St. Nikolaus and Christmas in Europe


During the last project meeting in Aalst I got to know the Belgien tradition of celebrating the feasts of St. Martin and St. Nikolaus. It is very different to the Bavaria tradition, so I bought a book for children in Aalst about „Sinterklaasje“ and the Belgien legende of St. Nikolaus.
In my 3. class, we red the Belgien story of „Sinterklaasje“ and continued with a project of „Celebrating Christmas and St. Nikolaus in different parts of Europe and North America“.We worked about 2 weeks in the lessons of German, History, Arts  education and Music education.
Here are some pictures of the children, working in groups.
