Theme Day 1 in Hungary

In this section of the project our choosen hero is TOLDI MIKLÓS who was the knight of the king in the 14th century. He is remembered as a legendary strong hero in Hungarian folklore. Hungarian poet János ARANY based his famous Toldi trilogy on his legend.

Virtual meeting France - Hungary. 

Thursday, December 9, in the class, we met Hungarian students and their teacher by videoconference. We (the CM1s) with the CE1s presented the character in English: Gavroche. We sang "It's the fault of  Voltaire”, which our hero sang when he went to fight.

The Huns and the Maguyars
The Hungarian pupils presented a story in pictures explaining the origin of Hungary. We then shared a Christmas drawing on our digital whiteboard.

UK - Virtual meeting with Greece and Spain

Our chosen hero for this chapter is Guy Fawkes. When we had our virtual meeting with the children in Greece and Spain we told the story of Guy Fawkes and shared with them a traditional poem. I have attached the words for the poem below...

Remember, remember, the 5th of November,

Gunpowder, treason and plot.

I see no reason

Why gunpowder treason

Should ever be forgot.

Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, 'twas his intent

To blow up the King and the Parliament

Three score barrels of powder below

Poor old England to overthrow

By God's providence he was catch'd

With a dark lantern and burning match

Holler boys, holler boys, let the bells ring

Holler boys, holler boys

God save the King!
