SI: The Conference on Language Testing and Assessment (Poland)

On 6 October teachers from our school participated in a conference devoted to language teaching, testing and assessment. The conference was organized by Mrs. Beata Tomaszewska who is the main advisor of English language teaching in our region. What is more, matters concerning students' mobility were also pondered over and various forms of organizing those kinds of exchanges were discussed during that event. It was a great possibility to promote both Erasmus+ projects that are implemented in our school. Our teachers prepared a Power Point presentation which aim was to present main information about those projects and their successful implementation in Zespół Szkół nr 7. 
 

 

Discussion about eating disorders (FIN, POL)

On 5 November, six students from Vesanto and 6 students from Torun had a discussion in eTwinning's TwinSpace chatroom on the topic of eating disorders. Here is a short summary of that discussion.

Eating disorders discussion

Most of people people knew someone who deal with eating disorders. No one have ever had health problems on a diet. No one has ever been on a special diet except one is vegetarian. Many persons said that they eat 5 meals per day but someone eats only 3. Finnish people eat normal homemade food. To help people suffering from eating disorders you can try to support them. A family and friends are important. You can talk about that and try to get them help. We thought that there is a connection between the image of beautiful body by the mass media and the eating disorders. That´s because the social media makes the false image of body. A discussion was great and mind-opening.

On 5 November we were talking with students from Finland about eating disorders. All of us know people who deal with eating disorders. But no one had health problems due to extreme diets. Most of students weren’t on a diet, but one girl tried to become a vegetarian once. Participants of this conversation generally eat five meals a day. To help people suffering from anorexia or bulimia we can talk with them and support them in this way. Unfortunately, there is a strong connection between the image of beautiful body advertised by the mass media and the eating disorders. However, by discussing those subjects we can become more aware of this problem and we can try to find means of solving it.

Eating disorders (Poland)

Students of our school were asked to prepare presentations about eating disorders, the dangers of diets and the factors that lead to eating disorders. The presentations that were discussed during Biology lessons provided valuable information on the most common eating disorders i.e. obesity, anorexia, bulimia and compulsive overeating. 

You can see the effects of the students’ work as well as the overall analysis of the topics below.

What is more, they created posters listing nutrients in foods that helped their classmates to understand how to keep to the rules of balanced diet.

Reasons for, dangers connected with and ways of preventing eating disorders were discussed by our biology teachers and students in great detail during the biology classes. Despite that our home economics teacher decided to support this subject during her lessons and prepared with students healthy snacks (based on fruit and cereals) to show them how they can enrich their everyday diet with healthy nutrients and vitamins. Photos of those tasty snacks you can admire below ;)

Supportive initiatives - The European Day of Languages (Poland)

To celebrate the European Day of Languages and to promote one of the project goals (that is enhancing speaking skills of our students) we prepared a special event called ‘Let’s talk’. During one of the lunch breaks students could come to the room no 104 and talk with their teachers in English, Spanish and German. They could ask five questions and after the ‘small talk’ they were rewarded with small gifts. That was a very rewarding experiences also for the teachers as we did not expect such an enthusiasm! ;)
