Hello,
in the next week we'll have a Science Fair and a Book Fair. We also will have a "Food Bank Against Hunger" to help every family in need all around town. A lot of students will be in all of the supermarkets and mini-markets in town, and ask people to buy something to the bank, so we can help the families and students in our school that need it. It also collects and distribute ten thousands of tons of products and support along the year more than 1400 institutions in Portugal. At least 216000 people receive the products that the food bank gives them.
It's really important to help people around us! We can't let people, especially students from our school starve! Our help will make a big difference. 

Curiosity: 
The first "Food Bank Against Hunger" was open in the United States, Phoenix(Arizona) in 1966. This idea was brought to Europe in 1984, and to Portugal in 1992 with opening in Lisboa. After that, many others food banks were opened in Portugal.

Greek pupils preparing the Comenius corner.....!!!!

Hello there!
Next week we're going to have a science fair where we (students and teachers) are going to present a lot of chemistry and science  experiences, with daily objects such as forks, spoons, cups, mirrors, clips, pots, among others...
This year the third term has been very  exhaustive and hard. This year we have a lot of exams, especially the eleventh and twelfth grade.

The weather is getting better and although we would like to go out with our friends,and go to the beach too [Of Course]... It's kind of boring to stay at home to study and prepare the experiences for the Science Fair.

Holidays,where are you?


Kisses from your friends,

Joana S. , Eva, Catarina L. and Joana O.

What we did this days...

The sun came out this week for three days but it’s raining again. Helping the bad weather we have loads of tests and in 3 weeks we are having really important exams. Some of us are having a portuguese test tomorrow and we have to study an important book – Memorial do Convento - from a well know portuguese writer, José Saramago that won the Nobel Prize of Literature, check it out…    ;)

Today we are a bit sad about the game of last night. Our portuguese team (Benfica) went to Amsterdam to play the Europa League Final. We fought well but it wasn’t enough unfortunately we lost but we have our heads high and we came out with our pride. 

Hi!
Last week we had the Irish, Greek and Italian teams here (Portugal), plus the teachers from the other teams like France, Poland, Turkey and Romania. The experience was fantastic and the people we met were really nice and we want to repeat all this experience!
We miss all of you, and we hope that you learned something from our culture and our habits.

Comenius 2013

In groups we came together and went to the library to come up with an idea for the pitch. When we finished we presented the book cover and the idea behind it. It was a great way to communicate and bring all of the students from different countries together. At the end of the pitch the teachers decided which group won.

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :D


Today we were put into seven different groups and we had to create the front cover for Lis Diary. At the beginning of the meeting we had today, we said a few things about the person next to us. Then we were told what our task for the afternoon was. Within our assigned groups we brainstormed different ideas and after an hour we had to present our final idea to the rest of the students and teachers. All the ideas presented were different and unique, however we all agreed that the Comenius project is all about being united by learning about each other and working as a team. We all learned how to work as a team with people from different countries and to respect others . We had a great time getting to know other people from different countries.

Italians' opinion

Italian group is happy to have the opportunity to be in Portugal and to take part in the Comenius Project.. We want to thank all of the people that organized this project and we hope that it can continue in the future and it can give the same opportunity to other people. Grazie!
