You have all heard of Disneyland, haven't you? I guess most of you want to go there and have a blast. Am I right? Don't tell me - I know I am!

Well, the 5th class students didn't go there but they learnt about it and imagined how things look like there. They were very imaginative while dreaming of roller coasters, merry-go-rounds, haunted houses, pirate ships, fairytale castles and many more fantasy-like places and characters within Disneyland. After learning about Disneyland, they had to face a rather challenging assignment. They had to make their own pirate ship, fairytale castle or haunted house. They draw pieces of paper and they had to make whatever was written on it. And it was really exciting seeing boys reading what they got...and that something was a fairytale castle! I could've imagined them covered with glitter and all sorts of shiny things. Just try to imagine it - drawing a piece of paper, wishing for a haunted house or a pirate ship...and getting a fairytale castle! They were shocked at first but then they realized they have no other option but to make that shiny thing.

They had two weeks to design and make their Disneyland creations. And they did it! Each of them had to present his or her project by saying what it was, which material was used, which equipment and techniques and what was inside (some interiors were visible while others weren't so they had to use their imagination to describe the interior). 

The whole project was a win-win situation really. They had to use their English to present it so it was a great practice and they had to use a lot of their imagination and creativity to achieve the final goal - the Disneyland dream coming true. On the other hand, I as a teacher had a chance to enjoy in their creativity and their English. A win-win situation - wouldn't you agree?

In the end, we exhibited all their wonderful pieces of art at the school corridors so that everyone who visits the school can see them and admire them. They are really proud of their work and I am really proud of them.

Having students like them makes me love my job even more and gives meaning to everything I do.
