Exhibition of Christmas baking in Dub
This exhibition was organized by a local senior club. For the first time they prepared also a competition in baking bunt cakes ( bábovka in Czech ). It is a very popular cake here and the exhibition room was full of wonderful scent when we visited it! Czech students like helping with baking typical Christmas pastry which is gingerbread. The shapes are usually decorated with white icing and often hang on the Christmas tree.
Gingerbread can be used also for making a beautiful candlestick, like this one.
St. Nicholas´s day in Dub school
The 5th December is a very popular day in the Czech Republic - St. Nicholas´s day! All the children wait impatiently for the evening when St. Nicholas accompanied with a group of devils and a nice angel come to their homes. Every year these popular creatures visit also our school and go to lower classes to ask children whether they were good or naughty.
St. Nicholas has a magic book with notes about each child.
Devils like to frighten the kids and these two ones were really terrible!
Some of the boys were nearly taken to the hell in devils´bags!
Good children always get some sweets from an angel´s basket.

On Wednesday December 3rd 2008, about ten brave students from grades 6 to 9 participated in a rhetoric competition called Young Demosthenes.
