Sinterklaas was born in Turkey, the sixth of December. These days, he lives in Spain, in his beautiful palace. When it is his birthday, he brings toys, candy, chocolates and cookies to the children in Belgium and the Netherlands. He reads children’s letters and keeps in mind which toys they would like to have. Because he has so many children to visit, he has some helpers: the “zwarte pieten”.
They prepare his journey and load the boat. In the middle of November, the ship sets course to the Netherlands and Belgium. His best friend is called “slecht weer vandaag”, his horse who assists him during his nightly trips to children.
The toys, candy, chocolates and cookies are brought at night because they can move a lot faster. This way they don’t get stuck in the traffic. When everything is quiet, they get on the rooftops and distribute the toys by putting them through the chimneys.
This year, Sinterklass has received a special letter from “De Wijze Eik” in Belgium. This letter told him about a very special project that involves several other schools in Europe. They asked him to introduce himself and what could be a better way to do that then sending children from CEIP Manuel Ruiz Zorrilla some very special Sinterklaascandy.
