1 Christmas in Jesi Christmas Time Christmas in town Index Christmas at school: The gifts The "Pigotte" (fabric maden dolls) The party together Christmas is the best of holy days. It is a brotherhood and peace' sign. in the people. People hopes that the new year will bring peace and will realize everyone's dreams. LETTER TO SANTA CLAUS Dear Santa, I would like that you will donate to all the children united and serene families, where they can grow up with tranquillity and love. Give them health and obedience for giving happiness to their parents. Give them small plays and christmas cakes too, so they will be surely happy. (From a 7 y. o. child, ) 1 di :15

2 TEMPO DI NATALE IN CITTA' Christmas time in town Thank God, it s Christmas again! Christmas is peace, serenity; it is staying with people who we love; it is the smile and the hope. Everything around us is brightly, coloured and happy. Also Jesi, our town, is full of lights and colours. The most important ways such as Corso Matteotti where our school is situaded, are illuminated by bright arches. In the Republic Square, the central square of Jesi, an enormous Christmas tree rises up. The shops all decorated, are crowded of people who look for presents for their dear ones. 2 di :15

3 In the houses everybody decorates the Christmas tree and prepares the Christmas crib. The crib has got an ancient tradition; it goes back to the 13 th century when S. Francesco from Assisi in 1223 wanted to repeat the experience of the Jesus birth, enriching the Christmas Mass by a living crib. We all wait for these feasts with anxiety. During our Christmas holidays, after tons of eaten stuff, we use to play games all rogether, childrens and parents. Some are card games ("Briscola", "Scopa" and so on) and other are traditional games like "Tombola". It's really funny!!! The 31st of december is an explosive party! Get ready for the midnight dinner (called "cenone" that sounds like "big dinner")... 3 di :15

4 ... An explosion of light, sound and colours!!! Lately, the 6th of January... we celebrate Epiphany, and we wait for the "Befana"'s arrival, an old and cute cute lady that riding an old sweep brings presents to the "good guys" and carbon to the "bad" ones 4 di :15

5 Since many years ago the 6th of January the children free air-balloons with peace messages from Jesi's main square. The city musical band plays with joyful children' voices surroundings. That is a way to remember that our town repudiates the violence, favors the brotherhood and the respect between the people. 5 di :15

6 CHRISTMAS TIME... GIFTS TIME In the Christmas day everybody exchange gifts. A particular flower is gived away. They are called."chrismas star". We have realized objects to donate to our families at school. 6 di :15

7 Also we have created small gifts.....they are exchanges to each other. 7 di :15

8 At last we have sended greetings to our European friends. 8 di :15

9 CHRISTMAS TIME... GIFTS TIME FOR UNICEF On Christmas 2006, the children of 5th class, F.Conti school in Jesi, are very happy because have adheved to Unicef project: ADOTTA UNA PIGOTTA. At school we made many Pigotte dolls in fabric, then we have sold those so we have helped to save may children. We have prepared our plan: 1) We designed the shape and the dressed ones. 2) We wrote the identity card of the pigotta: particular name, characteristics, signs and name of the author 3) We made linguistic games with the words "PIGOTTA" and "UNICEF" 9 di :15

10 The UNICEF (United Nations Children's Fund) is the main world-wide organization that protect the rights and the living conditions of infancy and the adolescence You offer 20! and adopt one Pigotta. You guarantee therefore to a child the vaccine against the six main infectious diseases: poliomyelitis, diphtheria, pertussis, measles, tetanus and tuberculosis. "The Pigotte" We have dressed with pants and mesh. We have made some hundred. We have worked a lot. We have used of all: fabric, paper and even tinplate. We have been good, we are resolutions to manufacture them!!! (Corinne) 10 di :15

11 We are satisfied of our job and we show it to all. We invited the parents and the grandparents. We are grateful of their collaboration. We celebrated the event eating sweet typical christmas and singing in chorus. The song of the Zecchino D' ORo Lo scriverò nel vento has been adapted to our gift. 11 di :15

12 Wednesday 20 and Thursdays 21 Decembers, we went in Republic square. We sold the Pigotte. We hope that the People make always gifts to the poor children and that they are all happy at least at CHRISTMAS TIME. 12 di :15

13 CHRISTMAS TIME... HOLIDAY TIME The houses and city's roads are embellished with bright decorations. We decorated our school too. We created laces and snow crystals. We made them with paper and hanged them on the windows. We wrote, on windows words of wishes......and peace. 13 di :15

14 We decoreted a X-mas tree with balls created by us. The last school day we made a party. We sang togheter and we give wishes for a marry X-mas and Happy new year. Our Headmistress Mirella Mazzarini celebrated with us. We sang Italian, English, Spanish songs. 14 di :15
