EASTER BUNNY STORY

WHY THE EASTER BUNNY BRINGS EGGS
A European Folktale, adapted by Jean Warren

Once upon a time, there was a King who had a very powerful magician at his court. One day, the magician gave the King a hen that laid beautiful eggs for a present. The king liked the eggs but he was greedy and he told his magician that he would like the hen better, if she could lay eggs of gold. So the Magician worked another magic spell and sure enough the hen started laying eggs of gold.
The king was delighted. He became very rich and the envy of the other kings. He kept his special hen in a golden cage next to his thrown. He knew that someday, someone would try to steal his hen, so whenever visitors came, he would have his magician come and hide the special hen and substitute an ordinary hen in the cage.
Sure enough, one day someone ran off with the hen in the golden cage. The king was glad he had had his magician switch the hens. He sent word for the magician to bring back his hen. But the next day, when the king looked in his golden cage all he found was a white rabbit. “What’s this!” said the King. “Little rabbit, how did you get in here? The King opened the cage and had his footman take the rabbit back out to the woods where he belonged. Then he called for his magician.
“Where is my magic hen?”, asked the King. I told you to bring her back. “I did bring her back,” said the magician. “I put her in the cage”, I just didn’t have time to change her back into a hen.”
They never did find the little white rabbit, but from that day forward, children found colorful eggs hidden all over the kingdom. And some say, that every once in a while someone found a golden one.

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!

Easter is an important Christian festival and holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. There are many different customs for celebrating Easter around the world, but the Friday before Easter Sunday (Good Friday) and the Monday after are given as a bank holiday in the UK.
Early celebrations included the painting of eggs, which represented Jesus' empty tomb. Now we give Easter eggs - often chocolate - to friends and family, and have Easter egg hunts for eggs hidden by the Easter bunny.

Easter Eggs Tradition

The custom of giving eggs at Easter celebrates new life. Christians remember that Jesus, after dying on the cross, rose from the dead. This miracle showed that life could win over death.
Easter Chick

For Christians the egg is a symbol of Jesus' resurrection, as when they are cracked open they stand for the empty tomb. No-one actually knows when eggs were first used as symbols at festival times but it was long before Jesus' time. Eggs were always thought to be special because although they do not seem alive, they have life within them especially at springtime when chicks hatch out.
Long ago people gave gifts of eggs carved from wood or precious stones. The first sweet eggs that were eaten were made in the last 100 years from sugar or marzipan. Since then chocolate eggs have become popular and these are given on Easter Sunday.
Basket of Easter Eggs

In some countries parents tell their children the Easter Hare or Bunny has hidden chocolate eggs and they race to find them round the house or garden. Children in other countries decorate hard-boiled eggs at Easter time by painting or dyeing them.
In some countries such as the United States egg rolling is a popular Easter game. This is usually done with coloured eggs. One of the most well known events is held in America on the White House lawn. Children and parents push the eggs along through the grass with wooden spoons.

HAPPY ST PATRICK´S DAY !!!

Hoy, hemos celebrado St.Patrick´s Day en nuestro cole desde el área de inglés, al tratarse de una festividad de paises de habla inglesa, aunque originalmente de Irlanda. St. Patrick es el patrón de Irlanda y de la isla carbeña de Montserrat, aunque debido a la cantidad de emigrantes irlandeses y de ciudadanos de otros paises con raices irlandesas, hoy en dia, es la festividad que mas se celebra e el mundo,
El cole se ha vestido de verde para tal ocasión y nuestros niños y niñas han aprendido un montón de aspectos sobre la cultura irlandesa, incluída la historia de St.Patricio, gastronomía, folcklore, música, geografía, mitología y un montón de cosas mas, destacando desde el area de inglés, la importancia del aprendizaje de aspectos sociocultuales de los paises de habla inglesa.
En breve pondremos fotos y videos donde toda la comunidad educativa podréis ver qué bien lo hemos pasado a la vez que nos hemos divertido y hemos aprendido un montón.

La semana pasada comenzamos en el cole el Plan de Consumo de Fruta en la escuela y desde el Departamento de Inglés aportamos nuestro granito de arena trabajando con los peques de infantil vocabulario relacionado con las frutas. Cantamos, y elaboramos un craft sobre una fruta. Lo pasamos genial como podéis comprobar.
