POLISH PARTNER ENGLISH CAMP 

Report on the English Camp in Poland

 On 6 of June 2017 Zespol Szkol Ogolnoksztalcacych no. 3 in Katowice prepared an English Camp. On that day students from Lower Secondary School (Gimnazjum) together with students from Secondary School participated in the English Camp!

Students prepared some nice posters connected with the history and culture of Great Britain, project work: “Life in the future” as well as various games. Here are some of them:

Taboo!

This is a word, guessing game. The objective of the game was for a player to have their partners guess the word on the player’s card without using the word itself or five additional words listed  on the card. So the classes were divided into two groups, a member of one group explained the others the hidden word and he had to follow the rules of the game. The group with the highest score won, they got one point for one guessed word.

​

Concentration

This is a very good vocabulary game to exercise new words. It’s fun and learning at the same time! The participants play in a circle. Every person has to remember their number or colour or animal or vegetable…depending what vocabulary we want to exercise.  The “opening” person, usually a teacher starts to clap their lap (two times) and hands (two times) and repeats in the rhythm the word : Con-cen-tra-tion! And then for the fist two syllables says number “1” and for two second syllables e.g. “8”. The student with number 8 has to say : “8” and e.g. “5” and so on. What is important you cannot forget the rhythm and your word of course. The person who fails to do it is out of the game.

Happy Pancake Day 2017

What is the meaning behind it and why do we eat pancakes to celebrate Shrove Tuesday?

The pancake-munching day is finally here - here's all the facts you need to know and why we actually celebrate it. It always falls 47 days before Easter. So the date moves but it will always be between February 3 and March 9.

What is Shrove Tuesday?

Shrove Tuesday is the day that precedes Ash Wednesday . As it is determined by Easter, for which the actual date changes on an annual basis.

This year Pancake Day takes place on Tuesday 28th February.

The name Shrove Tuesday comes from 'shrive', meaning absolution for sins by doing penance.

The day gets its name from the tradition of Christians trying to be 'shriven' before Lent. Christians would go to Confession, where they admit their sins to a priest and ask for absolution.  In the US it's calledMardi Gras aka 'Fat Tuesday' in French mainly because we use up the fatty foods before Lent.

Pancake Day itself came much later as a way of using up rich foods, like eggs, milk and sugar before the 40 days of fasting - Lent .

Pancakes are now forever associated with Shrove Tuesday as it is a sort of all-in-one way of using up some fatty foods before Lent. .

In the past the ideas was for families to clear out their cupboards and remove the fattening foods (normally the tempting ones) so they aren't in their house during Lent.

Eggs, milk and sugar aren't traditionally eaten in fasting season, so need to be scoffed beforehand.

The actual tradition of mixing them up for pancakes is thought to come from a pagan ritual, but others say it is a Christian tradition - with each ingredient representing one of the four pillars of the faith. Eggs for creation, flour sustenance or the staff of life, salt for wholesomeness and milk for purity.

How to make the perfect pancake:

  • 200g plain flour

  • 350-400ml milk, or ½ milk ½ water for a a thinner, lighter pancake

  • 2 large eggs to be lightly whisked

  • 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil

  • A pinch of salt

  • And vegetable oil for frying your delicious pancakes (serves four)

fails to do it is out of the game.
