Tiny Thoughts of Prejmer

Childhood is a magical land. We do not know when

and where it ends. We wake up just as we are, not children

anymore, sometimes without having fully lived.

It’s a magical world, tender, sweet, smooth, where

anything can happen. It is the age when we are closer to

God and to the stairs of existence. We can often meet the

dragon with seven heads or the evil witches. There can also

be wizards and heroes from movies and comics in our

dreams or just in our imagination. As a child, we can

always visit any place in the world with our mind’s eyes and

we believe that we were really there.

Childhood is the only moment in

life when we live with a maximum intensity, when you cry

and laugh in the same time and when we are alone and also

together as friends.

I like dancing because it is a beautiful, fun

and nice sport. Dancing is my biggest passion

because I can express all my feelings.

I started dancing when I was five, on my

own, listening to music and creating my own

dancing routines. After a couple of years, I have

started dancing with my school colleagues, when

we created our own dancing group.

We represented our school at many local

events and festivities with dancing routines

choreographed by us. We also participated in a

local TV Show, on Mix2 TV Channel, being

presented with the name of ‘The Dreamers’. In all

the places we went to dance in shows, we were

accompanied by our head teacher, who supports us

in everything we do.

In conclusion, I love dancing because I am

always spending good moments with my friends,

having fun and enjoying the time together.

‘Dancing is my biggest passion

because I can express my feelings’

Dancing is my life

I love fashion because when I grow up I

want to become a fashion designer. I like to draw

sketches with clothes and I love to create new

outfits.

I have learned to sew a couple of years ago

from my mother and grandmother and I would like

to create outfits from scratch, draw them and make

them so that I am able to wear them afterwards.

My favorite designer is Catalin Botezatu.

He is from Romania and I love the designs he

creates.

. In the future, I would love to create a dress

for a princess because it would be beautiful. I love

playing with dolls and creating new outfits for

them, making them have nice long and charming

dresses.

When I grow up I would like to be as good

and famous as Catalin Botezatu.

I LOVE FASHION

My favorite food is chocolate because it is

very sweet and tasty. I usually eat chocolate after

I have my lunch. My favorite type of

chocolate is milk chocolate. I think most children

love it because it is so sweet and yummy. My

friends and I save our money to buy chocolate

whenever we can.

My favourite animals are cats and dogs because they are small and nice. I have two dogs.

Their names are Dody and Boby. They are boys.

They are small, so I can hold them. Boby is white

and Dody is black. They are three years old.

I play games with them in the afternoon.

Dody is my special friend because he is nicer. When

Boby sees me he wags his tail.

My opinion is that every child should have

a dog, because dogs are people’s best friends.

Italy, The Most Beautiful

Country in The WorldBy Andrada Fraies

Italy extends from the Alps and the famous lakes to the island

of Sicily in the south. Italy is full of culture and history, such as ruins

from the Ancient Rome.

In Italy, you can also visit the imposing Vatican and roman-

tic Venice. Lands and cabins make Italy one of the most favorite des-

tinations for tourists. Rome, representing the capital of Italy, is

remarkable both for its historical buildings and for its delicious food.

In my opinion, Italy is the most beautiful country of all.

When visiting Italy, I liked walking on the streets of this country and

I also loved all the people there. Moreover, the strongest point that I

loved in Italy was bathing in the warm water of the sea.

In conclusion, Italy is the most beautiful country because of

its history, culture and people. I advise everyone to visit it whenever they have time to do it.

MUSIC IN OURLIVES

Music is relaxing and this is why everyone likes

listening to it. Through music we can express our feelings. Everyone listens to what they like in order to

feel better in their day to day life.

Usually, we listen to music in clubs, at parties and

during many events and festivities. In clubs, people

listen to the type of music on which they can dance.

Moreover, when we go to parties, we also get relaxed

through listening to a wide range of songs. For

example, we like dancing on music such as: hip-hop,

rock & roll, disco and also club music.

However, what I find to be the most important thing is

that all sorts of music express my feelings,

depending on my mood from that particular moment.

When I am in a bad mood, I usually listen to blues and

jazz music, so soft music calms me down. On the other

hand, when I am happy, I listen to Salsa music because

it also makes me dance.

In conclusion, I think music is very important in everyone’s lives because it represents one of themost common hobbies anyone can have.

An Interview with Miss Victoria Richman, a journalism volunteer

with Projects Abroad Romania

What’s your name and where are you from?

My name is Victoria Richman and I am from England.

Which are the reasons why you came to Romania?

I am a journalism volunteer with Projects Abroad and I am here to take interviews and write articles for a magazine called

The Village, which promotes Romanian traditions and culture.

