HUEVOS DE PASCUA

Así de chulos nos quedaron los trabajos de Plástica. 

FELICES VACACIONES

Huy qué ganas tenía de que llegara este día... Después de un trimestre corto pero intenso creo que todos nos merecemos un descansito. Sobre todo por las dos últimas semanas, que han sido...ufffff (y no lo digo sólo por el proyecto de tejer de los de 6º, que menos mal que casi todos lo han acabado...muchos de ellos con ayuda de sus abuelas, madres, tías... ;-P)

Pero bueno, aquí os dejo algunos de los últimos trabajos de los de 4º.  Hemos cambiado las ranas por conejos:

Y seguimos sin ojos para los gusanos que hicimos... pero como ha llegado la primavera nuestras ventanas se han llenado de preciosas mariposas...(que no se ven muy allá en las fotos, pero quedan fenomenal con la luz que entra por la ventana)

Si queréis hacerlas, es muy fácil, y el resultado es fantástico, necesitáis: 

una plantilla de mariposa (abajo os dejo algunas)

papel de acetato (plástico)

rotuladores permanentes

una pinza de madera

pegamento y tijeras

un trocito de limpiapipas

Calcad la mariposa en el acetato. Coloread con cuidado. Recortad. Doblad ligeramente las alas a ambos lados del cuerpo. Pegad la pinza en el cuerpo (por debajo). La parte de la cabeza es la parte de la pinza que sujeta la ropa, y con ella se sujeta el limpiapipas, doblada en dos y curvada en los extremos,  formando las antenas. Se puede colocar un imán para ponerlas en la nevera.

También hemos hecho unos huevos de Pascua decorados (son de corcho) y los hemos llevado a casa en estas cestitas tan monas. 

Ésta es la plantilla para la caja. 

EASTER EGGS

We have made this beautiful Easter eggs, and we have used them to decorate the classroom doors (sorry about the pictures; I took them with my mobile phone and they are not very good, and besides, I'm running out of memory too so...this is the result)

The Easter Bunny

"Here comes Peter Cottontail
hoppin' down the bunny trail
Hippity hoppity
Easters on its way!"

What Does the Easter Bunny Have To Do With Easter?

 Well, nothing.

Bunnies, eggs, Easter gifts and fluffy, yellow chicks in gardening hats all stem from pagan roots. They were incorporated into the celebration of Easter separately from the Christian tradition of honoring the day Jesus Christ rose from the dead.

The origin of the celebration -- and the Easter bunny -- can be traced back to 13th century, pre-Christian Germany, when people worshiped several gods and goddesses. The Teutonic deity Eostra was the goddess of spring and fertility, and feasts were held in her honor on the Vernal Equinox. Her symbol was the rabbit because of the animal’s high reproduction rate.

Spring also symbolized new life and rebirth; eggs were an ancient symbol of fertility. According to History.com, Easter eggs represent Jesus' resurrection.

The first Easter bunny legend was documented in the 1500s. These legends were brought to the United States in the 1700s when German immigrants settled in Pennsylvania Dutch country.

THE LEGEND OF EASTER BUNNY

The legend goes back to the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Legend says that when Jesus died and was put in the tomb, a scared bunny was hiding inside.

Bunny watched the body of Jesus in the tomb and wondered who was that man that many people were crying.

The bunny spent there two days, and he saw Jesus stood up alive and the Angel withdrawing the stone from the entrance of the tomb. Then, the bunny thought  that man could only be the son of God and he was so happy that he decided to tell the world that Jesus was alive, and that they no longer had to be sad.

But ...  the bunny could not talk, so he thought that if he painted the eggs with lots of colours,  people would understand the reason of his joy.

Legend says that since then every Easter Sunday,  a bunny leaves chocolate eggs painted colors for all the children, to celebrate that Jesus has risen.
