Happy Easter

2008-03-17T21:42:00.007+01:00

Hi friends!

We have continued with our afternoon extracurricular meetings to proceed with our work.
Two weeks ago we also spent a wonderful afternoon at Castel del Monte, a nice sight a few kilometres from Bari; we took photographs to work on.
It's a first step to the next walking tour in November 2008 ... the castle is extremely interesting, with a lot of Maths mysteries and unusual things to discover. It was one of the many castles of the emperor Federic of Swaben.
The Apulian countryside in spring, the fragrant breeze and the lovely colours remind visitors of sunny holidays in the South of Italy.
We wish you all a Happy Easter.

Pajarita from Alhambra

2007-11-27T14:35:00.000+01:00

In Spanish, a pajarita is a little female or hen bird.

One of the most common mosaics found in the Alhambra palaces in Granada designed by the Nazari Court during the XIIIth and XIVth centuries, is that known as the Nazari bird.

This geometric pattern was used during our workshop in the glass museum in Alcorcon on wednesday 14 november 2007.

Today pajarita forms the symbol of the paperfolding association in Spain.

Pattern walk in Alcorcon

2007-11-15T13:50:00.000+01:00

Hello all,

this morning we had a nice pattern walk in the neighbourhood of the school, organised by the pupils. I didn't sleep well last night, had a lousy breakfast, but the sun was shining and the pupils were very friendly. Luckily in the school we could buy a decent sandwich and hot chocolate.
We did a tour in the different class rooms (geographys, french language, physics, chemistry, class for disabled pupils, ...)
But this afternoon we will leave to visit one of the most beautiful places in Spain: L'Alhambra.
We hope to see a lot of Arabic patterns there¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ (This is the only exclamation mark on this rotten qwerty Spanish keyboard)

Greetings from Spain,

Peter

Team from Tongeren

The Belgian Student Team from Tongeren for the Comenius project "Partners in Patterns" invites everybody involved with this project to our forum located on our website www.partnersinpatterns.eu.tt
(This should become www.partnersinpatterns.com in the future).

The purpose of this forum is to unite everybody involved, communicate about the project and to make friends with people from the other participating countries. We hope that this forum will become the main communication source, including for the teachers. We hope to see you soon in our forum.

Mme Lybaert had a question not related to the comenius project: how do you say "happy new year" in Spanish, Swedish, Irish and Italian? She wants to know this because our school wants to put that on this years new year-cards.

Yours sincerely the Belgian Student Team from Tongeren

The story goes on !!

It all started in Sweden for us. My first pattern pictures were taken during a factory (of garden furniture) visit with students.
One of them you can see here.

Enjoy the pattern festival.

The students in Sint-Donatus Merchtem (Belgium) are briefed regarding the postcard competition. We hope the other countries have started also.
