Portuguese students in Barcelona (Spain)







... and some photos to remember ...



The Portuguese students' presentation in the 4th meeting of the Comenius Project (Barcelona, Spain)





Students’ presentation guide (Meeting in Spain)

Our school is situated in an area of rapidly expanding population. It is located in Torres Novas, a city with a past history in the district of Santarém.
This year there are 544 students (297 from the 2nd cycle and 247 from the 3rd Cycle which means students from 10 up to 14 years old). It is a school with an increasing number of students coming from different sociological and economic backgrounds which affect their learning; 196 students received financial support including an alimentary supplement because they really need it.  We also have some children with special educative needs (about 120).  

Sports – We won several national and local prizes in different sports.
Music – Partnership with Choral Phydellius (Choral and musical institute located in Torres Novas). Our students learn how to play different musical instruments.
Environment – We are an Eco School and we also developed an Eco School Project. We  have been rewarded with a Green Flag for some years and we still go on developing different activities in this context.
Projects – Since many years ago we’ve been developing many projects and different activities: Health Project, Cape Verde Exchange Project, Solidarity Club, Socrates Comenius Project – Language Assistant, European ClubYouth Parliament ClubMusic Club,

Activities done so far:
Logo contest – The students from the 7th and 8th grades created a “Logo of the Project “. Each partner country elected its own and the winner was the Spanish logo.  The logos are posted on the Virtual Guide.
Questionnaire about “Fast food versus traditional food” – The Comenius team applied a questionnaire to their students and their conclusions are posted on the Virtual Guide.
78% of the Portuguese students from 3rd Cycle (7th, 8th and 9th years) aged between 12 and 15 years answered the questionnaire. We can infer that more than half of the Portuguese students know what fast food is and they consume it because they enjoy it. The data also shows us that students consume less fast food and more traditional food and the most famous dishes from traditional Portuguese cuisine are among their preferences.
The study of one food group – In order to make students aware of the importance of eating well, different partners studied different food groups. The Portuguese students from the 7th and 8th grades studied the group “Legumes and oilseeds”. Their work is already posted on the Virtual Guide of the project.
Our Food Pyramid Poster Contest – After studying evolution of food pyramid and its importance, the students from the different grades (5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 9thrganized a food pyramid contest where theyshowed their creativity and originality in all the works divulgated in a final exhibition. The winner poster was created by two students from the 5th grade.

How does our traditional food take part in the food pyramid?
Our first task was to do a research study about the most traditional dishes from the north, centre and south of Portugal and also in the archipelago of Madeira and the Azores. And it was really a big problem for us because, among so many different ways of cooking different types of meat, fish, birds, soups, side dishes, vegetables and desserts, we had to choose the best one to illustrate each region. Otherwise it would be a very, very long work. But we are sure that one of the biggest influences on Portuguese cooking is without any doubt the ocean. So seafood is an integral part of the Portuguese cuisine (from shrimps up to hundreds of varieties of bacalhau (codfish).
And here you can see our choices (video)

This picture shows us that the position of the Portuguese typical traditional food from the different regions of Portugal, including the archipelago of Madeira and Azores in the food pyramid is very similar. But even so we can say that the healthiest traditional food is in the south of Portugal.

The final dinner at the culinary  School of Castelfranco V.to (TV) , organized by students and teachers, showed   the psychological aspects of food  throughout a “trip of  5 senses” and  it revisited in an original way the idea  of Fast Food with dishes prepared with traditional products.
Everything was  documented with photos and videos.
All works, visits presentations were in English language  and it was a positive full immersion for teachers and students.

This experience was very interested and productive and  all (teachers and students) were enriched with new  skills and knowledges.
It was very appreciated by the families  the  politeness of students who visited our country.
The students  have worked with students of other countries and  learned  new things and  compering different habits.
All students  was very happy to present their school and to get involved in the workshops prepared for them.
