Viriathus with 8th B

VIRIATHUS Our Portuguese Mascot

2008-06-17T22:37:00.004Z

VIRIATHUS
PORTUGUESE NATIONAL HERO
Viriathus (was one of the leaders of the Lusitani tribe that countered the Romans in the regions known today as Portugal and Extremadura. He was betrayed by a handful of followers for money. However, after Viriathus was killed, these followers were killed or enslaved. When in charge of the Lusitanian guerrilla (147 BC - 139 BC), Viriathus defeated the Roman army numerous time.

Viriathus' life
Little is known about Viriathus. Very probably, he was a shepherd - a normal occupation among the Lusitanians. He was known among the Lusitanians as a great warrior, and many nominated him as leader, which he constantly refused. Some say that he lived near Herminius Mons (today's Serra da Estrela in central Portugal) - the great fortress and heart of Lusitania. Others claim that he lived in Viseu. Today, some people refer to Viseu has being the "city of the Lusitanians".
In ancient Portuguese history, Viseu is noted as one of the major urban centers in the area where Viriathus, a legendary warrior and national hero, lived.
Viseu has a statue of Viriathus, the Lusitanians' leader who fought the invading Romans for the freedom of Lusitania, made by the sculptor Mariano Benliure.

PROGRESSIVE STORY

2007-03-08T15:06:00.000Z

In this topic students will write a progressive story.The Portuguese students are going to begin the story and post it here. Then, the students from the other countries will continue it.We hope it will be fun doing it... and reading it (of course).

Portuguese part of the story:

SUN´S VILLAGE

A long, long time ago, at Sun’s village, all the community was resting in the little café at the top of the mountain, the only place that was still illumined by the sunset.
They were happily laughing and chatting when Timbutina heard a sound, that wasn’t at all like the ones that usually surround her.
“Hium…hium…”, she heard. It was a very depressing voice.
Naturally, she got up and started looking for the origin of that bothering sound. After looking almost everywhere, she was about to give up searching when she found a very weird animal, similar to an elephant’s child, hidden on a corner, looking scared and sad…
At first Timbutina was afraid of the animal because it looked strange but then she started feeling sorry for it.
She decided to call her friend Balburcio who was also in the café.
- Balburcio, Balbusrcio, you must help me! – called Timbutina
- What happened? – asked him surprised.
- I found a strange animal over there. – she answered.
- Really? Can you show me? – replied Balburcio.
They walked quickly towards the place where the strange creature was hiding. When they arrived there, they saw nothing….
Balburcio looked at Timbutina suspiciously and said:
- Timbutina, are you sure you saw anything?
- Yes, I am. Maybe it was scared and ran away!
- You must be dreaming! – mocked him.
- No, I’m not. I’m sure I saw something.
They decided to go out and look for the creature.
When they were passing near a dumpster, they heard sounds again. They looked inside and they found the animal.

German part of the story:

Balburcio went white.

-What's that?- he asked.

The anymal didn't look scared or sad anymore!

No, it seemed to be angry, very angry...

and suddenly it opened it's mouth with a loud "wooooooah".

Timbutina screamed.

The animal had so big teeth!!! Was it going to kill them?

- Timbutina, we have to run. Quickly!! - Balburcio shouted.

Then they ran straight into the forest and they knew they shouldn't...

This forest was called the "Forest of Death".

Everybody was so scared about that forest.

Years ago there were some children who ran into it and never came back.

Timbutina and Balburcio ran as fast as they could ..

But was it fast enough?

The animal had climbed out of the dumpster and it came nearer and nearer...

Bulgarian part of the story:

Balburcio and Timbutina were very frightened. They had no escape and the only thing to do was to climb a tree but unfortunately trees in the “Forest of Death” were impossible to climb. Then Balburcio saw a tree and they fast ran to it. It seemed the longest seconds of their life.
The animal almost reached them but they were already on the tree and it couldn’t climb it.
- What will we do now? - asked Timbutina frightened and confused.
There was no chance someone to find them because no one ever went to “Forest of Death”. Screaming also wasn’t a good idea because there wasn’t anyone living near the forest who could hear them.
- I think we are safe for now and we’ll think of something and the animal or whatever it is will go away. – said Balburcio trying to calm Timbutina.
But the animal was standing under the tree and was making some strange noise. It began to get darker and darker. Soon it was night and Balburico and Timbutina were getting sleepy but it was very uncomfortable on the tree. In Sun’s village people began to worry why Timbutina and Balburcio were missing. They decided to wait for them some time and then if they didn’t come back to organize a search. When they didn’t show everyone at Sun’s village decided that something bad have happened and went to search for them. After searching everyone without a result people understood that they must be in the “Forest of Death” but no one wanted to go there especially at night. Meanwhile Balburcio and Timbutina were getting cold and desperate. The animal was still under the tree waiting for them.
- I don’t understand why you are afraid to go in this forest. – said Timbutina’s brother. – I’m going and all who stay here are cowards. – he shouted.
Few men joined him and they went to search for Balburcio and Timbutina. Soon they heard strange noise. When they came closer to it they saw some very strange animal standing under a tree. Timbutina and Balburcio were still on that tree.

