ODKRYWANIE VI CUDU REGIONU

We started the work on the next wonder at the

teachers’ meeting. We decided on the next steps and

assigned the tasks.

We started the work, following our plan. Class IIB visited the

Brama Chełmińska Muzeum to see the exhibition and to meet a

professional photographer, Andrzej Iwanowski. He comes from

Brodnica and he presents the beauty of our area and its nature in

his photographs.

Next, classes II b, Ic and Ib worked on the subject „Famous per-

son”. They created posters and other materials and prepared a

list of nominees to this title in our region.

The Winner Piotr Grążawski

Famous people from Brodnica

We also created a board, showing the stu-

dents’ and teachers’ work, at our school.

The above mentioned classes also took part in a meeting

with sailors, who worked on a ship called Brodnica. The

sailors talked about their work on the ship and how they

could popularize our region all around the world. Children

also interviewed these interesting people. The meeting

was organized by the project coordinator and the Town

Library.

An article about this event was prepared for the local

newspaper and the local information websites.

Next, the students took part in another meeting, this

time with Mr Piotr Grążawski, who is the author of

many legends about Brodnica and our region. He gave

an interesting talk about his work. The meeting was or-

ganized at our school.

After all these experiences, the students voted on-line

and chose the most interesting person of the region.

The winner was Piotr Grążawski.

Cyprus

Selecting the most important person of our region was also a difficult task as the candidates were plenty. Stu-dents from the classes 6A and 6B made a research on their own to find out important persons and they prepared posters in order to demonstrate their work. The pop singer Anna Vissi, the singer Loucas Yiorkas, the teacher and founder of the local library Yiangos Konstantinides and the local poet Andreas Mappouras were among the candidates. Students after voting chose the local poet An-dreas Mappouras as the most important person. They were thrilled by his life as he was a very poor man with many children and his only occupation was to go to festi-vals and local feasts in order to sell his poems.

The Winner Andreas Mappouras

Born in Aradippou in 1918. He arrived until the fifth grade and thrown into the struggle for survival and doing various jobs such as shepherd, builder, laborer in the quarries and marmaradika of Aradippou. His poems were inspired by severe human accidents that was reading in newspapers but he also wrote love poems and some di-dactic ones giving advices to younger peo-ple, to parents and to all the world. The po-ems commenting reality and current events [murders, accidents, holy miracles, erotic stories about life and death of Makarios, reli-gious or political issues, for the match and the heroes of EOKA, the refugees, the anti-occupation struggle ], and international events [the first astronaut, the murder of P. Kennedy] There is a record of 124 poems from 1848 to 1982, while many anecdotal come to light archival studies.

He took part in many festivals of the Flood in Larnaca and elsewhere and was awarded repeatedly. He holds the record of most par-ticipations in all kinds of festival competi-tions

Andreas Mappouras was honored in 1983 by the Municipality of Larnaca. Also honored by the birthplace of Aradippou, political party AKEL and various Cypriot cultural institutions. He died on March 17, 1997, leaving behind valuable work, part of which remains unpublished. We invited his son and daugh-ter to visit the school and stu-dents showed a powerpoint presentation about his life. His son is a local singer of folk mu-sic and he sang some of his poems. The whole ceremony was very touching and senti-mental for all as we all remem-bered the poet and his work. A video about Cyprus 6

Turkey — the 6th mobility

We, as Emek Primary School, are very glad to our

partners at our town between 21st and 26th March. We

hope all friend have left Turkey with good memories

because they have left their marks at every corner of our

school with their participation, energy, smiling faces,

communication with the whole school and very precious

gifts for all of us.

All the students have good memories about your

participation at our meeting. They have tried to know you

and your culture and I am sure you have broadened their

horizons and contributed to them in some ways.

Ankara and Cappodocia visits were fascinating and very

enjoyable with you and we really would like to host you

again whenever you want for other culture visits aroud our

region.

We watched the sunset together in Salt Lake and we

warmed each other with our nice chat and hot Turkish tea.

At our school, the demonstrations of our partners were

great: they painted flags, showed their traditional folk

dance, made a quiz show, made a paper flower and so

on. The traditional Turkish art EBRU and traditional game

MANGALA were much better with our partners.
