Pão por Deus
|
| |

|
| |
On Friday, 23 October we celebrate Pão por Deus, an old Madeiran custom. At EIM, however, we have added our own flavour to the occasion by inviting a member of the community to visit us and talk to our children briefly, about other less fortunate children in orphanages. Our children each bring a little "Pão por Deus" bag, filled with the traditional nuts, fruit and bread as well as their favourite sweets. After the talk they put on a short concert for the visitor and are then invited to share some of the contents of their bags with the orphan children. Our visitor then delivers the offerings of the EIM children to an orphanage. Our children share the remainder of the contents in their bags with each other during a party on the playground. For the past thirteen years, this event marks the start of our Primary mid-term break.

On Friday, 26 June we celebrated our Graduation Valedictory Mass in the Chapel of Santa Clara. Father Bernardino celebrated Mass in both English and Portuguese. From parents to great-grandparents, godparents to friends, relations and past pupils were present. The children sang beautifully and behaved very well. Lauren Leach sang "Slipping through my Fingers" and "Memories" and yes, she brought us all to tears! It was indeed a very emotional occasion. Some of the garaduands had been with us for six years , from the age of four, and others for seven years, from the age of three. During the graduation the background music was "Time to say good-bye" - Andrea Boccelli.It was not easy to say good-bye. After Mass the Primary 4 parents offered everyone some cake and drinks in the cloister.

30.06.2006
|

At our graduation the Primary children put on a Mozart play which was written by Thelma Teixeira, the principal. Mozart music was played on the violin, the recorders, the percussion instruments and CD back ground music at appropriate times. The costumes provided by the parents were in period style and absolutely magnificent. The children's performance was brilliant, bearing in mind that some were speaking their 2nd or 3rd language.
This was followed by the Pre-school´s variety of songs,poems and dramatisation of the Three Little Pigs. They were delightful.
The Graduation then took place. The Nurseries were crowned and Preps were capped as they graduated to Prep and Primary, respectively. Inês Quintas, our Primary 4 pupil graduated with Honours into Primary 5 and into the Second Cycle.

Equipped with snack bags and their crayon and felt pencil tins, our Primary pupils excitedly crossed over the road, accompanied by two teachers, to a wonderful guided tour of the Universo de Memorias. They started off by looking at the display of all the "Presépios" (Christmas cribs), which had been hand-made in different towns in Madeira.
This was followed by further exposure to the interesting history of Madeira and ended with outdoor activities and work sheets.
