We have already finished our workshop with the kids and I am really satisfied with our work, even with our classmates’ involvement in the workshop too. As Yoli said, I would have liked to have the opportunity to see our classmates development of the activities, it would have been so rewarding for all of us.
Besides, I decided commenting on you because you exposed very well the whole idea of our workshop and once we have carried it out I would like to highlight those aspect I considered essential for the development of the project.
In first place, motivation is crucial. We all know that and I think we did our best in order to achieve that. We could see the enthusiasm of some of the students in their faces and it was so rewarding.
Secondly, team work was essential too. Involvement, planning, communication and ability for improvising are those characteristics I would highlight not only in our work but also in every workshop carried out in a school. Children could notice the lack of communication, planning or involvement from the first moment. Fortunately, we did a good cooperative work.
Last but not least, taking into account and carrying out so much aspects, advices and contents learning during these years was completely necessary for this project. So I am very grateful for have had this opportunity to work with children in our last year in the university.

First thing I have to say is that it is really a pity that we did not have the opportunity to see other groups’ activities. I have really enjoyed doing the activities we did in our group “Life in the desert”, and I also appreciate that some of our classmates are writing about what they did in their groups, because these are ideas that we can all share and they can be helpful for our future as primary teachers.
As I have also mentioned in my last post, I think this was a great opportunity for us to see how to deal with real children and also what kind of activities are good for them, taking into account that the activities should be catchy for them, but also challenging and useful to improve their knowledge.
I have to say as well that at the beginning I thought that with just one film we were not going to have enough materials or ideas for all the groups we made, but at the end I realized how much things we can extract and use with using just a film.
And just to end up with, thank you very much for sharing your activities with us!
