An
Insight into the Romanian Country Life
On Octomber 12, a group of 35 pupils
along with their teachers visited two museums in Bucharest, both relevant to
the theme of our Comenius project. At
the Romanian Peasant Museum we could see different instruments (work tools,
bowls, traditional costumes) linked to the rural life in the past. We also had
a glimpse into the everyday life and activities of women living in rural areas
while comparing them with the ones practised by men. The visit has been highly
interactive, pupils having to search for clues and answer questions on their
worksheets.
As a bonus, both
pupils and teachers paid a visit to the Autumn Fair at The Romanian Peasant
Museum where we could admire antiques and some religious items. We also enjoyed
the Food Fair where we could taste and buy delicious home made food from all
over Romania proving once more our country’s rich culinary history.
The visit to The Village Museum „Dimitrie
Gusti” was different from the one
before, as it took place in the open. While enjoying the beautiful weather
outside, pupils tried to find more about the characteristics of Romanian
villages and paid attention to different architectural styles. They also did their best to be creative by gathering in
teams and creating their own video jurnals which they will have
to present in front of their peers and teachers.
We all had a great time on our trip to
Bucharest: we found out interesting facts about the rural life in the past, we
had a go at being creative outside the classoom, we made new friends and much
more. At the end of the day, the pupils
were very excited by the trip, looking forward to our next day out!
