Monday: Welcome Ceremony & Jeep Adventure

Excellent night sleep in the comfy bed which is now home, followed by a buffet breakfast which included some amazing apple pancakes! Yum, excellent start!

Arrived at the school at 9am and met with the headmistress; the students have prepared a welcome ceremony for us all which is mainly about Polish history.  Students acted out a story, sang and danced in the Polish traditional way and told us about their school.  It was then our turn! The German students opened with videos about their school and also bridges in Europe;  England followed with information about LSA, followed by a quiz about the different subjects we study.  This was quite popular as those who guessed correctly got sweets!! Hungary presented their school and also a history of their town. Sweden are doing a quiz with the students tomorrow to the he younger students. Very interesting and all students executed their presentations well.  Proud teachers all round!! A few more gift giving presentations between the Comenius co-ordinators before we were off to go on a Jeep off-road adventure!

The jeep adventure was mental! Real off roading with a group photo stop in between.  Good job that we did this before having lunch!! Lunch was excellent, as usual. It was tomato and bias soup followed by chicken steaks (breaded with almonds!) with coleslaw and potatoes.  Pudding was panacotta with a creamy latte to end! Meal times are consisting of 3 courses, I will be a lot heavier upon my return to the UK on Saturday. We had some free time in the Old Town before heading back to school.  I some of the students went out for pizza with their host familIes, we went back the hotel for a meal with all the teachers from the host school. Excellent day!
