Oleme Kadrina Keskkooli 10.-11. klassi õpilased, kes on valinud oma valikaineks rahvusvahelise projektitöö. Osaleme koos Türgi, Portugali, Itaalia ja Poolaga rahvusvahelises Comeniuse projektis "Top school calendar events". See blogi kajastabki meie iganädalasi tunde ja ettevõtmisi ning annab aimu kõigest millega me sel raskel kuid põneval teel tegeleme.
A very Happy New Year to all of you and our project!
We have had quite long holidays and maybe some of you feel like doing something for the project - so I have something interesting for you.
Hatice, the Turkish teacher, has sent a draft of the dictionary we are going to compile for the project. They have written the Turkish and English part and now each country has to fill in their part of the dictionary. As the number of the words is rather impressive, I have divided it between all the students in the project and every one of you gets 60 - 61 words to translate into Estonian. Here is the link to the dictionary. http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Akmdjjk7XDTJdGw0OXZqTjc4V2dTb0FieGkyeURna2c&hl=en
You can edit it right there. Be sure you save it! Here is how I have divided the words. Hanna 1-61 Kristiine 62- 122 Meigrit 123- 183 Riin 184-244 Maarja R 245- 305 Maarja S 306 - 366 Siim 367 - 427 Kärol 428- 488 Mari 489 - 549 Aili 550- 610 Jürgen 611- 670 Liis 671- 730 Maris 731- 790 Susanna 791 - 850 Siret 851- 910 Koit Romet 911 - 971 Grete 972 - 1032 Birgit 1033 - 1093 Triinu 1094 - 1154 Laura 1155 - 1215 Marje 1216 - 1276 Robert 1277 - 1337 Peeter 1338 - 1398 Taavi 1399 - 1459 Siiri 1460 - 1520 Jaak 1520 - 1581
I probably made a mistake with my calculations, so - everyone is welcome to translate the last part - numbers!
We are taking 6 students to Estonia. By the way these are their names ( you'll read their surname first) : Canè Alessandro D’Alessandro Salvatore ( savio_18@hotmail.it) Mazza Emmanuel ( dragon_1992@libero.it) Territo Ivan (fhyrel@hotmail.it) I'm not too sure about this address Smedescu Bogdan ( bogdansmedescu@gmail.com) Rezgui Mohamed (rez_mohamed@hotmail.it) They are all boys, the oldest one is Alessandro Canè who is 20 years old. ( I hope it's ok for you).
On 9th December, our school had a Christmas Day. Firstly, many students came to school dressed up as dwarfs. Most younger students were wearing red clothes and dwarf hats. Some even played little Santas. It was also popular with older students to dress up as dwarfs.
Secondly, we had a Christmas fair. Everyone, who had something to sell, could sell these things to other students or even teachers. There were mostly goods, which students had baked specially for the fair, but there were also some small things. About 25 students had something to sell. When we had breaks from lessons, we could visit the fair, so it wasn’t during the lessons. It was very difficult to move between the stalls at the fair, beacause there were too many students, who wanted to buy or sell something. So, when we walked through the school, we could see different students dressed like dwarfs and visiting the fair. I think that day was full of joy and happiness.
One of the remarkable things, which is worth mentioning, was a donation box. It was for Narva Youth Centre. Everyone, who put some money in it, helped a little bit those children, who do not have so good living conditions in Narva. I think, it was very sweet and I heard that our school donated a lot to this centre.
In our school there was a week dedicated to Turkey, from 23rd to 27th November. It was an interesting and educative event. Due to this different activities were held.
The purpose of the week was to introduce Turkey and it`s culture to all the students in our school. During the breaks the school radio played captivating Turkish music. Most of the students enjoyed it and became more interested in Turkey and its culture.
The members of the Comenius international project, visited each form's class teacher`s lessons and introduced Turkish culture, traditions and the local people in this unique country. We talked about the basic information, about the country`s recent history, extremely friendly people, Turkish religion , Atatürk aka Mustafa Kemal Atatürk . It was a good experience for all of us, who had to talk in front of the class. Those who had an opportunity to talk to the younger forms, where lucky because youngsters knew less about Turkey and were not able to ask difficult questions. At the end of the lessons the quiz was carried out. This way we had a chance to see how well the students had been listening and also how much they knew themselves. The winner of the school was Kristjan Pulk. Turkish Embassy had supported us with the awards for the winners.Now the students who visited the classes and made a research about Turkey are waiting for the feedback from the teachers and are hoping that they managed well. At elementary school we didn`t carry out the quiz, but the teachers told them a Turkish fairy tale. From Tuesday till Friday the labels with Turkish phrases were seen on the walls of the school.
Also, there were some pictures about the trip to Turkey on the wall in the student`s corner, so, every student had a chance to see the pictures themselves.
The students, who had a great opportunity to visit Turkey and some of the students who are also in this project, made a power point presentation about their trip and talked about it to the secondary school students on Friday. During this thematic event the secondary school had a chance to see Turkish women`s traditional clothes (teacher Merike Sikk on the picture) and also belly dance.
