Pancake Day at school
Κατηγορία 1st Primary School of Akrata, Culture, Projects, projects 2011-2012, Teacher's Announcements , στις 29 Φεβρουαρίου 2012 από Lenia KOn February 21st it was Shrove Tuesday in the UK. In order to learn more about this special day -the last before Lent- and compare it to the Greek customs, class ST’ had a special pancake day lesson on Friday 24th.
It was a pancake extravaganza!
Class ST’ worked overtime!
They wrote a pancake recipe, solved a Shrove Tuesday quiz, prepared tons of pancake batter, cooked pancakes, presented a short theatrical play, organized a pancake race for the whole school to compete at and drew the winners’ prizes: wooden spatulas.
The theatrical play was very interesting and fun and the pancake race was absolutely hilarious! All classes, the kindergarten, AND the teachers took part!
I don’t need to tell you about the pancakes…they were delish! Yummy!!!
It was an amazing day and everyone had lots of fun thanks to class ST’ !
Well done, class ST!
It was a day to remember!

Shrove Tuesday
Κατηγορία Culture, Great Britain, Teacher's Announcements , στις 21 Φεβρουαρίου 2012 από Lenia KToday it’s Shrove Tuesday in England. It’s the last day before Lent and it always falls 47 days before Easter.
Shrove Tuesday is also called pancake day.
Do you know why?
Because everyone eats pancakes!
Do you like pancakes?
During Lent, people are not allowed to eat eggs or milk.Shrove Tuesday is the last day that they are allowed to eat them, so they make pancakes!
In many places in England there are pancakes races on pancake day.The most famous is Olney Pancake Race.
Women wear their aprons and scarves and they run to the church. But they have a pan with a pancake in their hands.
The winner is the woman who can run AND toss the pancake THREE TIMES!
It’s so fun!
Nowadays men also take part in this traditional event.
If you would like to see some pancake race videos, click here.
Since it’s such a fun and tasty custom, we’ll have a Pancake Day at school this Friday.
We’ll make pancakes and there will be some serious pancake racing in our schoolyard !!!
Soooooooooooooo…….are you ready?
On your marks…get set…GO!
The Globe Theatre
Κατηγορία Culture, Great Britain, London, Shakespeare, Video , στις 18 Μαΐου 2011 από Lenia K
Shakespeare’s Globe, London
The Globe Theatre was a theatre in London associated with William Shakespeare. It was built in 1599 by Shakespeare’s playing company, the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, and was destroyed by fire on 29 June 1613. A second Globe Theatre was built on the same site by June 1614 and closed in 1642.
A modern reconstruction of the Globe, named “Shakespeare’s Globe“, opened in 1997 approximately 230 metres from the site of the original theatre. (info via this site)
William Shakespeare ( 1564-1616)
Stratford- upon- Avon: Shakespeare’s birthplace
This is a very interesting video about the Globe. You can see the theater from the inside.
And this is the trailer of the film ‘Shakespeare in Love’, which won many Oscar awards. It is about young Shakespeare and his first great love. It’s an exciting movie with beautiful costumes, humor and excellent performances!
Pace Egg Plays
Κατηγορία Culture, Video , στις 21 Απριλίου 2011 από Lenia KThe Pace Egg Plays are traditional village plays, with a rebirth theme, in which St George smites all challengers and the fool, Toss Pot, rejoices. The drama takes the form of a combat between the hero and villain, in which the hero is killed and brought to life, often by a quack doctor.
The plays take place in England during Easter, indeed the word ‘Pace’ comes from the old English word ‘pasch’ literally meaning ‘Easter’. They are a tradition that was once widespread throughout England, but is now only practiced in a few areas, particularly Lancashire and West Yorkshire.
Many Pace Egg plays died out after the Great War, when many of the men who took part in them were killed in action. The Bury Pace Eggers were revived in 1969, and still perform in pubs and square around the town and surrounding villages over the Easter weekend. (From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pace_Egg_play)
