The day of Estonian bread
On October 14, students from classes 1 to 4 celebrated the day of Estonian bread. Bread is a symbol of Estonian food, a staple food for Estonians for centuries. Students learned about traditions of our ancestors, growing different crops and bread making. Teachers had prepared an amusing short play about a mouse and an ear of grain for students. Students read a poem about baking bread and there was an exhibition of students’ works together with various information about bread making and old Estonian traditions.
Make yourself visible!
Autumn and winter days are short and it gets dark very quickly. It is very important to make oneself visible using various reflective elements. You should wear at least one reflector on your right side and hang it knee high from your clothes. Walking along the motorway, you should always walk on the left side of the road.
