The pupils of the primary school in
Montorio R. and Nerola celebrated the Disability Day during the first week of
December.
The children in Montorio played relay
race, games with cones and hoops and took part in coding activities. The
teachers of our institute planned coding activites linked to positive emotions.
The students of the primary school in
Nerola celebrated this event through several steps:
1.watching the story ‘Piccolo Blu e
piccolo Giallo’ (little Blue and little
Yellow), a classic tale of friendship inspired to Leo Lionni's book. Little
Blue and Little Yellow are best friends. They go to school and play everyday,
but one day the cant’ find each other. When they finally do, they give each
other such a big hug that they turn green! Their parents can’t recognize them
and reject them. Not wanted in their one homes little Blue and little Yellow meet
again and cry. Their tears change little Blue and little Yellow back to their
original colors. Little Blue speeds off to explain everything to his parents
who are so overjoyed that they go running across the street to tell little Yellow's
parents. Then their parents end up hugging until they themselves turn green.
2. Playing treasure hunt- the students
of the fourth grade had to solve riddles. If they answered correctly, the
children of the third grade got the alphanumeric code they needed to complete
the coding game, a big smiling face, the symbol of a happy SEN student included
in his/her class.
3. playing a variant of relay race.
Each student of every team had to pass a sponge ball backwards with both hands
to the classmate who was behind him/her as quickly as possible and then he/she had
to reach the last position of the queue. The winner was the team whose members
went back to the original position after running.
4. Listening to the story “Il futuro
dei miei” (The future of my people), a book written by Alessandro
Ghebreigziabiher that talks about a boy
and his uncle, two refugees who leave their own country to come to Italy seeking
their fortune (peace, justice, food…), hoping to be integrated into the Italian society.
5. Debating about the video and the
short story read by the teacher.
The fil rouge of all these
activities was inclusion, integration, acceptance of diversity through games, movement,
fun and positive emotions.
