Digital Literacy in the Primary classroom

On February 25, some people from the UNHCR made a presentation to us. They told us various things about their job, which is to help refugees. Then they showed us some videos from a site. The videos showed what happened when the refugees left their homes. Then all the children asked questions and at the end of the presentation they gave us a bag with different presents. As a final task we were given a piece of paper with an empty suitcase on it to draw something we would take with us if we were refugees and had to leave our homes.           

 

  On February 1 st , four volunteer firefighters visited our school as part of the "Volunteering" program.They first explained to us what the word volunteering means and told us what it is like to be a volunteer. They showed us the clothes they have to wear as well as their equipment. Specifically, they presented us the defibrillator, a device that is used if someone has fainted and a drone that they use to see things and areas from above.All firefighters communicate with each other by radio to prevent fires or in any other emergencies. They also showed us their base on the map and explained that they spend a lot of their free time in the base helping their fellow human beings not only in case of fire but also in flood and other emergencies. In the end, we saw   the fire truck,   the radio, the hose and the water tank.It was a very nice presentation - visit and we were all very excited by the experience.
