SHIELDS OF LOVE, CYPRUS
We gathered information and discussed about Peter the First, the king of Cyprus during the period 1359-1369.
With our imagination and in a creative mood we made our own shields. We have studied and used emblems that were used in the medieval period:
Also symbols of other kingdoms around Europe like France and England, inspired us to work! Our medieval palette included tones of blue, red, green, black and white. The final products did not disappoint us and were really exciting!
With our imagination and in a creative mood we made our own shields. We have studied and used emblems that were used in the medieval period:
The Jerusalem Emblem
The Lion from the Kingdom of Cyprus
The sword and the inscription from the new Order of Chivalry “the Knights of Sword”, which was organized by Peter the first.

CHRISTMAS CARDS, POLAND
Polish pupils were so happy and excited to receive Christmas cards from partners!!
And this is our Comenius Corner in Christmas mood;))
Comenius song
U-Knight Song
We are Knights of Europe, we are brave
We can stand together hand in hand
We are going to change our world
Even if we don’t use any sword
Our shields are made of real love
Our hearts are full of lovely words
We are gentle and honest and brave
That is how we want to behave
We all are the same
Under the Europe sky
Knights of the nations
As a team we can fly
We all are the same
Together in our home
Let’s be U-Knighted today
Let’s never be alone
PLEDGE OF POLISH KNIGHTS, POLAND
I want to be a Comenius Knight
with all my young and little heart
Protect defendless, little, poor
For those unhappy - be the best cure
Give smile and laughter and helping hand
To make my city a Promise Land.

Sinterklaas, a curious Dutch tradition
Sinterklaas is a bishop, who according to Dutch tradition lives in Spain. He visits The Netherlands every year in November. On the 5th of December all children receive presents from him.
He visits the school every year and brings two very clever helpers, named Piet. The children from 4 to 8 get a present. The older children make something for eachother from cardboard, plaster or whatever. They hide a present in it and make a poem for eachother.
I know it looks and sounds very ridiculous, but we all have great fun!!
Just look at the video and be amazed.

FLORIS V , FAMOUS DUTCH KNIGHT
Our knight paid a visit to our school and showed everyone how to put on his armour
Children had to help him, because his knight's page wasn't with him.They asked him a lot of questions in Dutch, he could not answer them in English. He told us he could talk Old Dutch and Latin, but he never had to learn English.
