Christmas customs in Germany
Often children have a advent calendar ( every day they open a “door” and get a little present). On the 6th Dezember is a famouse day: St Nicholas, parents put presents in socks and in fettled shoes. When children were bad, they get a rood.
It gives 4 advents, that are the 4 Sundays till the Christmas evening. Often peoples go in the church on this day. They light up a candle on first advent, 2. advent- 2 candels……. And so on.
Sometimes people bake cookies and eat stolen.
In Germany it gives a Christmas market where you can play games, eat and they sit in carrouse and can buy presents for christmas.
The christmas tree is very important for the German peoples .They put presents under it and on the 24th,Dezember often children open it. On the evening the most people eat sausage and potato salad. On the 25th Dezember the people enjoy the winter-feeling and in the evening they eat duck, dumplings and red cabagge. On the 26th Dezember the people relaxe.
Our trip to Germany
Last October the English and Music teachers, Virgínia Gouveia and Sara Santos went to Germany, to visit Ecolea, in Warnemunde, Rostock. They went by plane to Hamburg and then they caught a train to Rostock, where the German teachers Frau Catherine and Herr Uwe, picked them up and and took them to Warnemunde. It was a long trip!
This visit included also the Bulgarian teachers, Olie and Paulie, and was made to prepare all the work and the visits the students will take part in the Comenius project.
They found the school facilities very nice and very different from those in our school and they liked Warnemunde a lot, although it was very windy and cold. Some students, Robert, Felix, Henning and Garlef took them in a guided tour around Rostock, a very nice town with beautiful houses, and showed them many interesting monuments, such as the University building, the City Hall and St Peter´s Church. They were very kind and spoke English very well.
It was a very interesting trip.
Back at school, the teachers showed us some photos and postcards and gave us information about that part of Northern Germany, so different from Portugal. You will be able to see that, when you come around.
