Children from Denmark in Prague

We were writing our friends from Denmark for a few months and finally they came to Czech Republic. They arrived on Tuesday the 7th of April at 11PM at train station Holešovice. We picked them up and took them to our houses. The next morning we took a tram to a rope climbing centre and in the afternoon we went to a bowling centre where we had lots of fun. On Thursday we took our danish friends on a tour around Prague with a guide and we visited a wax museum and a museum of torture. On the last day of this trip we visited the concentration camp in Terezín and we spent the afternoon with our danish friends and our families. They left on Saturday morning. We really enjoyed our time together and we're looking forward to going to Denmark!

Wir waren in Marienberg. Das ist kleine Stadt unter Erzgebirge mit schönem Weihnachtsmarkt. Hier kann man große interessante Kirche oder Erzgebirgemuseum sehen. Dann sind wir nach Seiffen gefahren. Hier waren viele Touristen, Weihnachtslichter und ein Spielzeugmuseum. Wir finden das war prima, super, fantastisch, interessant und in Marienberg und Seiffen warem super Bratwürste.

HALLOWEEN - A monster class 6.C

It is the 31st of October. All the scary monsters are coming out of their hiding places. But the monsters from 6.C are still in the dark. They are waiting...waiting for some small children,  who believe that monsters are real.

Fortunately there is Class 3 which  believes that they are real. They are coming to visit them. This is the time when the monsters of 6.C are coming out. They are happy that there are still some children who believe in monsters. Then they sing a song together. Happy Halloween!

Theatre Performance

The theatre performance 'ALIEN' took place on Thursday, September 25th for the fourth and fifth grades of our school. There were three actors participating in the play. Two actors played the main roles of agents and the third actor disguised as an extraterrestrial being embodied an alien. The agents wearing black suits and sunglasses did their best to incorporate pupils into the story. The agents spoke English as well as Czech so that the children could understand better. The third actor representing the alien only made some unrecognizable sounds. Unfortunately, the play sometimes looked rather chaotic and confusing. Nevertheless, pupils seemed to be enjoying themselves and hopefully it had a certain language merit for them.

The next theatre play which students could see was presented on Friday, September 26th. It was focused on the eighth and ninth grades. Pupils were invited to English ancient times particularly, the show was dealing with the History of England. All the actors spoke only English. To explain the plot precisely they used pictures, masks and various properties. They tried to highlight all the important historical figures as well as events - starting in the Celtic times continuing through several invasions to British islands with the peak of the Battle of Hastings. I really appreciate that the actors did not forget about the language development which was very closely connected with all the newcomers. The most interesting part was related to the private life of Henry VIII. The pupils could guess what had happened to his six wives. The whole play was very well structured and the pupils were involved into the plot. They seemed to enjoy the performance, moreover they got a clear historical overview which should contribute to their education.

Our trip to Barnstaple 2014

Our language trip to England started on the 20th September and we were nearly 2 weeks away. On the way there we stopped in Brussels and Bruges in Belgium and we stayed one night in a hotel in France. In the morning we crossed the sea from Calais to Dover by ferry. Before we got to our „home“ town Barnstaple, we went to see Stonehenge. There we walked around the „magic“ stones and we took lots of photos. At 6pm we arrived in Barnstaple where we met our host families.The families were very good and we liked them very much. In the mornings we had English lessons in the North Devon School of English where we learned lots of things. In the afternoons we went on trips, for example to the Atlantic coast, Lynton and Lynmouth, Exeter, Exmoor Zoo, Tintagel, Westward Ho! On Sunday we had a family day with our English families. Our family took us everywhere where we or they wanted to go.

On the way home we stopped for 9 hours in London. We walked round the city, we saw Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, the Tower of London and the famous Tower Bridge. The stop in London was amazing! At night we crossed the English Channel again and on Friday the 3rd October we arrived back in Prague.

We really enjoyed the trip and I am sure that our English is better now!
