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.
