April Poland
Easter
As you
might know the entire week before Easter is called Holy Week, and during that
time there’s a lot of things going on here.
Palm
Sunday
Exactly 7
days before the main celebrations take place, people gather for a procession
with palms in their hands. This is the moment when they begin to
celebrate.
Blessing
of the easter baskets
It is blessing the food
that will be eaten during the Easter feast. Of course, you won’t spot people
bringing tables full of many traditional dishes right to the front of the
church (it would be funny though) instead, a small amount of the most important
food like eggs, bread, meat and butter are put inside the basket. It’s a very
important tradition in Polish culture so you can often spot entire families
participating in it.
Holy
Sunday
Sunday morning in this
case means the big, traditional, family breakfast. It starts with sharing of
the blessed food we’ve already talked about between family members. It’s also a
time of small talk between each other during which everyone wishes each other
and themselves all the best. After that, the main activity takes place –
eating. We won’t lie to you! Some people may say that Easter is all about
tradition, celebration, meeting with family but deep down they know that it’s
also mainly (or all) about food. After the breakfast is finished, people take a
walk and enjoy the rest of the day.
Easter Eggs
In Poland eggs are not
only used as food on the table. As well, they’re an important part of the
Easter tradition. Children decorate them with paints, crayons, stickers,
tissue-paper etc. After they’re ready they are used as a decoration for the
Easter table and they’re also a part of the Easter bucket.
Wet
Monday
You do everything that
make others all wet. Don’t be surprised when you see a small boy running around
with the big bucket of water ready to pour it out on a random girl he sees. The
most dangerous places during that day? Churches, parks, small streets,
squares…well to be honest, you can’t feel 100% safe anywhere ;).
March Poland
Women's
Day (March 8th)
It
is celebrated on March the 8th of each year. It is a major day of global
celebration for the economic, political and social achievements of women. It is
also an occasion for men to express their love to the women around them.
Women's
Day was very popular during communistic times and has been is celebrated more
as a national holiday for all women, whether they are 8, or 80 years old. At
that day, all women in Poland
In
this occasion we had some workshops. Our students with their mums made
necklaces.

Our visit in Spain

visits.

values, food and culture, to be compared among Comenius partners. The main goal
was to understand and compare our cultural background and to exchange
information about countries.

October - visit in Poland
20 października 2014 roku goście z Turcji,
Hiszpanii i Rumunii – uczestnicy programu Comenius odwiedzili Szkołę Podstawową im. Jana Pawła
II w Pisarzowicach. W Sali WDK mieli okazję spotkać się z panem Burmistrzem Marianem
Trelą, kierownikiem ZOSiP – u panią Bożeną Sobocińską, przedstawicielami
lokalnych władz, dyrektorami gminnych szkół i, oczywiście, uczniami Szkoły,
którzy przygotowali bogaty program powitalny. Gości powitała pani Dyrektor
Lidia Dziubek oraz pan Burmistrz.
Najpierw najmłodsi – dzieci z klas pierwszych,
drugich oraz czwartych zaprezentowały tańce ludowe: krakowiaka, poloneza i
polkę. Opiekę nad nimi sprawowały panie: Barbara Więzik, Jolanta Gacek i Edyta
Tora.
Następnym punktem była przygotowana przez
panią Sandrę Słowik i Annę Mączkę prezentacja w języku angielskim. Każdemu
miesiącowi przyporządkowano charakterystyczne dla niego zwyczaje w Polsce.
Styczeń to czas noworocznej zabawy, dlatego tez Kuba Baron i Jola Jakóbowska
odtańczyli gorącą sambę, w lutym są ferie, marzec – kwiecień to czas
Wielkanocy, a więc goście mieli okazję zobaczyć polski, wielkanocny stół. 1, 2
i 3 maja to dni w Polsce szczególne, a 1 czerwca świętują dzieci. Dziewczyny i
chłopcy z klasy VIA przywitali tanecznie wakacje, czyli lipiec i sierpień.
Wrzesień to czas powrotu do szkoły, a w Polsce czas… wesel. W październiku
obchodzimy Dzień Edukacji Narodowej, w listopadzie Święto Niepodległości, a
grudzień to, rzecz jasna, Boże Narodzenie. Tym razem zaprezentowano stół
wigilijny, a Maja Zamłyńska zaśpiewała kolędę Cicha Noc po angielsku.
W dalszej części spotkania głos zabrali
zagraniczni goście, którzy z kolei opowiedzieli o zwyczajach panujących w ich
krajach. Szczególnie efektowne były prezentacje tańców tureckich i
hiszpańskiego flamenco.
Następnie uczestnicy programu Comenius przekazali sobie pamiątkowe
upominki – lalki w strojach regionalnych. Po uroczystości w Sali WDK gości
zaproszono do zwiedzania szkoły. Szczególnym punktem była galeria prac
lokalnych twórców udostępniona przez pana Władysława Carbola.
