Spain Project Meeting Preperations Conclusions.

First of all, teachers put together the slideshow how the traditional foods were made and how the students decorated the recipes. The school is still running the energy savings program Switch Off. A brief conclusion of how much we've saved so far was made and the presentation for the project meeting.
In order to perform well, Liisbet, Evita and Lauri practiced their English presentation with teacher Evelyn for a few days. Liisbet and Evita communicated actively with the Spanish host students.
Lauri was a humble letter writer. Tuesday, before heading off, we discussed what we should take with us. Everyone was excited about the trip.

Project Meeting

The 14th January was filled with a lot of work. Teacher Meeli organized the plane tickets to Spain in March. This time our school will be represented by our school teachers Evelyn Kurg, Edda Rei and Raul Metsaäär and students Lauri Mölder, Liisbet Karjane and Evita Lohu. They already filled their forms, which the host families were already waiting for. As we decided to continue saving energy in our school, Reino started preparing the energy savings board. We are going to start on the 18th January and we will finish at the end of the school year. Sandra will ask the principal for the school electricity readings every week. The boys divided the school into sections, where they will monitor the corridor lights. We hope that the whole school will start saving energy with us. The girls with teacher Edda chose 3 recipies. Evita and Gladis translated them into English with teacher Evelyn. Liisbet and Karol with the teachers put together the energy savings board.

On 21th January Reino, Ingomar and Lauri finished the energy savings table which they put up on the ground floor. We anxiously wait for the results. The girls started decorating the recipes with teacher Edda.

Healthy Estonian Food Day.

On 16th December we made our final preperations for the healthy foods day.

On 22th December we had the healthy Estonian food day, where the students could learn about eating healthy foods.

The day started with Anne Kersna lecturing forms 4.-9. . At the beginning of the lecture she introduced a book titled Estonian Food. We found out a lot of interesting stories about food customs, food ingredients, their origin and healthyness. At the end of the lecture students could show what they had learned at the lecture. The day continued with preparing the dishes. Students made traditional Estonian dishes, served them in the school canteen and decorated their recipes. The judges evaluated how the dishes were served, how the food tasted and how well the recipes were decorated. The best cooks were forms 5, 7b and 7a students, whose dishes tasted delicious and were beautifully served.

There were also special prizes given out:

6b - the school cook added their food to the school canteen menu.

8 - best homemade food.

9 - simple and traditional.

6a - the most Christmass-like food.

The project team has to decide next year, which Estonian dish we are going to present to our project partners to taste.
