Six schools, six countries working together in a common European School Exchange Project based on learning Art and improve our skills in English language through the study of our festivities and traditions as the starting point for the development of a coexistence in harmony.
This
year we are celebrating Easter at the end of March. Before we went home for the
holidays we could learn some interesting facts about this date by watching a
short video.
Afterwards
we decorated
Easter eggs and put them on the noticeboard at the main entrance.
This year some
important celebrations have coincided with the weekend and for this reason we had to work on them
before or after the date.
Valentine's Day was
during the carnival. We were working on it with presentations, worksheets and
some arts and crafts before the date.
And now it is St.
Patrick's Day, a very important event in Ireland and wherever Irish people
live.
We started by
remembering or learning about the origin of this celebration, and some
important legends and traditions around it, such as the leprechaun and his pot
of gold.
The students really
enjoyed participating in the different activities and arts and crafts.
The youngest ones made
shamrocks to decorate the board in the school hall. They listened to Irish
music and even danced a traditional dance.
The others watched a
video telling the story of St. Patrick. They learnt vocabulary and made crafts:
A door hanger, a
mini-book and a greeting card. They also carried out other activities related
to this event.
Our school now has a green air and a spring spirit!!
