Did you see our Twinkle star?

We are really worried. Our twinkle just disappeared...
We looked everywhere but we could not find her...
Where can she be? Did you see her?
Today, when we arrived at school she was not at the "resting corner" were she use to be, neither at the library, because as she likes stories very much, we thought that may be she went there. She was acting strangely last Friday, because she didn´t play all day and in the evening she didn´t want to go to nobody´s home. And today the window was open, lot´s of sparkling was on the floor and by the window, and she was not at school.
Please if someone find a smiling small yellow star please contact us. We are afraid that she may be lost...

"Fly above the world so high"

Our Star has a real long tail. She change a colour too. She started to shining more. We are starting holidays and we didn't want to let her alone at our class. We decided that she is ready to come back to her home. So we took our Star, many baloons and we went for a big mountain. Everyone kissed it and hugged it. We sang to the Twinkle and let it go. She fly really high and we were standing and looking for her at the heaven for a long time. We are wondering where is she now. We hope that she will send to us some postcard someday....

A New European Flag ;)

International Kid's Day

">

Our Kid's Day was very sweet. We learn maths during making deserts with chocolate, gummy bears, sweets , wafels etc.

We were dancing and painting our faces.

But the best for us was a suprice which our parents with teachers made for us.

26 (!) parents from our group were training, learning, making costumes for whole month and they made for us a story about „Peter Pan and Captain Hook”. It was really wonderfull ! They were amasing and they made it really like real actors. Thank You for Your hearts, for Your time, Your sense of humor and beautifull memories. Since that time every day children wants to play in Peter Pan and pirates and they are singing songs from this story .

PL/

Nasz Dzień Dziecka był bardzo słodki. Uczyliśmy się matematyki w czasie robienia deserów z czekolady, żelków, cukierków, wafli itp.

Tańczyliśmy i malowaliśmy nasze twarze.

Najwiekszą atrakcją była dla nas niespodzianka, którą przygotowali dla nas Rodzice z nauczycielkami.

26 (!) Rodziców z naszej grupy przez cały miesiąc szykowało kostiumy, uczyli sięswoich ról i przychodzili na próby. Przygotowali dla nas przedstawienie o Piotrusiu Panie i Kapitanie Haku.

To było naprawdę fantastyczne. Byli niesamowici i przygotowali bajkę jak zawodowi aktorzy.

Dzięujemy za Wasze serca, Wasz czas, Wasze poczucie humoru i piękne wspomnienia.

Od czasu przedstawienia dzieci codziennie chcą się bawić w Piotrusia Pana i piratów i ciągle śpiewają piosenki z tej bajki.

About our trip

Today we would like to tell you a story about one of the first polish book for kids printed with pictures.It was written by Kornel Makuszyński in 1933.This book is about somersault . He's name Matołek. In polish „matołek” means someone who is not very smart. Matołek heard that somewhere is a town when you can shoe a goats.This town names Pacanów. He was looking this town for all over the world and he had many adventures.

We guess that in Poland everyone knows a book „120 adventures of Somersault Matołek”. It' all written with rhymes.

In 1967 made a fairy tale in tv about Matołek. As an old films this fairy tales does not have any dialogs only music.You can watch it here:

This town is an European Capitol Of Fairy Tales . You can meet there Somersault Matołek but not only. We went to the European museum of fairy tales. We met there a Little Red Riding Hood . She was our guide. First we had to put some special gnoms shoes. After that we went to a hole in a wall. And a Little Red Riding Hood gave us some magic cakes. When we ate it we became getting smaller and smaller and...

One day when we came to the class we saw that our Twinkle has a colourfull tale.
It is not so long but we are happy that it rising :)
We measured a tale with our bricks and we know that it has the same lenght as one orange brick. It is the same as 2 yellow bricks and the same as 10 white bricks and...
Just look yourself how we built a tale with colour mathematic bricks:

Pewnego dnia gdy weszliśmy do sali zobaczyliśmy ,że nasz gwiazda ma kolorowy ogon. Nie jest długi ale cieszymy się,że rośnie. Zmierzyliśmy ogon naszymi klockami i wiemy ,że ma on długość jednego pomarańczowego klocka. To tyle samo długości co 2 żółte klocki i tyle samo co długość10 białych klocków i... zobaczcie sami jak budowaliśmy ogon gwiazdy z klocków matematycznych.

Thank You for a very interesting story.

Snowman for You :))

Snow

At the same time when you are picking up flowers in Portugal we have about 20 cm of snow in Poland. It's so cold (even 25 centigrades under the 0) that we do not go for a walk outside. But our teacher made a suprise for us. She brought a snow to the class :

When it's really cold and when you walk you can hear how snow is squeaking under your shoes.
Do you want to hear it? Guess on which audio (1 or 2) boy is walking slowly and on which one (1 or 2) boy is running.

