Meeting and christmas coming closer!






Hello dear Comenius friends! Our meeting in Vienna, Klosterneuburg and Himberg is coming closer and we are already quite excited. The town is preparing for christmas time and so are we. The video and photos show you pupils from different classes working in our kitchen. They are baking different christmas biscuits and they liked it very much. Most of them are doing the same at home with their parents, especially with their mums. Some of the pupils told me that they do these special christmas cookies with their grandmas.It was not really easy to keep the pupils from eating all the biscuits.Normally these biscuits need a rest of at least two or three weeks. Then they taste best. Greetings from Austria, Klosterneuburg Susan

Winetasting in Burgenland of the HS Himberg


In October we went to Illmitz in Burgenland, the easternmost province of Austria, to see how wine is produced, processed and of course – how wine is tasted!
We formed two groups.
Class 2a had a look at the „Hotel Nationalpark“. Then the class took a „children´s degustation“ (grape juice and pear/apple juice).
A "Wow" to what everything wine can be! - everything from colour, to smell and taste.
Class 3c was visiting the Nekowitsch family who make fantastic wine. Vineyards were visited, the factory was viewed, and we saw big silos and the different winelabels.
Despite the bad weather that day, we learnt a lot about wine.
Yours Dani and Andrea
P.S. We are looking forward to see you in Vienna :)

Hello to everybody! We hope you had a nice beginning of the schoolyear! Last weekend there was a great grape harvest festival in Klosterneuburg. We took part in the parade with a group of pupils, parents and teachers. Our theme was "We are Europe" and we used flags and shirts of all countries in our Comenius project. We hope you like the photos, use the following link: http://fotos10.mslangstoeger.at/weinlese/index.html

Hello everybody!
Our 8th A and 8th C students (14 year-olds) decided to show you a bit of our traditional folk songs.
This is a part of the "Getting to know each other" project inside our COMENIUS, that they have built up.
They coworked with their teachers on this: The PE teacher rehearsed the folk dances (Rita Carneiro), the Arts and Technology teachers helped with the costumes making (Ana Moreira and Teresa Moreira) and the class directors organized the groups (Inês Lopes and Eugénia Costa).
The final product is really very beautiful and very, very good.
All the teachers are very proud of you, dear students! Congratulations to all !
When you work in a team everything is easier and much more rewarding!
Take a look and enjoy!
Manuela Galante

This dance comes from MADEIRA ( one of the Portuguese Islands in the Atlantic Ocean ) and as most of the folk dances, it represents part of the farming habits of each region. If you search the web for "Bailinho da Madeira" you will find out more about it and our beautiful archipelago - MADEIRA and PORTO SANTO.

I will post 8th A film in another message!

Sorry, but I won´t be able to do that - the video clip is too heavy - I will send it to each partner by mail as soon as possible, ok? Sorry kids!

These dances are very common in the North of Portugal (MINHO) and each costume represents someone with a different role in the farming community. In the past, people would dance "Malhão" during harvest time. These folk dances are still very popular in all kinds of shows and local festivities, especially in the summer. Portugal has got a very strong tradition in Associativism and these folk groups are scattered all over Portugal (We even had one at our school composed by teachers and janitors. It was really fun!).

A POSTCARD FROM PORTUGAL

Hello Dear Friends,
Still in our memories the good times we spent at Cesme.
What a fine group we are!
Ertugrul, you have been quite a host! Thanks again!


As you remember, due to technical difficulties in Turkey, it was not possible to open the video that was done by Graça and her 5th and 6th grade students - "A postcard from Portugal".
Graça decided to ask her son to help her posting it in our blog. In no time it will be posted, for sure!
And remember - Portugal is waiting for your visit! Such a small country but with so much diversity!

Take care,
Manuela Galante

Year 7 Showcase

Hello all,

Before I say anything else, I must offer thanks on behalf of all of our English group to Ertugrul and his colleagues and students for the wonderful hospitality we received during our stay in Turkey, we will never forget our visit.

Part of the work in our school for Comenius is being done by our youngest students in year 7 (11-12 years old). They have been enthusiastically working for several weeks to prepare for a showcase/exhibition on the various Comenius partner countries. Here are some photos of their stands, which included information on the tourism, food, history and traditions of the different countries.

Best wishes,
Jo
