We (mgr Sylwia Leśniacka, mgr Zuzana Šlepecká and mgr Dominika Giezek) think what is the best way to active children. We want to put together their interests and their need to learn something. Join the pleasure with useful. That way was born the idea – cars. Through their interests in cars, lead children to be safety on the roads and contribute to their protection (traffic education).

Children will create presentation using the Power Point programme = every child will have one slide. We will send the presentation via e-mail and this way we get to know our partners better.
History cars: Children from Slovakia – they will visit the muzeum of the old – veterans. Children from Poland – they will search old cars on line.

Cars in the future: One class for the other will prepare drawings with future cars.

Traffic education: Children from Slovakia – they will learn traffic rules, traffic symbols – signs and rules on the interactive board. Children from Poland - they will learn traffic rules in the car school.
Final competition - Both schools will create a quiz where they will test each other knowledge about basic traffic rules, symbols, but also knowledge about cars, which they learned about during the project.
