Throughout this school year students from Year 3, 4 and 6 are going to carry out the project: FrankensTwinning Planet with other schools in Turkey and Slovakia.
This project is framed in the learning situation: Is it possible to create the perfect planet? Based on the shortcomings of our planet Earth, the pupils of the participating schools will create a new planet by combining their different visions, ideas and designs. Hence, the name of the planet: FrankensTwinning.
The starting point was to introduce and present the project to our students through a motivational and explanatory video.

FrankensTwinning Scientists (students) introduce themselves
We all know the importance of knowing and being aware of how to keep ourselves safe when working online or using applications. Therefore, in the European projects in which we participate with our students, we always work on such important aspects and concepts as online safety and netiquette.
Taking into account these aspects, our Year 3, 4, and 6 students have undertaken a stellar mission: to collaboratively design and bring to life FrankensTwinning Planet. Working with partner schools in Turkey and Slovakia, they've:
- Designed the planet's surface and geography using boundless creativity.
- Created unique inhabitants with their own languages and traditions.
- Designed sustainable cities.
- Composed a planetary anthem expressing their cosmic vision.
- Developed an interstellar marketing campaign to promote their world.
- Hosted a virtual exhibition showcasing their eco-conscious creations.
Every activity - from logo design to crafting planetary customs - has encouraged teamwork, imagination and environmental awareness across borders.
This collaboration has also nurtured genuine friendships across Europe with the exchange of Christmas greeting cards with their European peers, sharing ideas through our TwinSpace forum and, finally, getting in touch via live online meetings.
