LISTORIA: European youngsters explore their common past in stories and poetry.

… go marching in.

Have a look at the creative work of our Hungarian youngsters. Don’t they all look like saints?

O when the saints…

In Belgium we presented the lifes of some saints in a creative way. Some of the pupils made a quiz or a nice PowerPoint presentation. Some used the tool Xtranormal. This is fun! Here you have the clip made by the legendary Tanja who made a clip about Saint Susanna of Rome. Have a look at some other Xtranormal clips as well.

Christmas party

At last the winter school break has come. The class 6.b had a christmas party with many presents and fun.
We wish all of our partners merry christmas and happy new year!

Back to the time of legends

Now we’re six grades in Fót and on History lessons we’re roaming in the medieval age of Hungary what time was rich of extraordinary, outstanding people. Among them we can find not only heroes and kings but princesses, later they were looked, respected saints because of their self-sacrificing lifes. The 6.b listened to the three legends of three Hungarian saints. They were close relatives, Margit and Kinga were sisters, Elisabeth was their aunt in the Árpád royal family.
My poor pupils! they had to listen to the stories very carefully because they got pools from the three legends. But they did that very well. The stories are interesting so I recommend to everybody’s attention. You can find the brief versions of those on wikipedia not only in Hungarian.

Folk in reality

Probably it was not an accident that class 5.b went to a skanzen (open air folk museum) for the class trip. Suddenly they were dropped back into the rural past and they experienced the traditional man and woman work. They could see the circumstances of how people used to live in a village house, of course with no electricity, and they did the duties what were very normal 100-150 years ago. The girls did the housekeeping and produced butter while the boys cared about the animals. At the end of the day they ate the delicious slices of bread and butter with some chopped onion.

Finishing the visit we travelled by horse car around the skanzen.

Never ending (Li)stori(a) in Fót

In Fót the 5.b  keep going on the Listoria project. Two weeks ago the class read a beautiful tale about the dutch symbols: the tulip, the mob-cap and the wooden shoes. The pupils got a textunderstanding worksheet from me and despite that they still like the tale very much. (Eventually they told me that.)  And now they’ve been illustrating the tale getting instructions from the art teacher.  I hope next weekend I can upload the ready masterpieces.

News from Tampere – Finland

Hi everyone! We’ve seen the Hungarian and Belgian students have been working on a poem and on folk tales already. Interesting drawings and an original video clip! In Tampere we’ll start our work on the folk tales in February when the class is back to school after a period of work. By the end of February you should be able to see our contribution: a modern version of a Flemish story among others. So, we’ll be back!
