Stones are helping

Our school has a little girl in India who is our adoptive sister. We are paying her school attendance every year. This year we have decided to paint flat stones and by selling them to anybody we will get enough money for her next school year. At the beginning it looked like a problem. It was not easy to find so many flat stones but at the moment a lot of students from many classes are painting stones with enthusiasm. Maybe they do not realize that every stone which will be sold means one day at school for little Mary Prahitba.
The stones will be sold in our school in the week when we are going to celebrate The Students´Day.
I hope that we will sell all of them. They look really great and you can give them to somebody as a small present which can make other people happy.
Thank you all, who are working on this great event.

eTwinning Day in Ceska Lipa

3rd October was like any other day in our school. But it was different. It is not easy to stop learning in the classes of our school and to spend the whole day celebrating etwinning day. So I decided to spend the day working hard. At first we prepared noticeboards about all our projects and also about our trip to Greece.
Students from kvarta B were so lucky that they could go to Greece to visit our eTwinning friends in two schools. Thessaloniki and Kavasila High School. We also celebrated our big success, the second prize in the National Competition of the eTwinning in the Czech Republic.
It was a very long journey, 25 hours on the regular coach route from Prague to Thessaloniki. But we didn´t mind. We couldn´t wait to see our friends and to tell them that we all had been successful.

Our Greek friends looked after us very well. It was one of the best trips in my life. All the children were happy, for some of them it was for the first time they stayed in a hotel, saw the sea and ate in a sea restaurant. We also visited Greek families and tried some Greek food. One of the most beautiful days was when we visited Vergina- the tomb of Philip II, the father of Alexander of Macedonia.
We visited both schools and celebrated the eTwinning day there.
On the way back we got so many presents and so much food from our Greek friends that we could hardly carry it. We will never forget this beautiful trip. I know that I have my second family in Greece. Eleni and Despina are my faithful friends.
We will have some more projects. On 3rd October secunda B got the names of the children from a portugal town called Braga and we started working on the project called CYBER FRIENDS and secunda A will go on with the Greek school Kavasila High School. The name of the project is MUSIC HELPS US LIVE. It will be a team project of the English teacher, music, art and ICT teachers. We want to introduce our folk songs to each other.
We also watched films about Kavasila and Thesslaoniki, the children spoke about their trip to Greece and we were happy that more people want to take part in the etwinning programme.
We didn´t celebrate like other schools, we were working very hard the whole day.

eTwinning Day in Greek schools

The students from Grammar school in Ceska Lipa celebrated the eTwinning Day with their friends a week earlier. They took a chance to do it while they were visiting their partner school in Kalamaria Thessaloniki.
The name of the project with this school is called "Let´s cross the bridge" and we are happy to say that we have crossed it. In April the Greek students came to Ceska Lipa for a few days and it was our turn now. We were very lucky because the Greek school paid for our accommodation, food and a lot of other things. Without their help we wouldn´t be able to go.
The invitation in the school was very friendly. We met the students in the amphitheater of the school where we celebrated together the eTwinning Day. The whole celebration was open by the headmaster of the Greek school. Then we gave the school a winning cup to remind them of our common success in the National eTwinning Competition in the Czech Republic where we had won the second prize. Our Greek friends prepared a presentation about the project and we spoke about the Czech Republic. During the celebration we could also see some Greek folk dances in beautiful costumes and the school band played and sang some songs.
Our students got presents and a lot of studying material about Thessaloniki. They were very happy. Then we went around the school and went on with the celebration for the rest of the day. In the evening we were invited to the Greek families to try delicious Greek cuisine.

We continued with celebrations also the next day 26th September when we travelled to the other partner school called Kavassila High School not far from a very interesting , old town Veria. We have been working with this school for a long time and we have had a lot of projects together. The last project is called "Where do we come from".
When I opened the door of the school I felt I was at home. I couldn´t wait the kiss my twin sister Eleni Kostopoulou.
We were expected in the gym. The atmosphere was very friendly and the students from my school felt like film stars. We showed a film about our school and we spoke about the Czech republic again. Our town is more than 1600 km far from Kavassila but we didn´t have that feeling. We celebrated the same success as in Thessaloniki. Again the second prize in the National etwinning Competition of the Czech Republic.
The Greek children sang a song Fourteen birds and during this song they gave us baskets with fruit from their farms. It was very nice and touching. On the top of each basket was a little paper bird as a symbol of the next project we are going to have together. The name of this project is "Music helps us live".
Our boys played football in the school yard and the girls had a chat with Greek children. I got letters from new etwinning participants and a film, too.
My friend Eleni showed us Veria and told us about history of the town. We also visited the Tomb of Phillip II which was something very special.

I think that both days were very successful and we will remember them for a long time.
