"Dear friend,
I'm Aina again!
I'm writing about the holiday of my dreams!!!
My best holidays are going to Disney and Paris, in France, with my friends because I have been there and I liked it very much. But my dream will be that Disneyland opens only for my friends and me, ha, ha!!! (impossible)
I also like going to Menorca with my best friends. May be I will go this summer with my family and friends. It's a very nice place, with beaches and small villages. But my dream is to go by plane, and by a limousine, to go by Menorca making on a tour, and people looking at us! ha ha ha
And you? Write soon!!!
Bye, Aina."

Comenius meeting in Duisburg

The first year Comenius meeting was held in Germany, particulary at Reinhard und Max Mannesmann Gymnasium.




























We would like to thank the Reinhard und Max Mannesmann Gymnasium for several well organized days with work sessions and meetings with the different representatives of the partners' schools.

The night of the Three Wise Men

The night of the Three Wise Men is a special night. Children put on their balconies food and water, and they expect camels to come that night to eat and drink while the Three Wise Men leave their presents.

Children think they should are have well all year because the Three Wise Men would not bring any presents for them, and that such especial night , they go to bed very early to relax and find their presents the next day.

Sweet coal

In Spain it is traditional that the magi bring as a punishment for naughty children the so-called “carbó” (sweet coal). It consists of sugar, stuck in the form of square, painted black, simulating the actual coal.

The parade of the three Wise Men

This night is very especial for the children. Catalonian people celebrate this day with a parade. The kings go in the coach and they walk by the streets, and throw sweets to the people who are seeing it. Is fun! The streets are fill of people. The pages of the king with horses for the street, after the end of the parade the people go to have dinner with the family, etc. And after… ¡The three wise men have come! and all the presents are under the Christmas tree. The children very happy.

L’home dels nassos (Man of the noses)

In Catalonia the last day of the year, old people tell to children to look with attention to the people, because "l’Home dels nassos" walks the streets and has as many noses on his face as days left in the year.
All children look at the people, searching four some person with 365 noses, but they find none.
At the end of the day, their parents explain them:
- It’s only one day until the end of the year, and because of that everybody has as many noses as days has the year.
