The Carnation Revolution – 25th April 1974 in Portugal

25th April is a holiday in Portugal, as in 1974 this was a very important day in the history of Portugal because there was a revolution that brought the government down in order to implant democracy. This revolution was led by military forces and it was received with great joy in the streets, because people had long hoped for freedom. So, this holiday is called “Freedom Day”.

 The period ranging from 6 years to 14 years for both sexes, depending on how it is lived , can largely affect the well-being and mental and physical balance in the adult. Recently, many social upheavals have led to increasing levels of physical inactivity especially in childhood. A similar reversal of trends, habits and patterns of behavior has generated a series of restrictions and constraints on the physical and mental, directly proportional to the degree of social welfare. Children and adolescents, both male and female, could achieve great benefits from regular practice of an activity that does not necessarily have to be too intense. With at least 15-20 minutes of vigorous activity like running or other aerobic sports day, children and teens are able to: maintain good health and good bone and joints build good muscle mass reduce body fat maintain a good weight prevent the development of high blood pressure and help decrease the pressure in adolescents with hypertension improve learning ability. Physical activity also gives it a decisive role both as a channel for venting of natural exuberance, and as a training and general education, improving the adaptability of the boy to daily tasks, allowing a good emotional control, better self-esteem and increasing the capacity socialization.

During the activity can express and rework, in an atmosphere of emotional containment, their personal history inscribed in the body.  Education promotes Psychomotor promotes (in a particular space and time, using specific material) childhood  expressiveness, and its development, toward three goals that complement and enrich each other:

The The Holy Friday is the day when we colour and decorate eggs. On the morning of Easter Sunday children go into homes shouting "Christ is risen." People gives an egg to every child. Another custom is that on Saturday night people go in church .. At midnight you can hear the bells ringing in celebration. People  takes a garland of flowers and turns around the church . Then he goes inside to participate in the Mass. The first thing people do when  enter is leave a donation and then passes under a table.

The books on the shelves are divided by age of the readers and the subjects. Many books contain stories.

One day, we students of class II C we went to the library. Upon entering the teacher showed us the shelves with books of fiction and asked us to choose a story. We have all been drawn from a book titled "If I were a tiger" and asked to the teacher to read it. So she took the book while we are sitting on the floor to listen in silence.

"If I were a tiger" is about a boy who wanted to become many different things and characters: a tiger, a stone, a ghost, an elephant. It runs into several thousand adventures. After the reading we have animated the story. The book was wonderful! It 'was an unforgettable experience because we had a great time.
