TRANSLATION OF THE NEWS:

PRESCHOOL CHILDREN SURPRISE  TV-WATCHERS AS THEY WORK IN NEWS! THEY HAVE FOLLOWED REAL NEWS ANCHORS, MAIJA AND KEKE.

“GOOD AFTERNOON FROM KENTTIS NEWS…GOOD AFTERNOON!” THE FIRST SPEAKER IS JOSEFINA. SHE LOOKS STRAIGHT TO CAMERA BY TELLING: “HYVINKÄÄ WILL TURN 100 YEARS THIS YEAR”.

HERE YOU SEE HOW NEWS FROM “KENTTIS” IS GOING. THERE IS A REPORTER-PART, WHERE CHILDREN ASK FROM EACH OTHERS ABOUT THEIR FAVOURITE PLACES AND HOBBIES. ANYONE OF THE GROUP HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE A REPORTER. KINDERGARDENTEACHER SUSANNA VELAMA IS IN CHARGE OF FILMING.

“WE HAVE AN EU ERASMUS+-PROJECT, WHERE WE FOCUS ON MEDIA EDUCATION. WE HAVE FOLLOWED NEWS AND CHILDREN HAVE NOTICED THAT YOU NEED TO SIT CALM AND SPEAK CLEARLY ON TV. I’M VERY HAPPY TO NOTICE THAT ALSO SHY CHILDREN WOULD LIKE TO BE A REPORTERS”, SAYS SUSANNA VELAMA.  

THERE IS ALSO A GUEST IN STUDIO AND THIS TIME IT IS MR MIKA TOMMOLA FROM NATIONAL MTV-NEWS. JOSEFINA AND LARI HAVE A STRICT QUESTION: “DO YOU FEEL EXCITED WHEN YOU WORK ON TV?”

“YES, IT’S ALWAYS A BIT EXCITING, BUT IT ALSO KEEPS YOU SHARP!”, ANSWERS MIKA TOMMOLA. THEN MIKA ASKS FROM JOSEFINA: “DO YOU FEEL EXCITED NOW?”  “NO!”, SAYS  JOSEFINA.

THEN ABOUT WEATHER: JOSEFINA AND LARI LOOK OUT OF THE WINDOW AND TELL WHAT THEY SEE. THAT’S IT. THEN IT’S TIME FOR A NICE ENDING OF THE NEWS; THE WHOLE PRESCHOOL GROUP SING AND IN THE END OF THE NEWS BOTH NEWS ANCHORS  CLAP THEIR PAPERS ON THE TABLE, JUST LIKE IN REAL NEWS ON TV.

COMPUTER LESSON IN PRIMARY SCHOOL

In January, our children visited elementary school in order to integration and presentation media literacy among young children.

Our children were excited about visiting school, because next year they are entering the 1st grade.

In cooperation with IT teacher we have planned to connect children different ages and also present our project Fair@Kit to students from primary school.

Students from 9th grade accept us and every student take one child and take a responsibility for him.

First, they took us around the school and we have stopped in 1st grade, where we attended a short part of their program.

Then we went to computer class, where we introduced ourselves to each other. I presented what we do in our Fair@Kit project and why we came to school on computer lesson.

Children in pairs (student and toddler) sat to each available computer. Older children guided younger ones with the operations on the computer and learn them how to use mouse.

Children were dealing with a range of mathematical functions and learning meaningful use of computer.

Children really enjoyed at working on computer, so we extended the period of activity. At the end, we have invited them to visit the nursery. We also presented the activities undertaken as part of media education (playing variety of non-violence scenes with puppets, e-mailing with friends from another unit, rules of good behavior…)

It was interesting to observe how students seriously and responsible took care for our little ones, how they sipped knowledge through media to acquire new skills and knowledge.

The children were excited about visit school and their impressions were lasting for a few days.

Walburgisschule took part in a German-wide IT-competition

Our forth grades took part in a national computer science competition which was offered for primary schools for the first time. The "Primary-school-beaver" shows that IT-science and the related digital thinking is already accessible for younger children. For our school it is particularly important to take part in this contest as it underlines the reasonable use of the computer as a medium. Our colleagues Ursula Schnittger and Ruth Schulte-Düser worked with their classes on this project and the children have been very enthusiastic according to the topic.
