Poland - Ewa

﻿ Women's Day  is an annual holiday celebrated on March 8. In Poland Women's Day was celebrated only after the Second World War. On that day, during the communist regime, women in their workplaces received whishes and gifts. Today 8 March is celebrated in a much more modest manner and is mainly targeted at young women. Nevertheless every woman has reasons for great joy on this day. They are often honoured by getting gifts and flowers. Men tend to be more understanding that day. In our schoold boys from the Little Goverment visited younger class. They wished all the best to a teacher and gave sweets to girls. 

Welcome Spring

In Poland we greet spring on March 21 and dive away winter by drowning or burning Marzanna. It's a dummy filled with straw, wrapped in white cloth, adorned with beads and ribbons which is later set on fire or thrown into the water. Today, because of enviroment protection, we do it with organic materials. The old rite of drowning Marzanna became a children's play. First day of spring in our school were organised by self-goverments of classes I-III and IV-VI. This year it was "A day of pigtail in Rainbow Land". Students came in clothes of colour they drawn earlier and participated in a contest for the greatest number of braided pigtails. There was also a spring song contest and a living history lesson.
