Last Tuesday, 3rd cycle students were Easter Egg hunting in our Central Park.
The activity was very funny. The students in groups should follow different clues written on eggs hiden in different parts of the park. At the end we tasted chocolate eggs and they were delicious!

Easter eggs or spring eggs are special eggs that are often given to celebrate Easter or springtime.

The egg is a pagan symbol of the rebirth of the Earth in celebrations of spring.

The oldest tradition is to use dyed or painted chicken eggs, but a modern custom is to substitute chocolate eggs, or plastic eggs filled with confectionery such as jelly beans. These eggs are often hidden by the Easter Bunny, for children to find on Easter morning. Otherwise, they are generally put in a basket filled with real or artificial straw to resemble a bird's nest.
