Our school - photos (Poland)

Dear Finish students and teachers,  

We have seen your school so now we would like to show you some photos of our beautiful school. We hope that our Italian partners will also enjoy them. ;)

The first meeting with our school nurse (Poland)

On 13^th January our school nurse, Mrs. Aldona Celebucka, had the lesson with students from III D grade. This is one of our sports classes, therefore, the lesson was about various sports injuries (and ways of avoiding them), a proper diet for sportsmen and sportswomen and finally a healthy lifestyle in general.

There are five more lessons to follow. This activity will last in our school till March. Below you can see the presentations prepared by our nurse and the photos of the lesson. 

The first one is about sports injures.

The second one is about rules of healthy eating.

A learning activity in Italy (Poland)

Starting from September 2014 our students had to work hard in order to get good grades from English. Then they wrote a test in December which aim was to check their knowledge of grammar and vocabulary. Not only did we check their general language skills, but they were also assessed in terms of their speaking abilities. Finally, after the careful selection process we managed to choose the group of 14 students who are going to participate in the learning activity in Italy (April 2015).

Congratulations! And keep up the good work! ;)

Our visit in Finland (Poland)

Dear Finish partners and students!

Thank you for your kind wishes. After the meeting of coordinators in Finland we prepared a presentation which depicts our appreciation of the country and your school. We have enjoyed that visit very much! This presentation was shown to our pupils and teachers. Thank you for your hospitality and good cooperation in 2014! All the best for 2015!

Christmas in Finland (FIN)

Dear partners,

we wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year! Thank you for your cooperation during the first year of our project.  Here is a little description of how we celebrate Christmas in Finland, written by our 8th graders.

In Finland, Christmas Eve (24 December) is celebrated more than Christmas Day (25 December). On Christmas Eve, Father Christmas comes and gives gifts to children or the gifts are put under the Christmas tree. We believe that Father Christmas lives in Finland, in a place called Korvatunturi in Lapland. Father Christmas's sleigh is pulled by reindeer. Many people go to church on Christmas morning.

We eat many different kinds of food during Christmas time. We eat Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve, usually after Christmas sauna and before opening the presents. Christmas dinner includes for example carrot casserole, swede casserole, potatoes, peas, salmon or other kinds of fish. The most important food on the table for many Finns is ham. We also eat rice pudding and gingerbread and drink home-brewed beer or mulled wine during Christmas time.

Merry Christmas or "Hyvää Joulua" as we say in Finnish! :)
