During 14th-18th of May 2012 we run the Rurutu week in Grundschule Winzenhohl. The pupils discovered culture, music, dance and the way of life of one of our Comenius partners: French Polynesia. Each class was invited to see the PPT presentation about the French Polynesian school on the island Rurutu: GS Auti-Avera-Moerai. During the presentation the pupils were asked to comment some pictures from Rurutu. They have noticed immediately the difference between the children from Rurutu and themselves: The color of the clothes, the crowns of flowers etc.
Claudia Düsel, teacher of class 3/4c is distributing the shell necklace from French Polynesia. The children were very surprised and happy with this present. Thank you !

The children are exploring the shell, the traditional pestle coral "le penu" and they also try to turn "la toupie", the typical play game in Rurutu school.
The pupils were also invited to look an exhibition of products from Rurutu's pupils: The drawing on coconut bark, the recipes written by pupils, the artistic creation, the several memory game with exotic fruits, the legend of the coconut tree, the poems about taro / local vegetable / and the riddle in French and in English.

There was also to learn to know several local products: Little basket and hand-fan made from pandanus ( local plante ), "le penu" the traditional pestle crafted of coral, "la toupie" the original play game, the soap with flour Tiare, the money in Fr.Polynesia and the black sand.
And at the end it was time to work. In groups they received a packet of table games (memory or black peter) made by Rurutu pupils. I have to say, that the most popular was "Black Peter"! Thank you Poema for this present. The children enjoyed so much!

Giving to our pupils such a cultural background about school's live in Rurutu is a very precious way to create the respect for other countries. The pupils needed to be introduced to the another world, to explain what is different compared to Germany. All this was to educate their minds that the world is big and they have to explore our globe.
