PUPILS+EXCHANGES

//Introduction:// During the second year of Comenius, there was a second visit to Norway in December 2010 and there, we decided to more actively involve the students. We would need to match them so that everyone had two correspondnts from the other two countries although there were many more participating in Spain, so some Spanish pupils would have the same correspondents.

First step of communication exchange- getting to know each other

Second step of communication exchange- food and nutrition

Third step of communication exchange - Endangered species - redlist

__** CONCLUSIONS: **__ 1.- After the first communication, they found out that teenagers are about the same everywhere although timetables are different in every country. 2.- Afthe second communication, we noticed that some teenagers go to school skipping breakfast, which is not something we recommend. Some of them never eat fruit but they usually eat vegetables. We had very few vegetarians and although they eat a lot of pasta, there was not an abuse. Therefore, as a whole, they showed healthy habits, being conscious about the problems of unhealthy food and the importance of nutrients for their physical and mental development. 3.- After the third communication, They learnt that the bearded vulture is an animal in danger of extinction in Spain (protected in Nature reserve of Sierra de Guara), that the bear, the wulf or the falcon are in danger in Norway and finally, some birds are protected in Austria, in the Nature Reserve of Neusiedlersee, Also the Hornotter is in danger there. //After reading the learning sequences prepared by every country, they guessed the species.// Austria: Pheasant, Green frog, wasp spider, green lizard and great bustard. Norway: Wood pecker, Oak, bluebells, Pheasant, lemming, beaver, bullfink and 'Gentian Varna' plant. Spain: Triton, Wild cat, Bearded vulture, Egyptian vulture and wild goat. The plants were the Mediterranean oak, 'the rockbreaker, an endemic plant which grows on the rocks and 'oreja de oso, which is in danger of extinction.
