Project meeting in Portugal

Our project team members from Lithuania, Estonia, Island, Tyrkey and Italy travelled to Portugal Fundao to the first project meeting.
We have visited schools and kindergartens. We had meeting in Town Hall.
First project meeting was interesting: all countries presented their schools and showed their puppets. So main characters of our puppet shows got acquainted:
Jón from Island
Jussike from Estonia
Joãozinho from Portugal
Can from Turkey
Jonukas from Lithuania
Giovanni from Italy - these are Johnny´s equivalent names in our partners´languages.
Puppets were very differently made and we got lot of ideas how to make puppets. Lithuanians surprised us with very lovely proffessional puppet show. Portugese had made nice stage-suitcase for puppet-theatre.
So every participants got very enthusiastic. Thanks to everybody for well done homework with your puppets!

Now the sihtseeings and nice sunshine are waiting for us outside in Fundaõ and neighbourhood.

Portugal posting











We finished Primary school last year therefore we are now attending the first year of Middle school that is the 5th Grade. There are five classes in the 5th Grade, we are 5ºA Class. Our school is quite big.




We are also working on "Johnny's Seven Friends" project. Our teachers told us that there are other schools from five other different countries working on this project too, isn't that interesting? These countries are Estonia, Lithuania, Iceland, Turkey and Italy. But where are these countries? What language do they speak? What are the flags like? ... so many questions to be answered.




We became so excited about these countries that we divided ourselves into six different groups and each group is working on a country including Portugal. We are even making some lovely powerPoints about each country. Our Maths and Portuguese teachers taught us how to make powerPoints.

News from Portugal


We are a group of pupils of age five and we are attending our last year in Porta Aberta kindergarten.

Last Monday, 27th October, we started our puppet workshop where we are going to learn how to make puppets for our new project called "Johnny's Seven Friends".

An Art and Craft teacher from the main school came to our class and talked about one of the characters of this project whose name is "Joãozinha", Johnny in English. We were really excited and anxious to start making our puppet but before making it we had to draw the different parts of Johnny's body.

THE POCKET THEATRE






On 29th of September we got a puppet theater in Korpuskóli. It was The pocket theater than came and showed us the Saga of Egil. It was performed for kids in 4th to 7th grade and they really enjoyed it.

THE POCKET THEATRE was founded in 1984 by Hallveig Thorlacius with the purpose of telling old Icelandic stories she loved listening to as a child in her grandmother´s kitchen. Iceland has always been in the role of the storyteller in Europe, ever since the first settlers came sailing from Norway in the Viking Age. Modern audiences prefer to see stories, so Hallveig has developed her own style of storytelling - with puppets. She invites us to enter the story with her. She plays for us and with us at the same time. This combination has captured a steadily growing audience.

THE POCKET THEATRE is based in Reykjavík and has travelled all over Iceland, to Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Greenland, the Faroe Islands, England, Slovenia, China, Canada and USA. Hallveig can perform in Icelandic, English, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, German, French or Russia. This performance is the Saga of Egil in a nutshell - a mixture of puppet- clown- shadow- and storytelling-theatre for ages 6-106.By taking on the role of the clown who is always non-judgmental the storyteller can approach this bloody Viking story from an unexpected angle.