CHRISTMAS IN PORTUGAL

2007-01-16T15:54:00.000Z

On Christmas Eve Portuguese families gather around the Christmas tree and the Crèche to celebrate the birth of Jesus. Catholicism is the main religion in Portugal.
Many families attend the Midnight Mass (called "Missa do Galo"). After mass they gather around the table and have supper (called "Ceia de Natal"). On Christmas Eve, supper (called "Consoada") consists of codfish with boiled potatoes and cabbage. After the meal, people eat traditional fried desserts: "filhoses or filhós" are made of fried pumpkin dough; "rabanadas" are similar to french toast; "azevias" are round cakes made of a crust filled with a mixture of chick peas, sugar, and orange peel; "aletria" is a vermicelli sweet with eggs (typical of Douro and Minho region). Another traditional dessert is "Bolo Rei". This is a fruitcake that is typically a New Years cake, but is becoming popular during Christmas Holidays. In the cake there are two surprises: one is a little present like a fake ring, or a little doll, or a medal. The other is not as welcomed. There is a raw broad bean. Whoever gets this bean has to buy the "Bolo Rei" in the coming year. In addition to these desserts there are many other that differ from region to region.
In some regions of the country, carolers sing Christmas carols (called "Janeiras") in the streets.
Some families will open the presents (that are displayed around the Christmas tree) on Christmas Eve around midnight. Others open them in the morning of the 25th, Christmas Day. Some families put one shoe ("sapatinho") of each child next to the chimney (since most of the kitchens in Portugal have one) or next to the fireplace instead of a stocking.
On Christmas Day, people eat stuffed turkey for lunch and the traditional desserts.
During the holiday season towns are decorated with lights. The festivities end on January 6, "Dia de Reis".

Czech Republic

Czech Republic is the crossroad of european cultures. It has got a lot of inspiration for visitors and guests from all over the world. From two thousand four, Czech Republic has been member of the Europe union. It has been a NATO member since 2002.It’s currency is the Czech crown. But in Czech Republic there are beautiful places too, there are forests, nice lakes and Historic spots.

Czech Republic

Our country is in the middle of Europe. We call it the heart of Europe. There live 10 000 000 people. The capital city is Prague.

It is quite small, but there are a lot of sights and beautiful nature.
Czech Republic divides into three parts. They are Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia.

We live in Prague. There are a lot of interesting places e.g. Old Town Square, Prague Castle, Astronomical clock, Charles Bridge and National theatre.

The most famous monument is Astronomical clock. It was made by clockmakers Mikuláš of Kadaň and Jan Šindel, in 14th -15th centuries.

Charles Bridge overarches the river Vltava. There are a lot of statues, which have got a huge historical value. There are artists and stalls with souvenirs on Charles Bridge. A lot of tourists visit Charles Bridge every day.

Prague is great so don’t hesitate to visit this lovely place.

Sport in our capital city

Our capital city is Prague. There are a lot of sports at choice. We can play volleyball, hockey, football, tennis, squash… But we can’t ski and snowboard, because we haven’t got mountains in Prague. In winter we often go ice skating and we go sledge.

There are a lot of sports hall and stadiums such as Sazka arena and T-mobile arena. Our nation loves watching football and hockey matches. We are good at these sports.We go to fit centres, because we want attractive bodies. We go dancing, too.

We love sport very much, because we are full of energy.

Capitan David Výborný is happy, because he wins to Canada on the world cup.

BAD WEATHER AND FLOODS IN PORTUGAL

2006-11-29T23:07:00.000Z

It has been raining a lot in Portugal for the past few days.
Last weekend there were floods in several palces. This picture was taken in Peso da Régua (near Armamar). This situation is very usual here in the winter.
Peso da Régua is known because of the Port Wine (it is its birth place).

TEDDY BEAR

2006-11-29T21:52:00.000Z

Our project includes a "Teddy Bear" activity.
The idea is taking pictures, with a "Teddy Bear" (in this case a Moomin - chosen by Finland), in all the participant countries and share them here.
The Moomin will travel, from time to time. It will follow this order: Finland, Portugal, Germany,Czech Republic and Bulgaria.
The Moomin is a lucky animal!!!
Take a look at the pictures.

MOOMINMAMMA'S ADVENTURES IN FINLAND

This is Moominmamma. She is the mother of the Moomin family. She was created by Tove Jansson (1914-2001), a Finnish novelist, painter, illustrator and comic strip author.
Moominmamma spent some lovely time with us here in Finland. In this picture she is enjoying the first snow in Nousiainen. Unfortunately, the snow melted after a few days, and we haven't seen snow since. This autumn has been exceptionally warm here in Finland.

Moominmamma travelled to Lapland with two of our students, Teemu and Juha. Here she's admiring the fine blue colour of the northern sky.

Getting some good exercise. Moominmamma is climbing up Levi Fell.

Relaxing and sunbathing on top of Pallas Fell.

Back in the south and in Nousiainen, Moominmamma decided to go to the library - to read Moomin books, of course.

Standing in front of St. Henry Church in Nousiainen.

Moominmamma obviously likes churches. In this picture she is visiting Turku Cathedral. Moominmamma is the tiny white spot at the bottom of the photo. If you are lucky, you can find her...

Of course Moominmamma visited our school,too. Here she is sitting in the flowerpot and checking the school from the outside.

Moominmamma alone in the school hall. The lessons must be on because there's nobody around.

In the computer lab. This is where our international group meets every Wednesday morning. That's Moominmamma and Laura in the foreground.

Moominmamma was very eager to help the students with the being e-friends project.

At the moment Moominmamma is travelling to Portugal. We wish her a safe journey and hope that she will have lots of fun on her European tour!
