Portugal,
Colégio Conciliar de Maria Imaculada, WDA in St Martin's Day (11th November)
On St Martin's day, it's a tradition, in
Portugal to have an activity called Magusto,
which involves roasting chestnuts and drinking homemade wine, which resulted
from the harvest of the new fresh grapes of the season.
Large bonfires are made, usually in the
center of each village, where the chestnuts are roasted, and greatly
appreciated by all. Songs and activities are also part of the tradition and typical
activities from each village have proliferated all over the country.
It is also a tradition to make the TALEGO,
which is a sack of cloth patchwork, which is used to collect the roasted chestnuts.
This year, a TALEGO’s contest was
organized for our educational community. The goal was to use recyclable
materials and reused materials that would be wasted. The students who didn´t
accept the challenge made, in Arts classes, some TALEGOs, by recycling milk
packages brought by them from home.
The
result was extraordinary. Our students exceeded all expectations, because of
the diversity, imagination and creativity from each TALEGO made. There was
great difficulty in choosing the best work, due to the high quality and
originality of the TALEGOs presented.
Some photos, from the
TALEGOs exhibition were published during the week of
November 7th, 2013 (WDA): http://youtu.be/t1ruWVLLYcs
