OUR TRIP TO TAVIRA - 17/06/2010

Elena López (Comenius Student)

We were very excited this morning at the school talking about this trip until the bus came. It was a very long trip for us, because we were nervous.
When we arrived everybody was in the "Clube Nautico" (in english Nautical Club). They were waiting for us with music and very happy faces.
Monica, Cristina, Paula and I met the students who had been in Spain in our homes some months ago, Andre, Joana, Laura and Guillerme.
We were also very happy and excited because we met other students who were very funny and nices too.
Then we got in a sailing boat, it was very special and funny. At lunch, we (I mean spanish students and Alvaro, our teacher) went to Tavira´s island. We took a boat to go there, and in three minutes we were in the shore.
We crossed the island and in the beach were our schoolmates and more teachers (Mª Paz and Pepe). We had lunch and then our portugueses friends came.
We played football, rugby and volleyball and we played also in the sea. When we played rugby (almost all the players were girls) our spanish team lost, but we had fun all together. We had a very, very good time.
At 17:30 we had to go because our bus was waiting for us in Tavira. It was a very difficult moment because we didn't want to come back to Spain. We took some photos and saw them off.
On the way back we were very tired and some people were sleeping, other ones watched a comedy movie.
We came back to our school at 20:45.

Summary of the exchange to Poland.

Comenius Project : Poznán March 2010

Last April 7th the 3rd grade students of Compulsary Secondary Education from Antonio Gala school made an exchange programme with the Ryszard Kapuściǹski school, wich is located in Poznan (Poland). Eleven girl students together with three teachers from our school took part in the project.
The experience has been really positive, as the objectives we worked on home been the following ones. Using English as a means for comunications, they have learnt some Polish words, their traditions and culture (typical food, education, monuments...) We would also like to mention the visits to other cities like Gdánsk, the visit to the Baltic sea, the Malbork castle...
Within this enjoyable exchange, we were taught and we also taught them the typical dances from each city, as well as “sevillanas”.
It has been a week sharing their every day life either at home or at school. Our students adapted them selves to their way of life and they also learnt from it as Polish partipants have learnt about our life styles. But above all, they have become friends and they will meet again next year. They keep in contact by e-mail or facebook.
We must highlight the friendly welcome we were given, not only by the families, but also by our colleagues. We felt al home during our stay there.
We thank the Comenius Project for the chance to approach other languages, speak different languages and enrich ourselves. We truly families to take part in this awesome experience.

Cyprus meeting was fantastic...

First comenius experience by Lidia (Primary teacher)

Last 18th of March Amaya, Emilio, Álvaro and me arrived to Cyprus. I had never imagined that I would travel to that fabulous place. I surprised when I realized the some similar aspects that Cyprus shares with Andalusia: the weather, nice, funny and helpful people, landscapes…
We stayed at a hotel located in a small village called Kakopetria, a bit far from Nicosia, the capital. Kakopetria has a lot of narrow streets that hide old houses and cute coffee shops. We met a lot of teachers from different countries like Poland, Italy, Sicily, Portugal, of course: Danuta, Monika, Nuno, Graça,Guido, Luis, Steios, Christine, Demetra , Tula, Anne, Evrydiki (sorry but some names are very difficult for me to write and pronounce). As well as we also met some relatives of these teachers that accompanied us to visit some gorgeous places like Afrodite’s beach, the ruins of Paphos, Troodos mountains and typical taverns of Cyprus that remind me to Greece. I forgot to tell you that Cyprus is invaded by Turkish troops that stay at the northern part. It is incredible to find a church and a few meters later, find a mosque. You can also see people who wears like us and a few meters later, people who wears robes on their heads… It seemed that, you had jumped to another country: Turkey …
To sum up, I liked very much this experience, talk about education and the learning process with foreign teacher that gave me another point of view and have enriched the trip. THANK YOU SO MUCH COMENIUS!!!! I HOPE TO REPEAT!!!

Some photos about our visit to show you the marvalous activities...

Photos from Seville's Meeting

Two weeks ago we received the visit from our Comenius Friends. They were here during four days.
It was a really incredible experience, because we were with 21 teachers and 10 students, who were sleeping in our students houses.

The students arrived from Sicily, Tavira and Cyprus. We know it was a great experience for them and they learnt a lot, and not only english.

Anyway we did a lot of activities, we worked at school with differents classrooms with presentations from differents countries, we played flamenco music and Xmas music, the students talked and worked about Tolerance...

We visited Seville, Santa Cruz's District, Alcazar, Cathedral, Triana's District, Spain's Square, Maria Luisa's Park...

And the last day we visited Ronda.

We are preparing the next trip to Cyprus in March and the new netmeeting... this time with Slovenia.
