Riding on horse When it's grey and cold outside, it's nice to play

boardgames inside our cosy homes.

This is the month for

playing on the

computer, because

outside it`s mostly

cold, windy and

wet at this time

of the year.

It rains in April, but the

weather is warmer, we wear

less clothes and we have

wonderful golf courses in

our district. So… if you can

play the game, April is

probably the finest time

to do it.

Start of the football season!

“Fishing luck!”

Ever dreamed of being a fire fighter? In Germany every

town and village has a voluntary fire brigade and lots of

our pupils are joining in as soon as they are ten years

old.

On Halloween night, we dress up in scary

costumes. We

often watch

horror movies

and we

sometimes go

trick or

treating.

In theese pictures the “Comenius

Guys” are having

fun eating mushrooms and

chestnuts. And so... This is

what Italian Guys do in their

But be careful... You can’t eat

all the mushrooms!!

Portugal is a sunny

country. It is a

Preparing for Christmas

In December the Comenius Guys

enjoy going shopping for their

families.. Because, you know..

It’s Christmas!!

For Christmas we decorate

the house and the Christmas

tree.We invite the family

and friends.Kids love this

holiday because they usually

get a lot of presents !

We don’t have snow everywhere

in Portugal. Some of us have

never seen or walked snow.

Anyway, when we have the

chance, on school trips we may

have that pleasure.

The first

snow again

and we’re out to go skiing.

But we didn’t take our camera, so

we had to borrow a

photo from Ms Bodenstein our teacher, going

down the slopes.
