Discover Cracow

Wednesday, 25th November

The last day of our project meeting.

It’s time to say goodbye

But still one more chance to make a move and take
an ‘Activity & Eating' challenge.

Experience Krakow through the eyes of Polish partners.

Explore its cultural heritage, enjoy the beauty of the architecture of the city considered to be the most beautiful in Poland.

And of course to taste the local cuisine . . .

It was a dream weather for sightseeing - sunny, no clouds, no wind only the temperature definitely not the Mediterranean. We decided on the most popular in this frosty season Melex guided city tour. We visited the most important Sites of Old Town, Jewish Quarter in the District of Kazimierz - the historical Jewish part of Krakow.

We enjoyed the city atmosphere in the best company ever after.

We will come back there in a wider project team company during the students exchange in May 2017 for sure. There are so many places haven’t been seen yet.

Thank you Dears for being here in Poland. We are making the good team with the common aim to reach:

The last presentation was enriched with a dance show. The second and third grade students presented a dance show. The first was an aerobic one. The second was an individual jazz dance.

To inaugurate and promote the project A&E among students and local community each partner of the project invited students to take part in two competitions: the competition for a logo of the project and for a film promoting a school. In our school the project team encouraged students to face the competitions and it was the time to give awards to the winners. We are very proud that after partners’ voting the Polish logo became the official sign of the project A&E.

To make project activities more effective and far reaching we organized wide variety of competitions. All our students and students from primary schools in Trzebinia were the receivers of these actions. The aims were:

- To promote knowledge about Trzebinia and partners’ countries

- To extend respect and an attachment to own country, region, family on the one side, but also tolerance to other countries and their cultures.

- Students made works in four categories: literary, art, geography and history. Students were asked to describe the most interesting place in Europe, prepare recipes, draw European buildings and show the beauty of European landscapes. In the geographical competition they introduced the most interesting places in the country, region, named tourist attractions in Europe. Those, keen on history, create the album of customs and traditions in Europe. They described monuments and legends of European countries.

The teachers responsible for a realization of these tasks were asked to give the prizes. Those teachers were as follows:

Mrs Anetta Świerczek-Sumera- a Polish and History teacher, Mrs Katarzyna Paluch- a Polish teacher, Mrs Iwona Leś- Kubik- a Geography and IT teacher and Miss Marta Pliszka- an Art teacher.
There were over sixty students and their teachers to be given prizes.

At the end we had fun to see a Polish, German and English school drama titled: Respect Health- Eat Healthier or Marlenka’s Short Story. This show referred to the Erasmus+ topic, indeed.

The main character of this story, Marlenka, a girl, ate badly, did not do any sport. She preferred to be a couch potato and eat junk food. Thanks to real friends she decided to change her mind and promised to eat healthier and practice some sports.

This students’ drama presentation was conducted by teachers of English and German: Mrs Aleksandra Stefańska and Mrs Joanna Seręga. Twenty students acted in this drama. It was their first show in our school because they are the first grade students. Thanks to their effort, creativity and a good sense of humor, even if it was mainly in Polish, we could get a meaning from gestures and props J.

…. I have forgotten about one crucial thing… Marlena was not a girl (for those who did not catch it J )
