Estonia-Arukula Kindergarten Rukkilill – St.Michael’s day in Arukyla Kindergarten

On the 29th of September we celebrated St. Michael’s day in the kindergarten with 11 groups. All events were held outdoors. In Estonian folklore the meaning of this day is that all the crop and vegetables should be picked up for that day and farmers are getting ready for long cold winter. Our teachers made a thematic perfomance for this day (russian folk tale “Turnip”). Children got some new knowledge about vegetables and how healthy is food made of vegetables.

We also opened an exposition where funny vegetables and sculptures made of vegetables and other natural materials was presented in our outdoor classroom. All masterpieces were made by children and their families. Also we tasted different vegetables. It was a funny and healthy day !
