CHRISTMAS DINNER IN IRELAND

 

The two fifth classes really took this project on.

They decided to undertake a detailed survey of Christmas Dinner in the whole school.

It got the entire school talking about what they eat for Christmas dinner and the outcomes were interesting to see.

I have to say congratulations to both 5th classes: They worked so hard on this project and enjoyed it thoroughly:

They designed the survey, took the photos and drew the graphs.

We will be sending the pie charts in Excel in the coming few days (still putting them together)

The Recipe for Christmas Dinner will follow shortly too [;)]

Christmas Dinner in Germany

Weihnachtsessen

 

In a survey with all the pupils at Christian Morgenstern Schule we got to know about the most common Christmas dinner in our families.

In einer Umfrage unter allen Schülern der Christian Morgenstern Schule haben wir das am meisten gegessene Weihnachtsessen herausgefunden.

 

 
As you can see, the potato salad with sausages is the most popular Christmas dinner. But goose is quite popular too.  12 pupils have other Christmas dinners than the traditional ones.
Wie ihr sehen könnt, ist Kartoffelsalat mit Würstchen das populärste Weihnachtsessen an unserer Schule. Aber viele essen auch Gans. 12 Schüler haben ganz andere Weihnachtsessen als die Traditionllen.
 
We wish you all a merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
Wir wünschen euch allen Frohe Weihnachten und ein frohes Neuses Jahr.

Christmas Dinner in Slovenia


 

What do we eat for Christmas in Slovenia?
 
 
Survey undertaken at our primary school has showed that we usually start our Christmas dinners with Beef Noodle Soup. Continue with Fried Chicken and Roast Potatoes. Eating bread with main dish is also very common in Slovenia. Lettuce and French salad are the most popular of salads. When we finish with our dinner there is a time for a special and very much typical Slovenian Walnut cake, it’s called Potica. Each family eats Potica for a Christmas. If you feel like you want to prepare it, we are attaching the Recipe. Try to make it and enjoy in tasting it! Recipe; Slovenian Potica.doc
 
(The total results of the survey are avaliable in the attached document: Survey results - Slovenia.doc)
