3rd week of febrary

 The week started with a visit: a man from the local police came to the kindegarten and spoke about security prevention on the roads.
After some explanations about the road signs, the children could drive a very special car.

It was very funny to see those car driving (walking) in the way made by panels and signs.






 Also this week, Dorota's group was invited at the school next to the przedszkole, for a birthday party, in the english class.

Everything was prepared: cakes, sweets, birthday hat...
Melih and I were wondering who has a birthday? And we undertsood when the children opened a big box and ook away "Techna", a pink dragon.
Today was Techna's birthday. So we celebrated it, with songs, dances, games and some presents.

Visiting at school

In the previous days, we went to school that close to our kindergarten for meeting. I and Lucille  met students. We talked about what we are doing here, what is EVS and what does mean of EVS


New volunteers are coming to school in this month. The volunteers came from Turkey, Spain and Hungary.
We wrote basic things in our language. Hello, goodbye.. :)

Students asked questions and we were taken photos

Improvisation "Ten in the bed"

Ten in the bed is funny song for children. it is about learning to count numbers in English


Firstly, children learnt the song and numbers in English
children counted numbers from one to ten one by one.
Then we drawn and painted  10 bears on the paper 
and they lied on the bed and rolled over. it was really funny. 
When children try to learn new things if they have fun, it is more easier. 











and it is Turkish wall :) 
we prepared Turkish wall together. Mati and Patrick helped me.


numbers, colours and parts of body in Turkish were written. And ofcourse Polish and Turkish Flags
it is Turkish colours; pembe= pink , beyaz= white, mor= purple, yeşil= green ...
and there are parts of body in Turkish; arm= kol, eye= göz, hair = saç, leg = bacak :)

French tradition: la galette des rois

Today we spoke about a french tradition, quite important in my country. We use to celebrate it in January and febrary, here you have a better explication:



"We Francji istnieje taka tradycja, która związana jest z ciastem o nazwie < la galette des rois >, po polsku można przetłumaczyć jako „ciasto trzech króli”. Ciasto to jest znane i jedzone w całej Francji w styczniu, po święcie Trzech Króli. Zwyczaj polega na wybraniu króla dnia. W tym celu umieszcza się w cieście feve – coś w rodzaju figurki z porcelany. Tak przygotowane ciasto, kroi się tak, żeby starczyło dla wszystkich i dzieli się z innymi. Osoba, która znajdzie w cieście figurkę zostaje królem (lub królową jeśli to dziewczynka). Na głowę zwycięzcy zakłada się koronę i osoba ta wybiera sobie parę (króla lub królową). We Francji nie je się tego ciasta tylko jeden raz, ponieważ tradycja mówi, że zwycięzca powinien kupić lub upiec kolejne ciasto. Tradycję można więc kontynuować bez końca, ale zazwyczaj przestajemy w lutym, gdy zjemy już za dużo ciasta..." 

 
French people have a huge collection of these "figurka" as we celebrate it every year. I brought some of them from France after Christmas to show to the children what it is, and we do with them, how we celebrate "la galette des rois". 
That's a familial tradition, so I thought it could be funny for the children to share it also with there family. Fortunately they have not broken during the trip and I could offer one to each child, to bring at home. 

After some explanations, we put them on a bowl, hidden, and we all choose one. 












For those who are interested in the recipe of "cake of the king", I let the przepis :)
Bon appetit!
