England (Ilfracombe) and Belgium (Bruggy)

On the first day, we left the Czech Republic. It was a noisy night. In the morning, we visited Bruggy in Belgium. We spent one night in France and in the morning, we took a bus to Stonehenge. We took some beautiful pictures. After that we headed off to our host families.

In the morning, we had school and after school we went to the Milky Way Adventure Park. It was a lot of fun. The next day we had school again and after school we visited a town called Clovelly where we bought some souvenirs. After that we got onto the bus again and we went to a town called Barnstaple. It was a very busy town with a lot of shops. In the evening, we went back to Ilfracombe to our host families.

The sixth day we went to school for the last time. After school we went to a national park called Exmoor. After that we visited a beautiful port Lynmouth from where we travelled through a steep cable car to Lynton. From there we went for a walk in the Valley of Rocks. It was really high but really fun. We also saw a goat.

The next day we went to London. London was very beautiful and there were many tourists. We saw the Big Ben, the London Eye, Chinatown and so many other things. In the evening, we took off back to Prague, and we were in Prague in the afternoon the next day.

 It was the best trip ever!

Exchange programme in Holland

On February 2. the Dutch students arrived at the train station and the week began.

We did a tour around the center of Prague and had a ton of free time to show them stuff we didn´t have time to see with the class. Out of the week we spent two days in school. First we did presentations with our Exchange student comparing things here in Czechia and in the Netherlands. The second day in school, we had fun lessons like art, cooking, pottery and P.E. On Thursday everyone had diner together and on Friday they took the train back to the Netherlands.

 Even though I had fun i was really tired after because the whole week you need to plan what you can do when you have free time and over all you are responsible for the Exchange student. By the end of March we were flying to spend a week there. Their program was much more about free time and i would say it wasn´t as organized as ours was but i still liked it. We went to the beach and visited Amsterdam. We were staying in a town named Leiden and it was really nice, the houses were so different from the ones in Prague. After a week we flew back, the whole experience was great, I even got to know some of the Czech students from other classes that I didn´t talk to before. The difficult part is communication, learning English in school is very different from talking in English with someone who can´t understand Czech, so I’m glad I could try it out

England - York

Like every year, we went to the UK. We visited York, a picturesque town that charmed us with its atmosphere. The children enjoyed the local sights and shopping. Each day they visited the school where they enjoyed project-based learning and expanded their vocabulary. They got to know the families' lives and cuisine. We really enjoyed the ruins of Whitby Castle, the Sea world in Scarborough and of course tasting traditional fish and chips. We finished our language stay with a day trip in London. The children were really excited about it. We managed to organise this trip twice to satisfy as many kids as possible.
