Europe Day was celebrated by a lot of schools. In our school it was very beautiful.
Each 3rd ESO-C student took care of a Pre-school or Primary class. Mine was France. Children were between 3 and 4 years old. I taught them as much as I could
about the European Union and France for one week. They learnt some words in French. They also learnt to sing and dance “Moving” and “Europe’s living a celebration”.
On 12th May children had their faces painted with the French flag. They also waved the small flags that they had painted the week before. I wore a blue shirt with the twelve stars of the Europe Union flag. We went to the playground with the kids.
First three Bachelor students gave a speech in Spanish, English and French. Children waved their flags whenever their country was said.
Then 2nd ESO students danced the song “Europe’s living a celebration” while Clara Mata, a 4th ESO student, was singing it.
Students came to a big Europe map and they shouted “Hooray Europe” in their language after sticking the shape of their country . In the afternoon we had a special French snack and inflated balloons to play. Children behaved very well and were very funny.I was very happy because the children did some drawings for me. It was a day to remember.
Hooray Europe!

EUROPA LEBT!
We have been twenty-seven different countries for a week.
On 12th May we celebrated the Europe Day with all the teachers and all the students of our school. The ceremony was totally fantastic. We’ve been twenty-seven different countries of the European Union for a week. All 3rd ESO-C students and some 3rd ESO-A prepared everything.

It was sunny and very hot. It was really tiring but worthy.

Every class was a different country. Pre-school and Primary students waved the flag of their country in the playground . There was a very big poster of Europe and children had to place the shape of their country on the right place.
Everybody said that the celebration was absolutely fantastic. Our teachers were very surprised (I think they were as surprised as our mates.)
and really happy.
“Why don’t we celebrate another week about something else?” said Javier Lobera, 2nd Primary teacher.
We felt that all our work was worthy. Children’s smile was really special for us.

I really enjoyed it a lot. I was Austrian with my “classmates” for one week and I think we all learnt a lot. It was an absolutely fantastic week.

HURRAY EUROPE EUROPA LEBT! !

EUROPE DAY IN MADRE MARÍA ROSA MOLAS SCHOOL
Slovenian” boys and girls lived their celebration
Last week, 3rd ESO students visited Pre-school and Primary school children to celebrate a very special day, Europe.
We spent a week teaching them the typical events of a country of the European Union (food, dance, flag, anthem, songs ...) We had a fantastic time. I don’t know who had a better time if we or the children.
On Tuesday 12th May, our school had a special celebration. 2nd ESO pupils danced “Europe’s living a celebration”, which Rosa had sang in Eurovision contest in 2001. I had taught the song and the lyrics, which the “Slovenian” boys of my class learned really fast and spectacularly well. On Tuesday 12, we only had to choose two representatives from each class to stick their country shape on a Europe map. It was a totally unforgettable experience.

DISCOVERING EUROPE

Madre María Rosa Molas school in Zaragoza celebrated Europe Day on Tuesday 12th May with a lot of activities and very interesting games for all the students.
The Europe Day was celebrated in Rosa Molas school on the 12th of May.
Last week, all the pupils from 3 to 12 years old, learned new things about different countries. Some grown-up students have helped and taught them for a week.They learned a lot of things about the country: some words in their language, food, colours of the flag, etc.Everybody was doing something. While some pupils were helping children, other were rehearsing songs and a few were drawing a big Europe map.
In spite of the high temperatures, people had a really good time. Each group carried a small flag of their country. Some pupils had their faces painted too. Some children of each group shouted "Hurray Europe" in the language of their “adopted” country, and stack the shape of their country on the totally gorgeous map of Europe.
Other students danced and sang some absolutely fascinating songs so everyone played their part.
Some students finished the day having a snack with typical food of each country.
They left the school with a lot of new knowledge about the European Union and their “adopted” country and they showed everything to their parents. Even though it was the first time that the school celebrated this event, it was absolutely brilliant. Everybody was happy. We hope we can celebrate it.

Zaragoza celebrates Europe Day



Zaragoza celebrates Europe Day
Last 12th May Madre María Rosa Molas School prepared several acts in commemoration of the Day of European Union.

Students from 3 to 18 took part in the numerous activities that were celebrated in the morning. Children and teenagers showed flags of all the member states of the European Union while they shouted “Hooray Europe” in each one of the different languages.

Several symbols of the European Union were represented: the European Union flag, the blue colour and the twelve golden stars -symbol of perfection, completeness and unity and the European anthem, the melody that comes from the Ninth Symphony by Beethoven.

Along the celebration there were young people who sang, danced and played several instruments. The happiness and the amusement reigned and the motto of the European Union “United in diversity” was alive among students and teachers.

“It has been very exciting to see how we are joined without forgetting our own culture and values” said a Secondary pupil.

The Rosa Molas School pretended to honour the European Union, remembering to the pupils its importance and its achievements got during all these years. It was a day of union and harmony. It was a really good day.
