Dear Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Slovenian and Turkish partners,
we are your friends from Bulgaria. We are from classes 2b, 3v, 4g and 4d. We want to tell you about our life in March. On March 1 we the 2-nd graders visited an elderly house and gifted the old people martenitsi. They were so happy!
March is full of holidays for us.
1 – March – we pin “Martenitsi” on our lapels. They are a symbol of health (the red) and purity (the white). We sent you some martenitsi with your teachers.
3 March – the national holiday of our country-our liberation. On that day we commemorate and pay honour to our heroes.
8 March – the international day of women. It’s calebrated in Eastern Europe. On that day we give presents and flowers to our mothers, grandmothers and women teachers. The streets are full of women carrying bunches of flowers.
11 March – The holiday of our school. We celebrate the 270th anniversary of our patron saint – Sofronii Bishop of Vratsa. He was a religious figure, a poet, writer, translator and a revolution figure.
We had a big concert. Our school was 100.
Your teachers and 12 children from Slovenia came to our holiday. The Slovenian children performed interesting dances and games.
22 March – spring came … but with a lot of snow. This year March has been snowy. It only melted when the foreign guests came. Lucky them’
Last week 4g and 4d class went to the village of Chelopek. We visited the house- museum of an old woman who lived in the 1870s and rescued a revolutionary. We took lots of photos.
We also have pen pals from Texas US on another project
The American children are friend to our 4-graders.
The 2-graders love books. Yesterday we met a contemporary Bulgarian author. She told us how she had written her books. We asked her questions. It was very interesting.
For the school holiday there were a lot of contests. We received diplomas in music, art and poetry.
So, we are the children from classes 2 b, 3 v, 4g and 4d. We told you about ourselves in March. We will write you again to tell you what happened in April and May.
We are looking forward to receiving your emails.
When is your Easter? Are there any festivals in Turkey soon?
Bye
