ANDRZEJKI - POLISH FESTIVITY 29th November

# data[].attributes.body
Every year, on the night of November 29th, something magical happens in Poland. As darkness falls, people gather, lit candles, old keys are found, and a mysterious excitement drifts in the air. This is Andrzejki—an ancient Polish festivity full of fortune-telling, laughter, and a hint of mystery.

Andrzejki, also known as St. Andrew’s Eve, began centuries ago as a serious night of fortune-telling for young unmarried women, who believed they could discover the name or profession of their future husband. Over time, it transformed into a fun, light-hearted celebration for everyone—children, teenagers, and adults.

Although it has roots in old Slavic and Christian traditions, today Andrzejki is mostly about having fun, celebrating with friends, and maybe catching a glimpse of what the future holds.

🇨🇿 Easter in the Czech Republic (3rd - 6th April 2026)

Easter in the Czech Republic is celebrated in spring, usually in March or April. Schools are closed for about three days, so students enjoy a short Easter holiday. The most important day is Easter Monday, when a special Czech tradition takes place.

Boys make a hand-braided whip called "pomlázka" and visit girls to gently tap them as a fun way to wish them health and beauty for the whole year. In return, girls give them painted eggs called "kraslice", and sometimes chocolate or a colorful ribbon for the whip.

Families also enjoy traditional food like "mazanec" (sweet Easter bread) and "beránek" – a lamb-shaped cake. The whole celebration is full of colors, spring energy, and old Slavic customs that are still alive today.

      SIETE MANCAS FESTIVITY
The main festivity of Simancas is linked to the legend of the "seven one-handed maidens," seven maidens who cut off their hands in the 9th century to avoid being offered as tribute to Caliph Abd al-Rahman II. The main celebration takes place on August 6, the Feast of the Savior, and commemorates this act of resistance with a reenactment of the "Tribute of the Hundred Maidens," in which seven young people from the town are named "maidens." This story also gives its name to the town and is depicted on its coat of arms with seven painted hands, according to the legend of the seven one-handed maidens of Simancas

9th October Festivity- Valencian Community day

This day commemorates the entry of King Jaume I into the city of Valencia in 1234, in order to free it from the Muslim rule of Abul Djumayl Zayyan, king of Balansiya. It is a celebration with a long tradition that began in the fourteenth century by King James II of Aragon. It was not until a hundred years after the conquest of Valencia, in 1338, that the City Council organised an institutionalised commemoration procession to ask San Dionisio for an end to the famine that the city was going through after a period of bad harvests.

Activities include colourful parades, involving traditional dance groups and music bands, creating a festive atmosphere in the streets. In addition, fairs and gastronomic events are organised where you can taste typical dishes such as paella and local sweets. The day culminates with an impressive fireworks display that lights up the sky, making this celebration a memorable moment for Valencians and visitors alike.

Here in our school we conmemorate the day dancing the tipic "dançà" with traditional customs in the playground all the students and cook some sweets made with almonds and sugar.