What are you doing at the Prejmer Day Care Centre?

I am here to help you create your own English Magazine, together with my journalism colleagues from Projects Abroad.

Do you like working with children?

Yes, I like it and I found it very entertaining and fun.

Do you feel uncomfortable with the language barrier that exists while teaching us?

Sometimes it is a bit difficult, but we manage to work it out in a way or another.

For how long were you here in Romania and do you miss home?

I was here for a month. And yes, I miss it, but just a bit. Here the weather is nicer than in my country.

Do you plan to come back next summer to visit the children from the Prejmer Day Care Centre?

I would love to do that if I had time for travels.

DE-ALE NOASTRE IN VACANTA

La Centrul Social de Zi pentru Copii Prejmer ne-am

distrat la Clubul de Vacanta intre 21 iunie – 27 august

2010. S-au inscris peste 100 de copii de la 6 la 11 ani la

ateliere de teatru,indemanare si creativitate, invatarea

limbii engleze, dansuri si jurnalism. Am lucrat impreuna cu

echipa de la Centru si cu profesoare de la Scoala

Generala Prejmer si Colegiu. Ne-au placut mult

activitatile cu voluntarii olandezi, britanici si australieni

indrumati de catre Alexandra si Daniela de la

Organizatia Projects Abroad din Brasov. Cei pasionati de

drumetii au facut la pas zeci de kilometri pe trasee mai

usoare sau mai dificile la Vama Buzaului, Teliu, Poiana

Brasov si pe Muntele Tampa. Am vizitat Centrul Istoric al

Brasovului si Cetatea Rasnov. Cursul de inot si programul

saptamanal de la Piscina din orasul Sfantu Gheorghe a

fost preferat de multi copii. Cei mai curajosi au reusit sa

invete sa inoate.

Felicitari!

Vacanta noastra

de Diana Maria

Noi , copiii ne bucuram de fiecare

vacanta de vara...dar vacanta aceasta a fost cea

mai frumoasa dintre toate deoarece noi ne jucam

chiar daca avem teme. Ne facem temele chiar

daca avem foarte putine, ne jucam chiar daca nu

avem chef...e perfecta...pacat ca in curand va

incepe scoala dar noi vom astepta cu nerabdare

urmatoarele vacante. In vacanta asta de vara

ne-am jucat in parcuri, la centru, la bloc, ne-am

dus la bunici, la matusi, la unchi, la verisori si

verisoare. A fost nemaipomenit!!!

Noi avem un fel de club al

n o s t r u : D i a n a ( e u ) , A n d r e e a , G e o rg i a n a ,

3*Ionut,Ovidiu,Stefan,Paul,Lucian.Noi l-am

numit asa deoarece ne jucam impreuna in toate

locurile: la centru, la bloc, in parcuri si in

excursii.

E o vara nemaipomenita!!!

IN PARCde Ana Apafi

Unul din locurile preferate pentru intalnirile noastre a

fost Parcul din fata Cetatii. Zi de zi ne adunam sa

petrecem timpul liber impreuna. Ne jucam cu mingea,

stateam de vorba si de multe ori admiram spectacolul

oferit de cei care aveau curajul sa se dea pe

skateboard. Sau unii cu scooter-ul. Am devenit

prieteni buni petrecand atatea ore impreuna. In curand

va incepe scoala si vom ramane doar cu amintirea

zilelor frumoase de vacanta. Noi speram ca va dainui

si prietenia.

DANSURI GERMANE SI DE SOCIETATE

Un grup de 20 copii prejmereni de 5 -14 ani au

participat in fiecare marti la cursurile de dansuri

germane si de societate organizate de catre Forumul

Democrat German din Prejmer. Colegii nostri au

fost indrumati de catre Dagmar Kloos intr-un spatiu

pus la dispozitie de D-na Colt Mihaela pe str. Noua.

Daca pana acum au reusit sa invete primii pasi de

dans din toamna cursurile se vor relua si sunt

asteptati toti cei care iubesc dansul.

PENTRU CAMPIONI NU

EXISTA VACANTA

Copiii de la Prejmer care au ales sa practice

luptele libere au un program continuu de

pregatire si in timpul vacantei. Ei sunt indrumati

de catre Iordache Sorin si Branzea Nicolae.

Antrenamentele lor se desafoara in sala de sport

a Scolii Generale Prejmer. Munca lor serioasa

le-a adus pana acum o multime de medalii la

concursuri judetene si zonale. In acest an s-a

infiintat Asociatia Sportiva „Viitorul „ Prejmer si

noi le dorim mult succes si multe, multe medalii.
