A summary of our Easter activity created by students from class 5th and 6th

1. The summary
of Easter collaboration activity

2. Students from Spain and from Poland celebrate
Easter, but students from Turkey don’t.
However, not everyone in Poland celebrates
Easter. At Polish school there are some students
who are Jehova’s Witnesses. They don’t celebrate
Easter.
Celebrating or not celebrating Easter is connected
with faith and personal beliefs.

3. In Spain, people start celebration on Palm
Sunday. Students have 10 holiday days.
In Poland, people celebrate Palm Sunday but then
they have to wait five more days to start the actual
celebration. During the Holy Week people go to
work as usual, but students go to school until
Maundy Thursday and they have only 6 holiday
days.

4. In Poland, people often decorate their houses with
bunnies, chicks and dyed eggs.
In Spain, people don’t decorate their houses for
Easter.

5. In Poland: bunnies, chicks, lambs or sheep, eggs,
daffodils, baskets with food and special cakes:
„mazurek” or „babka” or „keks”.
In Spain: cake called „la mona”, chicks, chocolate
eggs, palms and processions.
Both Poland and Spain celebrate Easter in church
(it’s a religious holiday) and with families.
In Poland some people believe that the Easter
bunny brings sweets to good children. In Spain
people don’t believe in Easter bunny.

6. In Spain it’s a cake called „la mona” and chocolate
eggs.
In Poland there are many traditional Easter
dishes, but the favourite ones are eggs with mayo,
a soup called „żurek”, white sausage and cakes:
„mazurek”, „keks”, „babka”.
Students from both Spain and Poland eat
chocolate during Easter.

7. In Spain it’s singing „caramelles” (special Easter
songs) and dancing with sticks – it’s called „el ball
de bastons”.
In Poland it’s colouring eggs, taking food to church
on Holy Saturday to have it blessed, egg cracking
(hitting one egg with another one) and Wet
Monday (pouring water on other people on Easter
Monday).

8. Either students from Spain or students from
Poland answered they like or even love Easter.
Only one student answered „no”.
