Welcome to the homepage of the St. Willibrordschool. Eventually this page must become a platform for pupils, teachers and parents of our school. Before it can become such a platform, students, teachers and parents have to become familiar with the Internet and, for many people, first with the computer.
The school.
The St. Willibrordschool is a RC school in Lisse, in the middle of the famous Bulb District. In March, April and May the district is at its nicest when the Bulb fields come out. Hundreds of thousands of tourists from all over the word come and visit the district because of its colours. As you might know the bulbs are not cultivated for their flowers, but for the bulbs themselves. This is why the flowers are "beheaded" as soon as they start growing. Many fields are left alone just for the tourists to see. The heads of the chopped off flowers are used annually to make flower mosaics. So does our school. All 300 students from all ages join in. Every student works at the mosaic for about 10 minutes and at the end of the morning we have a flower mosaic of at least 20 square metres. Every flower is stuck into a tempex board with a pin, so that the boards can be put upright for everybody to see. This "flower-project" is one of the projects we do every year. "Ordinary" teaching takes place in year groups with plenty of attention for each individual.
Lisse.
Lisse is a village in the famous Bulb District in the Netherlands, Europe. It was founded in 1198. This is the year when the village was first mentioned in some papers of the Utrecht Diocese. Since then there have been many changes and now the village has become a place that has the aspirations of a city.
What follows here, is a booklet I wrote in Dutch, I'm afraid, for use in history and geography lessons in the schools of Lisse, to teach the students more about the history of the place they live in.
Warning!!!
If you want the booklet to load into your browser with all the photographs it will take about 20 minutes (28k8) depending on Internet traffic.
The booklet is an MS OFFICE 97 (Word for Windows 97) file. It is zipped as lisse1.zip, to lisse 7.zip.
