A NICE AND SWEET GIFT FROM POLAND!

 Hi everyone,

Today we are writing this post to thank our friends from Poland the great Easter box they sent us.

                                                                It was full of...

Fantastic Easter cards and really tasty Polish sweets and candies!!!!!

We had received it some days before the videoconference (May 10th) but we decided not to tell students so they could open it during the videocall (that was our friends' desire) 😜

It was a big surprise for them!😲

Big pleasure to share this experience with our mates in Poland. 

Thanks guys!

Btw, sweets are yummy!

MARCH EVENTS IN POLAND

Dear readers,

Today we are uploading a link to what our mates in Nowy Dwór Gdański have been doing lately at school. It's really interesting to read about our different celebrations and cultures, although there are some common events.

Hope you enjoy it!

March Events in Poland 

VIDEOCONFERENCE MARCH 22

 

Hi again dear readers!

 

Last March 22 we could take part in the so long-awaited videocall with our counterparts from Poland.👏💻📡

It was really nice to see each other after so much time working together.  

During the 40 minutes we were connected, students were sharing some personal info such as: age, hobbies and favourite subjects at school. We also talked a little bit about Poland and Spain (culture, geography, music or population).

Congrats to everybody participating in it!!!         🔝🆒 

 

Here are some pics and the link to the Kahoot activity we prepared for this day.

 

How much do you know about us?

 

THIS IS MY SCHOOL: CARNIVAL WEEK

Hi everybody!

Today we would like to write about our Carnival time celebrations. 

Two weeks ago it was time to celebrate Carnival. Galician Carnival has its own traditions and disguises, with deep roots in our popular culture. All around our town there are many different places where Carnival is celebrated with particular characters and performances. 

Laza

Sande

Xinzo 

It is a traditional Carnival kept by people for centuries which coexists with the disguising carnival party, especially celebrated by the young people.

Carnival disguises show colour, fun and imagination, having each year some trendy topics. 

We haven’t missed a chance to celebrate Carnival at school, first we got lot of fun all over the week, by wearing each day, from Monday to Thursday, a different disguise garment: a headdress, a pair of glasses, some colour socks and an apron.
Fortunately, after a 2021 without Carnival due to pandemic, this year we performed Carnival again along the town's streets. Students and teachers all together went to a parade on Friday 25^th sharing different characters and disguises determined by the school level.

Finally, we still had free days, till Wednesday 2^nd March, to enjoy Carnival with friends.

THIS IS MY SCHOOL: SCHOOL DAY FOR PEACE

 

On last 30^th January we commemorated the School Day of Non-violence and Peace.

We took part for peace with different activities like drawing portraits of the main non -violence icons of the  world´s recent history such as:

• Mahatma Gandhi

• Martin Luther King

• Malala Yousafzai

We are convinced that a sustainable development can't be

 achieved without a culture of peace.

Even on these days, with states where there is no way to peace 😢

PEACE IS THE ONLY WAY

PEACE QUOTES

A CULTURAL CHALLENGE FROM POLAND

Hi readers,

Our friends from Poland have challenged us to find out about the most important Polish poet: 

Adam Mickiewicz.

They want us to be familiar with this literary big name. Are you ready?

This is the link to the activities. 

Adam Mickiewicz

Let's go!! 👏😊

A CULTURAL CHALLENGE FROM GALICIA

 

Hi everyone,

We propose a research about the most outstanding modern female writer in the Galician

 language: ROSALÍA DE CASTRO

-Who was this woman?

- What literary movement did she belong to? Can we find something similar in your literary

 tradition of that period?

- Why was she so important for Galician language and culture?

- When do we commemorate her?

To complete the challenge, could you unscramble these verses she

wrote? They are from one of her most famous poems.

When you get it, what about reading them aloud and record it?

Good luck!!!  🍀🍀
