Visit to Italy

In March 2007 Mrs Buchanan, Mrs Brown and Miss Young went to Italy as part of a Comenius visit. They met with Comenius partners from Italy, Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic. Everyone had a fantastic trip and spent time visiting Italian schools, meeting pupils and staff, sightseeing in Rome, Assisi and Perugia and taking part in some local traditions such as cheese throwing!

Here are a few photographs from our trip.

Citizenship Poem

Here is a poem written by the children in Italy. It was read to the teachers who visited during the Comenius trip in March 2007.

In English
We are Italian and you are Czech
We are Italian and you are Austrian
We are Italian and you are Scottish
We are Italian and you are German
But we are
ALL EUROPEAN
We are European and you are African
We are European and you are Asian
We are European and you are Australian
But we are all CITIZENS
of the same WORLD


In Italian
Ode al COMENIUS
Noi siamo Italiani e voi siete Cechi
Noi siamo Italiani e voi siete Austriaci
Noi siamo Italiani e voi siete Scozzesi
Noi siamo Italiani e voi siete Tedeschi
Ma
noi siamo
TUTTI EUROPEI
Noi siamo Europei e voi siete Africani
Noi siamo Europei e voi siete Asiatici
Noi siamo Europei e voi siete Australiani
Noi siamo Europei e voi siete Americani
Ma
noi siamo tutti
CITTADINI
Dello stesso
MONDO

Look After Our Earth

Primary 5 have been learning a song about how pollution has damaged our Earth.
Please look after our World.

Listen to our song.

The captain of the rocket ship said, "Come over here
I’ve got a little job for you there’s nothing to fear.
I want you out in space, please do it for me,
And come back in and tell me what you see, what you see, what you see, what you see".

I started to put on my suit, I pulled up the zip
To tell the truth I didn’t want to jump from that ship.
I swung a cylinder of air behind like a sack
I jumped out into outer space without looking back, looking back, looking back.

The first thing there below me was my own spinning world,
Surrounded by polluted smoke that billowed and curled.
And I could see the blackened place where the forests had been.
I cried out, "This is dreadful! Tell me what does it mean, does it mean, does it mean".

The captain of rocket said, “for what it is worth,
I think you may have learnt a lot concerning your Earth.
You simply can’t go on this way just year after year.
Now let’s go back and shout our message out loud and clear, loud and clear, loud and clear".
Hey wake up!
