00:00:01,260 --> 00:00:06,259
Good morning! I am going to show you a presentation of my school and the project Learning Together.

2
00:00:06,259 --> 00:00:10,259
This project has given a boost of energy to the teachers in our school.

3
00:00:10,259 --> 00:00:14,259
We are focused on learning innovative methodologies and improving our own.

4
00:00:14,259 --> 00:00:23,260
In that sense, in our school we organize little job shadowing visits where we visit other teachers of the school to learn from each other.

5
00:00:23,260 --> 00:00:30,260
In addition, we are eager to participate in new Erasmus Plus projects, e-training projects, formatting projects, etc.

6
00:00:30,260 --> 00:00:36,359
The project Learning Together, accomplished by CEIP Las Cumbres, Mostales, Madrid, Spain,

7
00:00:36,359 --> 00:00:41,719
gives importance to the learning environments, by trying to make our school a more beautiful

8
00:00:41,719 --> 00:00:47,140
place with the help of all the school community, thanks to what we have learned and observed,

9
00:00:47,140 --> 00:00:51,079
among other places, at our twin school in Blackpool.

10
00:00:51,079 --> 00:00:55,820
Observation was the basis of the learning process carried out in the United Kingdom,

11
00:00:55,820 --> 00:01:01,200
which help us to implement methodologies to boost bilingual education in a whole school

12
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:05,719
and specifically at the stage of pre-school and kindergarten.

13
00:01:05,719 --> 00:01:09,599
Thanks to our project we have promoted two types of learning environments.

14
00:01:09,599 --> 00:01:12,140
One, outdoor learning environments.

15
00:01:12,140 --> 00:01:15,140
Two, indoor learning environments.

16
00:01:15,140 --> 00:01:20,920
Outdoor learning environments which boost the learning process such as the school garden,

17
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,540
board games area and fun playgrounds.

18
00:01:24,540 --> 00:01:30,299
indoor learning environments through the decoration of the music classroom, the school library,

19
00:01:30,299 --> 00:01:35,920
the decoration of our classrooms, and the school entrance, so that they look attractive

20
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:40,299
and comfortable places for all the school community.

21
00:01:40,299 --> 00:01:43,859
Learning environments are essential in any educational stage.

22
00:01:43,859 --> 00:01:49,620
In preschool education and kindergarten, it is essential to organize the classroom around

23
00:01:49,620 --> 00:01:56,239
learning corners and flexible spaces, which change according to the project in which they

24
00:01:56,239 --> 00:01:58,019
are working on.

25
00:01:58,019 --> 00:02:03,200
Teachers work in a multidisciplinary way, starting from a learning interest area, which

26
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,340
comprehends the whole preschool and kindergarten stage.

27
00:02:07,340 --> 00:02:12,840
Free projects are accomplished every school year, which are developed equally in Spanish

28
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:13,840
and English.

29
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:18,819
They pursue to foster experimentation, discovery, investigation, etc.

30
00:02:19,719 --> 00:02:34,120
Therefore, the learning environments are transformed into the universe, a cinema, a circus, an art museum, a cave, depending on the theme they choose to do.

31
00:02:34,620 --> 00:02:39,439
Other important learning environments we have promoted is the technological environments.

32
00:02:39,439 --> 00:02:47,680
The school has several ICT classrooms, interactive whiteboards, and tablets to be used by students

33
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,879
directed by the teacher.

34
00:02:49,879 --> 00:02:55,599
Finally, one of the main goals of the school is to develop inclusive environments and activities

35
00:02:55,599 --> 00:03:02,379
that allow all of our students to learn according to their skills, characteristics, and needs.

36
00:03:02,379 --> 00:03:06,699
In other words, our main objective is learning together.
