC lesson was to present Polish recipes and dishes to Danish students. Polish students prepared 2 cookery books with over 20 “magical” dishes which they created in Mr. Blot’s kitchen. Prior to the conference the Polish pupils selected 5 recipes. Each Polish pupil nominated for the contest presented their dish and Danish students were asked to award the dish with clapping. The winner was Magic Banana Coctail prepared by Gerard (student 4b).
Once the contest was finished Danish students presented their quiz questions and Polish students had a chance to learn about Denmark. This part was very interactive and involved both groups very actively. Polish students liked it a lot and they will certainly prepare a similar quiz with questions about Poland for the next conference with Denmark.
After the conference Anna Sowińska, the Principal of ABiS School4Child and Anna Lewandowicz, the Polish Language teacher were interviewed and recorded with reference to the school’s involvement in the AMORES project.
