The giving tree

27th Kindergarten of Kalamaria

Open in-person activity

English

Adramytiou 2, 551 32, Kalamaria, GRC

The activity aims to bring coding and digital literacy to the students in a fun and engaging way.

Short description:

The children will work in teams and create a tree image using pixel art. They will design a tree on a grid as they imagine it and then write the code. They will give the code to their classmates, who will then, based on the code, find the hidden image. In other words, we will be working with both processes: coding and decoding. For anyone interested, the ZaplyCode application can be used

Activity Objectives for students:

• to engage with coding and computational thinking         • to  understand what a pixel is
• to learn about a form of image encoding in digital  media
• to be able to create an image from a given code and     vice versa
• to collaborate and exchange ideas

Learning outcomes: Students will develop digital literacy skills, soft skills and behaviours that facilitate collaboration, teamwork and computational thinking in a fun way.

Acts to protect the forest!!
Fri, Mar 7, 2025 8:08 PM

Preschool children will participate in a collaborative Bee-Bot activity between two schools, focusing on forest protection actions. This initiative aims to develop algorithmic thinking and programming skills while raising environmental awareness. Using Bee-Bots, digital tools, and creative expression, students will explore key conservation actions such as reforestation, fire prevention, recycling, and wildlife protection.

The activity unfolds in two stages:

· 1st Partner School: Students illustrate a chosen conservation action and upload their artwork to a collaborative Canva presentation.

· 2nd Partner School: Students receive the image, write an English message related to the action, and add it to Canva. They then record an audio message using Blabberize, embedding it into a QR code placed next to the image.

Finally, all contributions will be gathered into a Canva presentation, forming a collaborative interactive game. Through scanning QR codes, students will explore conservation actions while engaging with visual and audio content.

This hands-on activity promotes computational thinking, digital literacy, creativity, and teamwork while fostering an appreciation for forest protection.

 

The activities will be published in a collaborative padlet, the link of which will be shared with the group members.
