(POLAND) TASK 5 - MATHS & CREATIVITY

Creating a song, a rap or a poem about Maths

This time Maths inspired our students to create their own songs and poems - of course on Maths. Then they presented - recited or sang - their works in front of their classmates. On 1 June - celebrated as Children's Day in Poland - they performed their songs and poems in front of their schoolmates and teachers as well as guests from other local primary schools during the school celebration. 
The photos below present our students after the class presentations - they're holding their poems and songs: 






Here our students are working on their poems and songs in groups and pairs:
