Definition : An acrostic poem is a poem where certain letters in each line spell out a word or phrase.
Typically, the first letters of each line are used to spell the message, but they can appear anywhere.
After our last online meeting via etwinning, Corinne Hoffert had the idea to create this smart acrostic about the terrible pandemic that is ravaging our world.
We share it so that all of you can read it.
Here it is:
This is my garden in Bajamar. Well, to be honest, this is my husband’s garden in Bajamar. I have the pleasure to enjoy it and sometimes, not often, I must be sincere, to water it, to sweep the dried leaves, to cut the weeds though mostly what I do is just to see and enjoy the wonderful colours and smell of the flowers, bushes and pots he has been looking after during all this time. Gardening is a therapy. We are lucky having this space at home but it would not be the same without John’s caring and attention. The lockdown has offered him more time to do what he really enjoys…showing us what we have always known: he has green fingers.
LA JARDINERÍA…..¡QUE PLACER DURANTE EL CONFINAMIENTO!
Este es mi jardín en Bajamar. Bueno, para ser sincera, este es el jardín de mi marido en Bajamar. Yo tengo el placer de disfrutarlo y de vez en cuando, pero no a menudo (tengo que ser honesta) regarlo, barrer las hojas muertas, cortar las malas hierbas aunque lo que más hago es simplemente mirarlo y disfrutar de los colores y olores de las flores, de los arbustos y las macetas que mi marido ha estado cuidando durante todo este tiempo. La jardinería es una terapia. Somos afortunados teniendo este espacio en casa pero no sería lo mismo sin el cuidado y la atención que John le ha dado. El confinamiento le ha ofrecido más tiempo para hacer lo que realmente le gusta....mostrarnos que tiene un don especial para la jardinería.

Queridos socios,
Todos desde casa trabajando en la distancia y conectados con nuestro alumnado positivos y solidario con la familia y los amigos, pensando en nuestros seres queridos lejos de nosotros pero cerca gracias a la tecnología. ¡Nunca Whatsapp fue tan importante en nuestras vidas! Les envío una foto de mi mesa de trabajo....desordenada, con mi infusión y mi pantalla FUSION y por supuesto, mi trabajo por hacer. Un breve mensaje para compartir mis pensamientos y mi energía. Confío en que estén bien donde quiera que estén y tengan confianza en el esfuerzo que estamos haciendo para mejorar esta situación y cuando puedan....¡únanse a FUSION para vernos ahí!
Con cariño,
Malu
These are our favourite pictures from our mobility to Macedonia . The first in an open window on to a blue sky , which represents the spirit of our project FUSION , which is an open window on to others. The second is the French team in Ohrid , which we were so lucky to visit with an ideal weather and ideal conditions because everything was quiet and not overcrowded as it must be during the summer. It also reminds us that we left from France as simple colleagues and came back as friends!
Nos photos préférées suite à notre mobilité en Macédoine du nord , la première est une fenêtre ouverte sur un ciel bleu magnifique , qui représente bien l'esprit du projet Fusion qui est une fenêtre ouverte sur les autres . La deuxième c'est notre équipe française , avec le drapeau macédonien dans le fond , et le lac d'Ohrid . Cette photo nous rappelle que nous avons eu la chance de visiter cet endroit merveilleux sous le soleil et dans une ambiance calme et sereine , puisque nous n'étions pas en pleine saison touristique . Des conditions idéales! et que nous sommes partis en tant que collègues et sommes rentrés des amis !
The second mobility of the Erasmus+ Fusion Project to North Macedonia surprised us with a lovely and delicious lunch on our first day at school. Everything we could wish was on the table: vegetables, meat, sweets….An incredible FUSION of flavours! We thank to all the cooks who prepared all these tasty dishes. We also know Ljdija’s mum helped to this successful lunch! Great menu!
La segunda mobilidad del Erasmus+ Fusion en Macedonia del Norte nos sorprendió a todos con un estupendo y delicioso almuerzo en el instituto en el primer día de nuestra estancia. Todo lo que podíamos desear estaba sobre la mesa: verduras, carne, dulces...Una increíble FUSION de sabores” Gracias a todos los cocineros que prepararon estos platos tan sabrosos. Sabemos que también la madre de Ljdija, nuestra coordinadora macedonia, participó en este almuerzo tan exitoso. Un gran menu!
Hi to all who live under the same blue sky !
In our second mobility in North Macedonia, coming from several different countries and gathering around the same table in unity pleased us once again.
Holding hands and dancing altogether represents us- loving and caring each other when we are given the chance to get to know one another closely. North Macedonia call it "oro" , we call it "halay"
Being able to listen to similar music to ours also made us feel at home! For the video you can click this link and this one.
Thank you North Macedonia!
Aynı mavi gökyüzünün altında yaşayan herkese selam!
Kuzey Makedonya'daki ikinci toplantımızda , farklı ülkelerden gelen meslektaşlarımızla aynı masa etrafında toplanıp yemek yemek bizi bir kez daha mutlu etti.
Kuzey Makedonya'nın "oro" dediği, bizim "halay" dediğimiz dansı hep birlikte etmek aslında birbirimizi yakından tanıma fırsatı verildiğinde birbirimizi seven ve önemseyen bizleri temsil ediyor. Videoları görmek için bu bağlantıları tıklayabilirsiniz: click this link and this one.
Bizimkine benzer ezgileri tulum eşliğinde dinleyebilmiş olmak da evde hissettirdi. Kuzey Makedonya , çok teşekkürler !
On 17th February the Spanish Team in the Erasmus+ Fusion Project met their partners and their hosts in SUO Ljupco Santov again. Igor Hristov, the Principal of the high school, and Lidija Koceva, our Macedonian coordinator, welcomed all of us there. They received us with very kind words in a most agreeable atmosphere to start our stay in North Macedonia. We invite our partners to upload here photos of the welcome session to share them in our Fusion blog.

We have just updated our Erasmus + corner in the main entrance of our high school. North Macedonia, our 2nd mobility in the Fusion Project is there. You can see photos from our work sessions in the SOU Ljupco Santov in Kocani and good memories from our visits to Ohrid and Skopjie. On the corner you can also see the posters done by our Turkish partners: the Fusion poster and the 2020 Calendar and flyers our Macedonian partners prepared for the dissemination of the project. We have our map on which we are marking the routes we have done to visit the different destinations of the project mobilities.
Acabamos de actualizar nuestro Rincón Erasmus + en la entrada principal del instituto. Ya tenemos ahí Macedonia del Norte, nuestra segunda movilidad en el Proyecto Fusion. Puedes ver fotos de las sesiones de trabajo en el SOU Ljupco Santov en Kocani y buenos recuerdos de las visitas a Ohrid y Skopjie. En el panel puedes ver también los posters hechos por los socios turcos: el poster Fusion y el calendario de 2020 y los folletos que los socios macedonios prepararon para la diseminación del proyecto. Tenemos nuestro mapa donde estamos marcando las rutas que hemos hecho para visitar los diferentes destinos de las movilidades del proyecto.
Our second mobility in the Erasmus + Fusion Project has just ended. All partners met in Kocani, North Macedonia, hosted by Lidija Koceva and her team. From 16th to 22nd February we have been working on new apps and digital programes to improve our teaching strategies; we have shared a lot of information about the different education systems of all our partners and, of course, we have enjoyed the reunion of old friends met in our first mobility in Ankara, Turkey and the new ones coming to NM. We thank North Macedonian team for their hospitality and great job done during our visit and congratulate Lidija Koceva, our Macedonian coordinator, for her excellent organization.
Nuestra segunda movilidad en el Proyecto Erasmus + Fusion acaba de finalizar. Todos los socios nos encontramos en Kocani, Macedonia del Norte, con nuestro anfitrión el equipo macedonio dirigido por Lidija Koceva. Del 16 al 22 de febrero hemos trabajado con nuevas aplicaciones y programas digitales para mejorar nuestras estrategias de enseñanza; hemos compartido información sobre los diferentes sistemas educativos de todos nuestros socios y por supuesto, hemos disfrutado del encuentro con viejos amigos conocidos en nuestra primera movilidad en Ankara, Turquia y los nuevos venidos a NM. Agradecemos al equipo macedonio su hospitalidad y el estupendo trabajo que llevaron a cabo durante nuestra visita y felicitamos a Lidija Koceva, la coordinadora macedonia, por su excelente organización.
These are good memories from the last days we spent in Turkey. Hacer, Ayden and Paco having tea and cake in the Grand Bazaar. Malu is there too….taking the photo! We really had a lovely time full of friendship and good moments! We are looking forward to meeting you in North Macedonia again.
Estos sonbuenos recuerdos de los últimos días que pasamos en Turquía. Hacer, Ayden y Paco tomando tea y pastel en el Gran Bazar. ¡Malu está también....sacando la foto! Disfrutamos estupendamente de la amistad y los buenos ratos compartidos. Esperamos con muchas ganas verles de nuevo en Macedonia del Norte.
The map on the wall was drawn and signed by Turkish cartographer Hagji Ahmed Muhiddin Piri , aka Piri Reis, and is dated to 1513 AD. Reis was an admiral in the Turkish navy, an experienced sailor, and a cartographer. The Piri Reis map is in the Library of the Topkapı Palace in Istanbul, Turkey, but is not usually on display to the public.
On the photo we are planning our road map,we are arranging timeline,project plans. We think it is a nice coincidence.
We visited Istanbul at the end of our stay during the Erasmus + Fusion Project thanks to the organization done by Hacer and Ayden, our Turkish partners. The Bosphorus (meaning from the Greek ‘bus’ oxen and ‘fóros’ alley) is also known as the Strait of Istanbul. We invite you to be curious and learn about the etimology of this name. We enjoyed the feeling of being in the middle of two continents Asia and Europe. This strait connects the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara and, by extension via the Dardanelles, the Aegean and Mediterranean seas. We could sea the magnificent buildings: palaces, mosques and the Galata Tower during our boat tour. Very impressive!
Visitamos Estambul al final de nuestro viaje a Turquía durante el Proyecto Erasmus Fusion gracias a la gestión de Hacer y Ayden, nuestras social turcas. El Bósforo (que significa en griego ‘bus’ buey y ‘foros’ pasaje) se conoce también como el Estrecho de Estambul. Les invitamos a ser curiosos y aprender sobre la etimología de este nombre. Nosotros disfrutamos la sensación de estar en medio de dos continentes Asia y Europa. Este estrecho conecta el Mar Negro y el Mar de Mármara y por extensión a través de las Dardanelas, el Mar Egeo y el Mediterráneo. Pudimos ver magníficos edificios: palacios, mezquitas y la Torre Gálata durante nuestro paseo en barco. ¡Impresionante!

STAMP SEAL/BAKED CLAY (ANADOLU MEDENIYETLERY MÜZESI IN ANKARA)
Out of the different objects we could see in this incredible museum I loved this clay seal because it reminds me of the Canarian native people or “guanches” who used something very similar called “pintaderas” to identify the silo (grain storage) where they kept their harvest. So far so close…we share so many things but we are not conscious about it. A place as amazing as this museum and its content made me think about it.
(Malu)
De entre los muchos objetos que pudimos ver en este increíble museo me encantó este sello de barro porque me recuerda a los guanches que usaban algo parecido llamado pintaderas para identificar el silo donde guardaban las cosechas. Tan lejos tan cerca....compartimos muchas cosas pero no somos conscientes de ello. Un lugar tan sorprendente como este museo y su contenido me hicieron pensar en este tema.
On 28th of January a group of students of 2nd general lyceum of Ierapetra, visited the University of Crete and specifically the department of Computer Science & Engineering . The students informed about the results of various new researches of the University and the Artificial Intelligence. Furthermore, they took part in an operation of a sheep through VR glasses, and show how clever houses will be in the future. Finally, they played interactive games.

Our Storyjumper book "People in sports in The Canary Islands" is finished. We want to share it with all the members of the FUSION Project. Just open and read it in this link
Ankara Opera is the largest of the three opera and ballet venues in Ankara. The building dates from 1933. It was later converted into an opera house and started serving this purpose on April 2, 1948. We visited the place to see Harem, a Turkish ballet which blends classical ballet with Ottoman music. It has become the longest-running ballet show in Turkey, being performed for 20 years now.
La Ópera de Ankara es la mayor de los tres centros de ópera y ballet de la ciudad. El edificio data de 1933. Posteriormente convertido en Teatro de la Ópera se estrenó con este propósito el 2 de abril de 1948. Visitamos el lugar para ver Harem, el ballet turco que fusiona ballet clásico con música otomana. Se ha convertido en el ballet que mayor tiempo lleva en el escenario en Turquía, actualmente 20 años sin interrupción.
