Due to Covid restrictions and uncertainty over whether the first exchange from Italy to Accrington would take place, it was decided between P Montesi, R Palloni and W Aitken that the students would participate in online lessons in the meantime between the two schools. These were facilitated by W Aitken at Accrington Academy and students took part in a number of lessons.
29th October - Original Meeting to discuss an Introduction to Virtual Learning through Google Classroom hosted by W Aitken
5th November 2020, Cultural Cooking Lesson hosted by Ms K Cavanagh and Mr W Aitken where the students all followed a recipe in English to create a cheesecake in their own homes. These were then shared virtually with the groups so that we could look at the difference between the UK and Italian ones. Also discussed were calories, timings to cook and nutritional value etc.
10th November, 2020, English Culture Lesson hosted by Miss E Airey and Mr W Aitken where students were taken through English Idioms and commonplace terms that can be difficult to understand. These were then discussed to find similar Italian phrases, such as "Eyes too big for your belly" becomes "Eyes too big for your mouth" in Italian.
12th November 2020, Mathematical Representations hosted by Mrs R Rive and Mr W Aitken. This lesson involved Fibonacci and links to Da Vinci mathematical theorems that were truly enjoyed by all.
