The Project partners from the different countries paid a visit to the town’s public kindergarten which is called “Porta Aberta”. They were welcomed by the children who sang some Portuguese traditional songs and they were given a small handmade basket full of products from this part of Portugal – Fundão.They were able to see some of the activities that the children in the four different classrooms were doing and the children were excited to meet these teachers from the different countries in Europe.
In November, it is traditional in Portugal, for people to get together to make a fire outdoors to roast chestnuts. After they are roasted people eat them and play tricks on each other by rubbing their hands on each other’s faces as their hands are covered with ashes from pilling the chestnuts. Everyone enjoy the fun and the lovely soft chestnuts. This tradition is known as “Magusto”.So on November 11th both Porta Aberta Kindergarden and Srª Conceição Primary School were together to make a huge fire to roast hundreds of chestnuts which were then eaten by the students, teachers and school helpers. Everyone had a great time!
