CEIP Sanchis Guarner has been awarded the European Quality Seal in three projects on the prestigious eTwinning language platform. The awarded eTwinning projects have been:

• Meet Europe and learn Languages! European Day of Languages, developed by English teacher Rosa Ana Marí. With this project, students have practiced English in an innovative way, sharing songs and educational games online with schools in 23 member countries, through the use of web 2.0 educational platforms.

• English with Games, a project developed by the English teacher Maria Dolores Monzó and shared with schools in Jordan, Poland and Turkey, whose main objective is the creation and use of educational games to learn English in a playful and fun way using the electronics devices.

• Industry 4.0 Time, Robotic Coding. Developed by Raül Lara, it is a project for the exchange of technological experiences to develop the computational thinking of students in the use of block programming and educational robotics. A cooperative work with Turkey, France, Italy, Romania and Portugal.

ETwinning is part of Erasmus+ and is an educational program of the European Union whose main objective is the exchange of projects and activities between different European schools online through technologies and making use of these, promoting and enhancing participatory work. and collaboration between teachers and students from the different member countries. With the webcam and interactive screens, the classes of the European Schools are virtually united to work cooperatively.

A few weeks ago a climbing wall was installed on the outside wall of the gym in the courtyard of the Sanchis Guarner center, with the image of our esteemed Segària and under the motto “We climb towards equality”. The AMPA has assumed the entire cost of the climbing wall, thanks to the contributions of the member families.

It is an installation that allows climbing at a low height, applying movements that combine technique and plenty, providing muscle toning in a healthy and fun way. A highly enriching, playful, educational activity that also produces great benefits for children since it combines fun with sport, thus combating a sedentary lifestyle and therefore childhood obesity. It also allows to improve psychomotor skills and helps children to overcome themselves and gain self-confidence, as they observe their progress, favoring their self-esteem.

Like the AMPA, we want the students to take advantage of it and enjoy it a lot! Very grateful to El AMPA and to the partner families.

On May 31, the students Helping ICT from the Educational Research and Innovation project #Stop Cyberbullying: Good use of ICT and the Internet, gave a keynote speech to families. The objective of this activity is to raise awareness and sensitize families and disseminate the project. The families welcomed the talk by the students at the Casa de la Cultura and described it as highly positive.

The main objective of this Educational Innovation Project is to raise awareness and sensitize both students and families about the correct use of technologies and that they know and reflect on the risks and dangers of the Internet and social networks, such as grooming, phishing , sexting, identity theft, addiction to screens… from the point of view of cybersecurity and against cyberbullying.

The “ICT Helpers”, 6th grade student volunteers, through peer learning and service learning, helped us achieve this goal with their talks and reflections in the classes during tutoring hours using videos, slides and powerpoints created by them and them.

With this method, based on peer learning and peer support, service learning is promoted and developed in our Center, that is, students learn a series of concepts and values ​​and, at the same time, apply them to serve and help the entire Educational Community.

The “ICT Helpers” students make a self-assessment of their intervention in a playful and dynamic way, using some mobile-shaped pallets. Finally, they carry out a research process through questions, with the aim of analyzing the use they make of technologies outside the school environment for statistical purposes.

On June 1, the Awards ceremony of the IV Edition of the Girls4STEM Project took place in Caixafòrum València, where our Sanchis Guarner de Ondara school obtained double recognition of the Girls4STEM Project developed in 5th grade, coordinated by Raúl Lara.

Firstly, 1st Prize in the video-biography contest about the STEM Experts who have visited us at our center during this course: Sandra Roger, telecommunications engineer; Silvia Cobos, engineer and architect; and Lola Llobat, geneticist and veterinarian.

Secondly, COCEMFE Award for the best project that promotes equal opportunities among students, favoring educational inclusion.

Before the awards ceremony, the students enjoyed the “Family Talk” given by Valeria Castro, president of the Spanish Video Games Association, and director of her company Platonic Games, who explained her entire career and career.

The Girls4STEM Project, promoted by the Higher Technical School of Engineering of the University of Valencia, is an excellent initiative to promote STEM vocations (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) in the students of educational centers, especially girls, who have been very happy and satisfied to have participated. Arousing curiosity about STEM issues and making STEM women, their research, developments and advances visible, are one of the fundamental pillars of the Girls4STEM project.
