21th March: zapraszamy wiośna!

Everybody say here that we are lucky, because the Winter this year was not so strong and so cold as usual. For me, still it was quite cold, because we don’t use to have temperatur es less than zero. And in a way, it would have not been a problem if we had more snow… But now, spring is coming!

Everybody is speaking about the weather those days and also about the 21th of March: Day of spring. In France, we don’t use to celebrate it. But I heard that here there is a special tradition, to say goodbye to the Winter. And it was with a beautiful Sun, in the hot test Day of March, that we said goodbye to the Winter.

For that, we build some Marzanna, kind of big puppet. As the tradition wants, we burned them All together, for that we went to the firemen. When I say We, I mean all the przedszkole and the school.  So you can imagine that we were quite a lot, walking to the firemen place.

Besides we arrived, and the firemen made a fire for burning the puppets. And of course, they extinguish the fire, coming with the big truck, showing how they do and how they work.

After that, the special Day was not finisz, coz we went to the school with Dorota, Marzena and Gosia’s group for a spring concours. It was a running concours, which took place on the gimnasium, with some class of the school. The children participated, class by class, running as fast as possibile, following some parcours. Everyone did all he can, they were very motivated and they all deserved prices: some cups and sweets.

After this we came back to the przedszkole quite tired, but happy in this first Day of spring.