PL:
W tym samym czasie gdy w Portugalii dzieci zrywają kwiaty w Polsce jest 20 centymetrów śniegu . Jest tak zimno (nawet 25 poniżej 0) , że nie możemy wychodzićna spacery. Ale nasza pani zrobiła nam niespodziankę. Przyniosła śnieg do sali:

Film drugi i trzeci to nagrane odgłosy skrzypiącego śniegu. Dzieci mają odgadnąć po dźwięku na którym filmie chłopiec idzie powoli a na którym biegnie.

As soon as the rain stopped...

It almost seemed the story of "Three bears" ...
For two weeks it rained incessantly.
Sebastião only made roguery, Maria scolded with her friends, Margarida and Guilherme were crying for everything and anything, André chattered incessantly, Diogo was hidding under the table and Mauro laied down on the floor, with their legs up. .. we were all really bored ... And the rain never stop ...
Until today ...
This morning the rain stopped and the sun peeked a little, still very weak, through the clouds. What joy!
We put on our coats and we decided to walk to our secret garden.
Do you want to know how was it?

It was a beatiful walk.
We miss spring so much!...

Tradition

Many years ago in polish villages there was a tradition that during christmas time young people were going from home to home with christmas wishes. They were always disguised. Someone was an angel someone was disguised as a devil. There was someone as a king and someone as a shepard. Rest of them had traditional polish folk clothes. They were going with a star and with Turoń (somekind of animal). They were singing carols, showing some scenes about Christ birthday.
We would like to remember that tradition so we invited our Families and presented them our play. After that one of our fathers read a part of a Holy Bible , we were sharing a christmas wafer and eating a traditional christmas food. We felt like a one big family.

PL: Wiele lat temu na polskich wsiach była tradycja ,że w okresie świątecznym młodzi ludzie chodzili od domu do domu z życzeniami. Zawsze byli przebrani. Był anioł, diabeł. Ktoś był królem, ktoś inny pastuszkiem. Chodzili z gwiazdą i turoniem. Śpiewali kolędy i przedstawiali krótkie sceny z narodzin Chrystusa.
Chcieliśmy przypomnieć tą tradycję więc zaprosiliśmy nasze Rodziny i pokazaliśmy im nasze przedstawienie. Potem jeden z naszych tatusiów przeczytał fragment Pisma Świętego. Dzieliliśmy się opłatkiem i jedliśmy tradycyjne potrawy świąteczne. Czuliśmy się jak jedna duża rodzina.

The legend of the moon and the sea... a Portuguese story...

Portugal is the western territory of Europe, is located at southwest of Europe in the ocidental area of Iberic Peninsula. It has total area of 92.092 km and is between Spain and the Atantic Ocean.It has a large seaside coast and one of the oldest and traditional occupation is fishing.
"The legend of the moon and the sea" is an ancient oral legend, told by fishermen while they were sewing there nets.
During the 19th century a Portuguese writer, Raul Brandão, son and grand-son of fishermen, wrote about the life in sea, and in one of his books, told the legend that he used to heard when, as a boy, we was working with his famely at the beach.
We use his words to make the story that explains, in a very naif way, the phases of the moon and the tides.
We also used power point, some photos researched with the help of children´s families, drawings using predefined shapes in paint, some images from clip art, and some research done in the classroom.
This is our story. We hope you like it!
We wish you all a very Happy New Year.
Maria and children from the kindergarden of S.Bento, Valejas, Lisbon

Now in Portuguese...

Portugal é o mais ocidental território da Europa, situado no sudoeste Europeu na Peninsula Ibérica. Tem uma área total de 92.092 Km e está entre Espanha e o Oceano Atlantico. Tem uma grande costa maritima e uma das mais antigas e tradicionais profissões é a pesca.
"A lenda da Lua e do Mar" é uma lenda contada oralmente pelas gentes do mar, enquanto cuidavam das redes.
Durante o sec. XIX, um escritor Português, Raul Brandão, Filho e neto de pescadores, escreveu sobre a vida no mar e, num dos seus livros, recontou a lenda que ouvia em criança.
Nós usamos as suas palavras para construir a história, que, dum modo muito simplista, explica as fases da lua e as marés.
Montámos o Power point com algumas imagens encontradas com a ajuda das famílias, imagens desenhadas recorrendo ao paint, algumas imagens do clip art, e alguma pesquisa feita na sala de aula.
esta é a nossa história, Esperamos que gostem!
Bom Ano Novo

How to upload power point to the blog

Dear Janet
Thank you so much for your presentation. It was realy nice to meet you, your school and the children.
I leaft you a message in the reviews behind your message. I understand that you make a power point but you are not able to put it in the blogue. To put a power point in the blogue you must go to WWW.sklideshare. com, and upload it there. To upload it, you have to create an acount (is free), then do the upload (send the presentation to the server), and when it is ready, you have to copy the "embed code". Them "embed in your blogue", that means to past the code in the text box of your massege.
I hope I make myself clear. I am not very good in explanations.
Have a nice day
Maria

Coelbren School

Hello,I had made a Powerpoint with the children about their class, but I don't thinkit can be uploaded. So, here are some photos instead! It shows the school, the infant class with their teacher, Susan Martin, and the children looking at the camera.
Best wishes
