" A bookbinding workshop" in Slovenj Gradec- Slovenia

The pupils of Druga osnovna scola Slovenj Gradec, Slovenia, created aninteresting book with traditional chants and rhymes, also thoseincluding numbers, which is a part of the plan in our project. Theyworked on it in a workshop called " A bookbinding workshop". Pupilsthemselves collected the rhymes and chants, chose the suitable ones,wrote them down and bound a book.

Those rhymes are hard to translatebecause some of them don't even have a real meaning in Slovenelanguage but are used just for counting out and other games for children. There were some more workshops going on the same they where pupilsworked on toys. But these toys will be a surprise until the meeting inSpain.The pupils and teachers from the Slovenian team of ComeniusInter-Cool-Ture wish you a very happy and successful year 2010.
