An Ark full of gestures of friendship and generosity
Easter 2023
«PEACE IS BUILT BY REMOVING BARRIERS AND WELCOMING DIFFERENCES,
JUST LIKE NOAH DID WITH THE ANIMALS ON THE ARK"
In this period of Lent, we prepare for the Resurrection of Jesus by valuing sharing and coexistence with our friends. It will be a journey dedicated to peace education - how necessary ever, given the historical moment we are experiencing! - accompanied by a very special person: Noah.
The project aims to enhance personal and environmental experiences, guiding children to grasp the signs of the Catholic Christian religion. Children acquire the first tools necessary to grasp the meanings, words, gestures, symbols and signs of their religious experience.
Consistent with the annual "ecological inclusion" planning, the wait for Christmas - an inevitable chapter of the annual IRC planning (Catholic religion teaching) - could only be ecological!
Like every year, the period preceding Christmas is a moment full of suggestions and profound meanings, to be shared with the children of the section. To act as a bridge between experiences daily experiences experienced by children to prepare for Christmas at school and those experienced at home, there is "the decorations evening", organized to meet the families of the section.
The period of waiting is characterized by the construction of the calendar and the Advent wreath which allow us to mark the passage of time by counting the days and weeks remaining until the birth of Jesus.
COMMEMORATION OF THE DEAD
There were some people with very beautiful, colorful bouquets of flowers, the dead people are there in the cemetery but also in our hearts. (N.A. 4 years)
It is tradition on this day to bring flowers to the graves of loved ones. With the children we went to the Medolla cemetery to visit all the loved ones who rest in peace in this place. Some recognized their grandparents' grave and it was an opportunity to greet them with a prayer. The children then placed the flower arrangement created at school in front of the cemetery church.
