Team from Tongeren

The Belgian Student Team from Tongeren for the Comenius project "Partners in Patterns" invites everybody involved with this project to our forum located on our website www.partnersinpatterns.eu.tt
(This should become www.partnersinpatterns.com in the future).

The purpose of this forum is to unite everybody involved, communicate about the project and to make friends with people from the other participating countries. We hope that this forum will become the main communication source, including for the teachers. We hope to see you soon in our forum.

Mme Lybaert had a question not related to the comenius project: how do you say "happy new year" in Spanish, Swedish, Irish and Italian? She wants to know this because our school wants to put that on this years new year-cards.

Yours sincerely the Belgian Student Team from Tongeren

Patterns in a Swedish garden furniture factory

It all started in Sweden for us. My first pattern pictures were taken during a factory (of garden furniture) visit with students.
One of them you can see here.



Enjoy the pattern festival.

The students in Sint-Donatus Merchtem (Belgium) are briefed regarding the postcard competition. We hope the other countries have started also.
