Comenius Song

Our world is so big,

Yet we are so small,

What brings us together?

You, Us and all.

Turkey and Wales and Germany too,

Say croeso and merhaba, guden margen to you!

CHORUS

We all live on earth, we all share the land,

Our strength lies in firendship

Hold out our hands,

Not strangers now friends and thankful we’ve met.

Comenius got us together, lets never forget.

Our worlds is so big, but lets make it small

Our voices together

All standing tall.

Turkey and Wales and Germany too,

Sing proudly together and share friendship to!

(repeat again)

Comenius Song

We song our “Comenius Song” as our international school anthem.

It is song during cultural celebrations such as St. David’s Day and when we do any “Comenius” or international assemblies.

Cinderella Game

Cinderella is sweeping the floor

The Messenger comes to Cinderella’s house

The fairy godmother casts a spell on Cinderella. The spell changes her clothes from old, plain clothes into a beautiful, ball dress.

Cinderella arrives at the ball in her beautiful dress

Cinderella dances at the ball

The prince puts the slipper onto Cinderella’s foot.

Cooking

As part of our Comenius Project we have swapped “international” traditional recipes and had great fun and enjoyment making them in our lavender room. We have made and tasted several Turkish and German recipes. These have included such recipes as Cacik and Yaprak Sarma

5.Project Meeting November 29

We arrived at Stuttgart airport in the afternoon. After a long que at passport control, Edith met us at the airport. At the school the kids greeted us with a fabulous ceremony. We were touched by the warm welcoming of the parents, kids, Frau Moser Ehrlein, the inspector, and Frau Schimdt, the person who is responsible from the day nurseries in Karlsruhe. The kids sang our national anthems and played them with the flute. After the ceremony we tasted the delicious, traditional food made by the parents. It was a fairly rich buffet meal. Then, we checked the physical circumstances of the school.

5.Project Meeting November 30

Edith and Jasmine took us from the hotel and we came to the school. The kids performed a brilliant show. They celebrated Reinhard’s and my birthday. The countries presented their gifts to eachother. Then we had our Project meeting and Edith made a presentation about the daily routine of the school and she showed us some examples from the kids’ portfolios. We had lunch together with the kids. After the lunch we had a chat with the kids. Then we went to a Christmas Market in Black Forest. It was an interesting area with the national architecture. We had a rest in a coffee shop where we tasted the traditional deserts. After a small shopping we visited the Narrenmuseum Niggelturm Gengenbach museum and we had information about their old traditional festival. Edith explained us their traditional carnival in detail. At the square we watched the ceremony of “Jim Knopf kommt nach Gengenbach”. After that at dinner we tasted a delicious traditional food and had a chat.
