Benji
celebrated Easter in a German family in the Eifel.
It is a nice area with forest and valley. He has seen a lot. Look at the nice
pictures. He has seen an Easter fire. Outside the cities- by the farmers- people
collect wood and make in the Easter night big fires.
Theodore and Frida went for a day trip to the Seven Stories Children's
Centre in Newcastle. They went on a coach and drove past the famous
sculpture "The Angel of the North" by Anthony Gormley. At the
centre, they listened to stories and enjoyed some craft work, based on
stories by Julia Donaldson who wrote The Gruffalo.
Here are just a few photographs of some of the spring flowers
that have appeared round Bowburn. You can also a couple of pictures of Theodore and Frida
helping with an assembly! ENJOY!
Benji was very happy. He has celebrated his first
Karneval in our school.
He sang songs, he has danced alot with
the childrens and . He has eaten a lot sweets.
Now he is a little bit tired
and his stomage hurts a little!
Greetings
from the artic Priekuli. Today we recieved -21Celsius. But don't worry
about us we are safe in warm rooms. After two or more days it will be
till -30. Let's see. Ski tracks are open in Cesis and Priekuli. Please,
you are welcome to join us! We played in the snow with LABAN! HE enjoyed it very much!
In
Belgium it has been snowing as well the past week! It was really really
cold! Up untill now we hadn't had any winter weather yet, so we are
not quite used to it yet! Here we had -10, the coldest was - 13°Celsius.
A few days ago it was -8°C but it felt like -20°C because of a strong
wind! So we know how it must be in Latvia every day! Today we played
outside with Rudi's Cat! He enjoyed it a lot! He was a little cold so
we gave him a woolen hat! He liked it very much! Have a look at the pictures taken in Latvia (with Laban) and Belgium (with Rudi)! lots of love
We made a dictionary! We have translated the most common words and expressions in 4 languages! So for those who want to learn a foreign language: START STUDYING! HAVE FUN!!
Hi everyone, After a very busy week celebrating Chinese New Year, the Year of the Dragon, I thought you may like a few photos of Theodore and Frida joining in! Theodore helped lead the Dragon Dance round school! Weather here has been really odd again! Waking up to severe frosts and temperature around -2 then as the day goes on, the sun has shone and temperatures have reached 8-10......most peculiar! The trees are budding far too early.
I received a picture of the postboxes of England and Latvia! So here they are! As you can see they are all different. The only thing that is similar is the color...two of them are yellow, two of them are red! greetings!
a few weeks ago the children of Juf Lieve's class (Belgium) went to the library. They went by bus and took Rudy's cat with them! The children in England payed a visit to the library as well. Here you can see the pictures of these two visits! And look, as you can see Theodor went along with the english children! The first pictures you see with Theodor were taken in England, the four last pictures were taken in Belgium. ENJOY!
at christmas we all send postcards to each other. In Belgium we went to the post office with a few kids. They put the stamps on the envelopes and then they posted the cards! Our friend from Germany also send us a picture of their mailbox! As you all can see in Belgium they are red and in Germany they are yellow! I wonder what colour they are in Latvia and England!
We went skating with our friend Rudi's cat from Latvia.It was the first time for the children . In the beginning they need a
walking rack, but after half an hour most of them could skate alone. Our parents
helped a lot and enjoyed it also. Rudi loved being on the ice!

This article was send to us by our German partners. Also in Germany our comeniusproject was in the newspaper. The article is in German. I don't have a translation.
The following article appeared in our local newspaper. I tried to translate it as good as possible. I hope you understand!
"At the Kindergarten "Pa LEI s" in Diepenbeek the childeren and teachers are getting acquainted with education in other European countries. For two years they have made a commitment with schools in England, Germany and Latvia. For the children this means that their mascot visits these countries and that he brings back pictures, activities and knowledge of these countries. The children make sure that whenever a mascot of an other country visits us he/she can take a lot of information about us with him/her. Our teachers visit the other schools and get to know their educational system. The didactic approach and methodical practice are a rich source of information of which our school benifits. from the 30th november till the 2nd of december two teachers from Latvia visited us. They had a chance to get to know "Sinterklaas" when he visited our children!
