ADVENT 2009

Az adventi időszak eljövetelén rövid ünnepséget tartottunk. Az iskola előcsarnokát feldiszítettük, adventi naptár  készült a diákok munkáiból. Az alsó tagozatosok rajzaiból kiállítás nyílt a középső épület folyosóján. Közös éneklésssel köszöntöttük a tél legszebb időszakát.

On the 1st December all the pupils celebrated the beginning of the advent period. We decorated the main hall. Our advent calendar was made and hung up.
There is an exhibition of winter drawings of the pupils in one of the buildings of our school. We sang Christmas carols together in Hungarian, English, German and French.

Dance with cushions

Hold a cushion in front of you.
Start dancing clockwise forming a circle.
Steps: quick-quick-slow - first: right leg, second: left leg, third: right leg, then repeat the steps with: left leg-right leg-left leg.
Dance this rhythm through one and half times. (Once through the tune and halfway through again.)
Turn towards the middle of the circle. Lower your cushion next to you with your right hand, while you take your partner’s cushion (who is on your left) with your left hand.
Start to the right with slow-slow steps, then dance right –left-right-on the spot (in one place).
Repeat the same rhythm to the left: slow-slow (left-right), then quick-quick-slow (left-right-left). Dance these steps once through the tune and halfway through again.
Turn to each other. The cushion is in front of you again. Dance slow-slow (right-left).
Half way through the tune pass your cushion to your partner while you take her cushion. Repeat this until the music stops.

Father Christmas (on 6th December), little Jesus (on 24th December)brings the presents in our country.

Santa brings the presents at night and puts sweets and chocolate in clean boots in the windows. Baby Jesus leaves the presents in the afternoon while children go out to play or walk. We do not have stockings, the presents go under the Christmas tree.
6.-What do you eat on Christmas?
We prepare the following dishes for Christmas: fish soup, a special cake called 'beigli' which is filled with poppy seed or walnut, stuffed cabbage or turkey.
7. - Can you send us your favourite Christmas song?(video)
Kis karácsony, nagy karácsony,
Kisült-e már a kalácsom?
Ha kisült már, ide véle,
Hadd egyem meg melegében.






8, -Do you make Advent calendars?

Yes, we have an Advent or Christmas calendar, so we count down the days from the 1st December with the help of little gifts. We also make an advent wreath.

We like reading, helping in the kitchen, snowboarding, skiing, skating , going to
a spa, riding a horse, playing boardgames with friends or family.

Our holiday starts on 21st December and we go back to school on the 5th January
11.-What’s your favourite present?
For 6 year-old children board-games, soft toys and toy cars are the favourite presents. Many 7 year- old children got DVDs and board-games, 8 and 9 year- old ones received lego blocks, books, PS games, microscopes, watches or puzzles .
12.-On which day and at what time do you open your presents?
We open our Christmas presents on 24th December, usually late in the afternoon before having Christmas dinner. It is not Father Christmas or Santa who brings the presents. It is Baby Jesus. St Nikolas or Santa visit Hungarian children on the 6th December. On 5th December everybody polishes their boots and puts them on the window-sill. If you have been good, Santa will leave a bag filled with chocolate in your boots. His helpers are not the elves. He is accompanied by buffers ("krampuszok"). They give birch to naughty children. You can often meet Santa in the streets on 6th December giving out nicely wrapped sweets (szaloncukor)

Yes, we always make gingerbread (mézeskalács). We can decorate the Christmas tree with these little cakes. Another typical cake is „beigli” . It is filled with walnuts or poppy seed and the cake is rolled up.














14.-What food do you eat at Christmas ?

On Christmas Eve we usually have fish soup made of carp, breaded carp, roast chicken, some families have turkey.
15.-Do you do Christmas activities at school?
Yes, we do. We invite parents to see a nativity play acted our by children. ("Betlehemezés"see video)


"Regölés" is also an old tradition, which can also be seen on our Christmas party. In the old times young boys went from house to house chanting and singing and wishing good health, good crops, richness to each member of the family. In return they were given something to eat.





At the school party our choir always sing some nice Christmas carols.
Every year we also invite all the children from Egry kindergarten to see a puppet show about the birth of Jesus and the three wise men. We sing them Christmas songs in German, French and English.
