Tea garden ceremony, photo contest and a water quiz in North Italy

Last 27th April we officially opened our school's tea garden: the pupils built two areas, a japanese tea garden and an english one. We celebrated the day of forests, water and meteorology with a photo contest and a game called "How much water?" whose aim was to focus the pupils' attention on the water consumption. It was a great day, the pupils took part to the ceremony and they enjoyed the contest and the game. Our city major came to award the winners of the contest and he took part to the ceremony. Here you can find some pictures of the "making of" the garden, the ceremony, the contest and the game. You'll also find the two pics who won the contest, one from a teacher and the other from a girl from the first class. See you all soon!"

Tea Garden in Portugal

Here in Portugal we have already planted our Tea Garden. As we are waiting for the new school to be built we had to create an alternative solution for our garden.

 On 18^th April we had the Opening Ceremony of our Tea Garden and we had a little party with tea and some cookies.

Portuguese impressions after visit in Germany

In March we went to Angermunde, in Germany to participate in the 2nd Comenius meeting.

Bruno says “I liked going to Germany. I liked the colleagues of the project Tea Garden and I enjoyed the activities we did there. My favourite activities were the stroll in the lake and visiting the historic sites.I also liked the hotel and breakfast.I liked the teachers and the colleagues that went with me in the trip.”

Jessica says “Going to Germany was a wonderful experience because it gave us the opportunity to meet other people and other habits. I was a bit afraid of the plane trip but I ended up by enjoying it a lot. I liked all the activities but my favourite was the visit to the Zoo, because I love animals.”

Bruno Luz says “I liked the plane trip, the youth centre and visiting the Zoo"

We really appreciated our trip
