Hunting for the rooster 

What’s going on with this rooster? It’s everywhere in this country: on mugs, T shirts, bags, towels, pads etc. Wherever you go, you always see the black rooster looking at you. After some time in this country, it is obvious for every tourist that it is MUST HAVE of this trip. It is a symbol of justice that will always win if you fight for it.

Portugal welcomed us with a beautiful weather and warm hearts of host families. Seia is a town located in the centre of Serra da Estrela, a natural mountain resort of Portugal. Outstanding views, steep hills and clean air took our breath away. Seia is rich of places worth seeing and people always ready to help foreigners. The host partners, did their best to keep our Portuguese memories forever.

It was time for one of local attractions near Seia, Coimbra. The previous capital city of Portugal. Coimbra, called a city of doctors, is well known as one of the oldest university centre in the world. We admired ancient library and audition halls, strolled through narrow streets of this place. Each year Coimbra resounds with FADO music at the FADO festival that gathers thousands of people. The day finished with a boat trip along the Mondego river. We had a chance to rest and took some photos of sunlight bathed  Coimbra. 

wednesday 16TH NOVEMBER 

EXERCISE THE SEIA’S OPTIONS.

Seia is the town full of natural, local attraction because of its location, in a centre of Serra da Estrela. We started our sightseeing tour with a cute train journey to the Museum of Bread. It was not only a place to learn something about a history of bread, its ways of production, but we had an opportunity to make some bread and then take it home. We were astonished by a fairytale surrounding and a cute sprat. In good moods we powered up our visit with the Museum of Electricity where students observed the process of power production. We finished our day with a long walk along the river Sra do Desterro. Its water reflected the beauty of Portuguese autumn. Hiking is popular in this area so we experienced Exercise Seia Local options in the Natural park of Serra da Estrela, in Mata da Sra do Desterro. The biologist, José Conde, who taught us about the fauna and flora and showed enthusiastically some species we found through the tracks. He took this opportunity to make us aware of the importance of respecting nature and the living species inhabiting this area.  

The evening we spent in a casual but elegant surroundings in Escola Superior de Turismo e Hotelaria where all partners and students involved in the project spent an evening accompanied with live music. Apart from delicious food, small talks and good music, we danced until midnight and had a real fun.

SEPTEMBER 2016, Family Bikes Riding Month - Gim2 TRZEBINIA POLAND

 SEPTEMBER with Family on the Move .

Spending time with the family is very important in today's hectic life. This time, spent happily in the company of people you love, acts as one of the best stress busters.

Time with the family is worth effort and devotion. Being together with loving people lowers blood pressure and builds high self esteem of the young.

Being fit and sporty is not only the matter of prefect look and health. It is a great tool to build good relations between parents and children. Sport makes the generation gap invisible

During the month despite the rainy weather the students and parents took part in a family bike rally. Participants defeated the distance of over 20 km, traversing scenic areas Dulowa Forest. 

 In September we inaugurated another season  of trips in the course of  ERASMUS+ School Tourist Club. We hiked in the Salisian Beskid and managed to reach two peaks -  Klimczok and Szyndzielna. It was a great chance to get tired, relax and have a healthy project family meal in a mountain shelter together.

Instead of  spending time sitting in front of a computer screen or  just simply doing nothing, encourage your parents to go for a walk, ride a bike or do any sport together.

June 2016 : FUNNY SPORTS MONTH - GIM2 Trzebinia POLAND

                                            FUNNY SPORTS - SPORTS FOR EVERYONE

Whether you're with friends or by yourself, there's always heaps of ways to get active and have fun!

Just one can be fun 

Being by yourself gives you time to practice stuff so you get better.  If you play a sport, why not practice some of the skills?  If you play handball, you can practise goal shooting or passing and catching against a brick wall. 

Other things you can do:

Hopscotch ,Make up a dance, Skateboarding, Hula hoop, Bike riding, Fly a kite, Juggling, Tennis against a wall, Rollerskating

With two there’s even more to do

It’s great fun to hang out with a friend – plus there’s even more activities you can do when there’s two of you. Together you could:

Jump rope, Play one-on-one basketball, Try badminton, with or without a net, Have a table tennis tournament, Make up a cheerleading song and dance

Look for more funny unusual sports ideas

When there are a lot of you

         Lots of sports and games work best when there is a group of kids.   

This month  in GIM2 TRZEBINIA we promoted group sports and leisure activities. 

A group of ERASMUS + students  has reached  UP TO THE SKY

17 students accompanied by two PhE teachers  took part in one week long hiking camp to Polish Tatra mountain. They won with their fears  and made a great physical fitness progress. From day to day they climbed higher and higher peaks, the crossings lasted an average of 6 hours per day. Finally on the last day they were able to  climb one of the finest and most recognizable mountain in Poland- Giewont in just 2.5h !!!!!  Practice makes perfect!!!

After tiring walking tours the students enjoyed the time in the aquaparks. Speeding down the slides, or benefitting from wellness they enjoyed shared moments in thermal baths which are popular in Podhale region 

      In June, on the occasion of Children's Day, annual traditions in GIM2 Trzebinia school playground took place - School Sports Day. Each class took part in the competition in four disciplines: football, volleyball, throws into the basket and relay. Great fun but also challenging sports.
