PRAGUE SNOWFLAKES TRAVEL ALL THE WAY TO THE DISTANT CANARY ISLANDS

Our school Mohylova is participating in the international European Christmas Decoration Exchange project for the second year running. We don't just expect to have a tree decorated with children's ornaments from France, Poland, Germany, Spain, Austria, Croatia, Greece, Lithuania, and Italy, but we also use this as a great opportunity to practice English, which is the common language of communication when sending decorations between schools across Europe.

Since most people in Czechia dream of snow at Christmas, we decided to introduce this dream to our little friends abroad and made them a snowflake Christmas decoration with a Lada´s picture of Christmas Day. (Josef Lada is a Czech painter who captured many typical moments from life in the Czech countryside in the past.) But that's not all. The fourth graders also depicted snowflakes gently falling on the panorama of Prague Castle on greeting cards sent to schools abroad.

The snowflakes sent to a Spanish school in the Canary Islands will travel the longest distance, and we are happy that they will not melt even in the heat of the local sun.
