EASTER
“Easter is a time of love,
of family and of peace.
It is a time when we say a

future holds.”

MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR
Another term has passed and again we have reasons for celebrations…Lots of challenging, successful
activities have been done: Intensive Courses in French and German, Teacher Training workshops offered by the British Council within the Addvantage Partnership Programme and the very good results
obtained by our students in the University of Cambridge mock examinations (PET,FCE and CPE with
over 90 % of passes in total), which will certainly augur a good harvest in June. Well done students,
and thank you teachers for your hard work in marking all these exams!
A Happy Easter full of eggs filled with sweet joys and reborn, renovated hopes in the coming months!

O coelho da Páscoa
Os coelhos da Páscoa não existem!
Pelo menos é o que muita gente pensa. E dizem:
— Um coelho é um coelho, quer esteja na coelheira ou no
campo. E não põe ovos. Então como é que podia trazê-los
pela Páscoa?
Além do mais, um coelho não consegue abrir uma porta ou
saltar uma vedação. E onde é que ia arranjar um cesto para
pôr os ovos, se mesmo assim os tivesse?
Ainda por cima, todos os coelhos têm
medo dos homens! É triste,

Easter in Germany
In Germany Easter is started by covering the cross on Good Friday. On
this day they eat dishes which have fish in them.
Easter starts with mass, which is started on Saturday evening and continues until Sunday morning. On Sunday it is Family Day on this day they
have a special Easter lunch and they have colored eggs and a cake which
is shaped like a lamb.
They also eat other sweet foods such as cookies, cake and chocolate on
this day and the best part of the day is the hiding of the eggs and cookies in
the garden.
Another tradition is the Easter Fire which is where all the old Christmas
trees are gathered up and burnt in a special place, this is done so as to
clean away the last signs of winter and moving onto spring.
In Germany green eggs are used on Maundy Thursday or Holy Thursday.