Belly dancers were our school students, who had prepared a few Turkish dances. We aslo had a guest from the Turkish Embassy.
Özgür Cakar (on the picture with the headmaster Arvo Pani) said that he was pleasantly surprised to see our knowledge about Turkey. During this gathering we also congratulated the winners of the quiz from every class. We all think that this week, dedicated to Turkey, went well, because the main purpose was achieved- students got more interested in Turkey and got rid of prejudices.
Firstly, I would like to explain, why this blog entry is in English. We decided to start writing here also in English, as the project page is in English and so we don't have to do all the work twice. Last week, we had a Turkish week at our school and soon Laura and Hanna are going to write about it as well. Generally, all the students were pleased with the week. We also had 1 guest, Özgür Cakar, who is the first secretary of the Turkish Embassy. He was really surprised to see how much we knew and what we had done for the week. All in all, we didn't have very much time to discuss about the week in the class, because the Turkish Embassy had asked us to a little concert and reception. Some of us accepted the opportunity to experience something extraordinary. The concert and recieption took place in the house of the Brotherhood of Black Heads. The whole hall was full of people and there were even Arnold and Ingrid Rüütel. At the concert there were 2 Turkish musicians - Ahmet Kanneci, who played the guitar and Ekrem Öztan, who played the clarinet. The sound of the duo was really nice and sometimes even a bit hypnotic. It seemed that the audience enjoyed them as well, as the applause seemed to be endless. Finally, when the concert ended, there was a little reception. Unfortunately the room was a bit too small for such a big crowd. We had an opportunity to taste some Turkish snacks as well, but as first of them contained raw fish, then we( students) were not very fond of it. Here is also a little video of the duo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpManr_Sq5M
I am quite sure, that all the people who chose to attend the event, were very satisfied with it. Big thanks to the Turkish Embassy, who gave us such a great opportunity and who also helped us a lot with the Turkish week. :)
Vabandan siis minagi oma hilinemise pärast. Kolmapäeval 28.10.2009 võtsime ette reisi Hataysse, linna, kus arvatavasti kristlus alguse sai ja levima hakkas ( seal pesitseb esimene ristiusu kirik, mis siiamaani seisab ) . Nii, päev algas nagu tavaliselt Türgis - kooliliinid võtsid meid maja eest peale ning viisid kooli. Kooli jõudes oli nagu tavaline koolipäev, ootasime, kuni õpetajad meiega liituvad, kuid neid ei tulnud ega tulnud. Selle peale otsustasime klassidesse minna, kus asi vägagi põnevaks muutus. Järsku avastasime endi ümbert kümneid türklasi, kes kõik vägagi meiega suhtlemisest huvitatud olid. Peaks siinkohal ka ära mainima, et me saime vist kõik oma egodele paar paid, vähemale mina pole elusees nii palju komplimente saanud, kui see päev sain :) Pärast tundi läksime kooli söökla-vahetunnipidamisekohta, kus oli peasissekäik ja puhvet :D, ise võite otsustada, mis koht see oli. Ühesõnaga otsustasin kohvi osta. Pärast kohvi kätte saamist oli meil jube kiire ning me pidime ruttama, jõin kiiruga kohvi, et ruttu ära minna, kui ka selle aja peale jõudis mulle mesilasparv ümber tekkida. Natuke naljakas, kuid ääretult positiivne, et inimesed nii uudishimulikud ning julged on, täielik vastand eesti inimestele, vähemalt see hetk tundus nii. Bussi jõudes valisime omale kõik kohad ning hakkasime liikuma, itaalia poisid olid ka, kes teadu pärast polnud just kõige väiksemad, kuid nemad pärast esimest peatust otsustasid direktori väikese autoga minna - pärast, kohale jõudes Mattia rääkis mulle, et see oli suur viga, kuna kõige suurem poiss võttis selles 3 kohalistes autos kahe inimese koha, mis osutus äärmiselt ebamugavaks. Sõit oli pikk ja tüütu, kuid kohale jõudes läksime kohe sööma, mis osutus väga naljakaks. Söögi sai iseteenindusega ja seal sai vabalt võtta oma maitse järgi ka pipart. Mõtlesin siis, et prooviks ära - suu õhetas ja silmad jooksid vett ( õnneks polnud ma ainuke ning sellest zestist sai palju huumorit). Lõpuks olid kõigil tuleleegid suus, kuid elamus missugune. Pärast läksime aeda teed jooma, kus kõik said valida omale, mis nende soov oli. Seal tegime ka palju pilte, nagu alati ( itaallastele, portugaallastele ja ka türklastele oli piltide tegemine õudselt südamelähedane ja mina, kui nullfotogeenne inimene sain seal kõvasti praktikat ). Siis algas linna tuur. Esimene koht mida me külastasime oli mossee, kus puhkasid kaks Jeesuse abilist ( külastasime ka nende hauda ), seal oli ka parajasti palveaeg, mida sai kaeda. Sisenedes pidi tütarlastel olema pea kaetud ning sisenema pidi ilma jalanõudeta. Arutlesime seal ka usu vajalikkusest ning mõjust inimesele ning ühiskonnale, kuid selle vestluse jätaks siiski omateada, kuna mõnele võib see tibake ebameeldivust tekitada..Järgmiseks tuli siis esimene kristluse kirik, mis oli kalju sisse tehtud. Peab tõdema, et suveniiri koht kiriku jalamil pakkus suuremat huvi..kuid kirik ise oli huvitav( küll väga algeline ja väike, kuid kindlasti suur kultuuriline pärand).Kirikus käidud suundusime muuseumi, mis osutus vägagi harivaks ning huvitavaks. Sissejõudes, kohe esimene ruum oli väga muljet avaldav, ajalooliselt väga vajalik, seal oli kirst ning selle terve sisu ning kõik oli säilinud. Muuseum ise koosnes tükkidest kirikutest ning hoonetest ( vist Rooma ajast ), mis oli kokku pandud üliväikestest tükkidest. Minule pakkus hämmingut, kui palju vaeva nendega nägema pidi ning selle aja tehnikat jättis see vägagi müstilise mulje. Pärast muuseumi võtsime tee kuhugi kohta, mis minule jäi kahtlaseks, miks me sinna läksime.. Seal oli ääretult ilus restoran, kus kõrval kalad- ja pardid ujusid. Seal oli ka suveniiri koht, mis oli väga humoorikas, sealt võis leida 20 aasta vanustest kokakooladest, kuni Batmani mudeliteni välja. Sellega seoses hakkasgi päev otsa saama, ees oli veel kuulus Hatay magustoit, mis oli väga huvitav. Maitse oli hea ning omapärane. Tagasisõit oli pikk, kuid see läks kõvasti kiiremini, kuna sain ühe itaalia poisiga hästi jutule, muljetasime Türgist ning ka Eestist ja Itaaliast. Euroopa riigid kõik - kultuuriliselt tundus tema jutu põhjal kultuuriline vahe väiksem, kui vahe Türgiga. Sõit tagasi oli pikk, kuid kindlasti tasus ära ning nüüd on pagasis nii mõnigi teadmine juures ja leidsin omale ka paar välismaist sõpra, kellega siiamaani õhtuti vestlen :)
Neljapäev Türgis (29.10.2009) Vabandan hilinemise pärast ka. 29. oktoober oli seal nö iseseisvuspäev - 1923. aastal sai Türgist vabariik. Hommikul kogunesime õpetajate hotellis ning pidime minema vaatama ..mm.. ei tea, kuidas nimetada..rongkäiku? kontserti? festivali? Tänavatel oli päris palju rahvast, ent silma jäid mitmed rahvariietes mehed. Samuti võis märgata sõjaväelasi, hästi palju oli ka poliseinikke ning kotidki otsiti paari kohas läbi. Ent kuna sadas vihma (isegi mitte väga hullusti, minu arvates), läksime edasi kuhugi spordihoonesse, suurde saali. Muide, tänevatel oli väga-väga palju lippe, spordisaal oli seest kaunistatud erinevates suurustes Türgi lippudega. Spordisaalis oli igat kooli esindamas õpilane, kes hoidis kooli lippu, kokku oli neid mitukümmend. Seejärel kuulasime kõnesid - kõigepealt linnapea ning seejärel mõned koolipõilased. Meie kooli esindaja luges üsna emotsionaalselt ühe luuletuse, see peaks olema ka videolindil. Pärast kõnesid oli tublide sportlaste autasustamine - kaks väikeste poiste jalgpallivõistkonda said medalid ja karika. Lõpuks saime näha Türgi rahvatantsu ning oligi kõik. Seejärel sõitsime linnast välja Peugeot' esindusse, sööma. Esmalt saime vaadata autosid (:D) ning järgnes tee joomine, mis oli umbes tunniajase ootamise sisustamiseks. Saime Peugeot' pastakad ja võtmehoidjad endla kingituseks. Siis sõime Peugeot' sööklas ning läksime koju tagasi.
Arutasime Türgi päeva ettevalmistusi, jagasime ideid ja ülesandeid. Kuna kõik projektitöö õpilased viivad läbi klassijuhatajatunni ühes põhikooli klassis, pakun veel infoks ühe netist leitud slaidishow Türgi kohta - minu arust väga hästi tehtud audioprogramm - lülitage kõlarid ka sisse ja kuulake!
See oli meil esimese veerandi viimane kokkusaamine ning õpetajal ei olnud midagi olulist plaanitud. Sel tunnil mõtlesime me küsimusi, mida võiksid Türki sõitvad õpilased küsida inimestelt, kellega nad seal kohtuvad. Ettekandmisele tuli ka viimane Türgit puudutav ettekanne, mis käsitles Türgi ja Euroopa Liidu suhteid ning Türgi emigratsioonipoliitikat. Seda esitlust saab näha siit:
