Neco

Friday, time to go swim. The weather was perfect and we all had swimming clothes so we decided to go swim. The water was so cold. Lovisa was the first person that put her head underwater but she could not stand more. Ottilia, Elin, Wilma and I jumped into water and swim and played with waves. Martin and Åsa wanted to stay outside. Then, martin and I wrote SWEDEN with big letter from stones. We also wrote Comenius. We took pictures, we become wet, we enjoyed a lot.

Thursday, we were on the way of new school that there were students from 10 years old to 14 years old. One English teacher guided us. He introduced first around school, explained school system, how to teach English, about library, computer room, and he played to us also some songs with his music club. We had chance to see also English lecture with 11 years old children. Teacher was a bit nervous because we were in the class 3 teacher and 4 children. She allowed students to ask questions about ourselves. Then, we learned that they would go England for one-day trip for Friday. It is like one-day trip to Denmark. It takes two hour to visit England. We observed teacher and lecture. First time I saw a French teacher who was not strict but they have still this funny Parisian accent when they speak English. After this new school, we came back to Oust Marest. Children wanted to show us some performance about personalities, which we worked in the project. Oldest children of the school started to sing from Roxette, It must have been love. I took movie and I will show you later. School finished and we were ready to realize last working session. Time to speak about Swedish festivity, Midsummer. I presented midsummer with pictures and PowerPoint. Lovisa and Åsa helped me to explain details about midsummer. We showed the movie that our children did and Nora recorded about three dances. We finished our working sessions with gifts from French group. Dinner was near the cost and vision was panoramic. We took pictures, we gave flowers to French team and we laughed a lot. It was time to go party hehe. We wanted to play bowling but it was closed. Some of countries would go home early so they went to sleep. Åsa slept also early. Lovisa and I stayed a bit longer to collect all pictures and videos. We played card games and then went to sleep too.

Amiens and Le Treport

Wednesday, It was the day that I should write my report for Lund University so I stayed in hotel until 18:00 and others were in Amiens. Children made ice-skating, adults had bout trip around fantastic gardens (I saw pictures). We met for dinner near the hotel. After dinner, we decided to go for a walk to Le Treport. When I saw the Sea I could not stop to touch water. So I jumped to beach to contact with water. Then, Lovisa and Wouter came. We took several pictures, enjoyed beach. But, we got lost (no no). Others left us there. We tried to find them and after two phone conversations we found French group. They said they wanted to go up but they could not do that because lift was not working. Thus, we decided to go hotel on foot. When we arrived to hotel, we were exhausted and ready to sleep.

Tuesday, another day started earlier around 8.50. By the way, we did not want to have breakfast in the hotel but breakfast was really great in the hotel so we changed our mind. School started with stations (activities). There were 75 French children and 17 visitor children. These children were divided into 10 groups. Each group visited one station for 15 minutes. Activity stations were different; namely, dance, kub, pizza, flag, crossword, Esher, geography, etc… whole morning we engaged with these stations. In my station, we danced a lot. Lovisa teach how to play Kub. Åsa was responsible of crossword. In the afternoon, we had free time to see around EU. Then, we started again working session, which we talked about progress report for National agency. We also decided 4 questions to evaluate first year. Every country also presented what they did until France mobility. We watched also short movie about Swedish mobility. It was like a summery of our mobility. We became tried and we were so hungry. Parents prepared barbeque and we prepared tables. When the dinner was ready, you could see the three parts of the society in different tables (children, parents, and teachers). We ate together; we sing together, we danced together.

Monday, it was the first day to start Comenius work but we had time to see around the hotel first. We came school around 11. Parents were so active and helpful to bring us to school and preparing food for us. It was official opening. French children prepared and showed us several activities, we also worked about magazine (comegenius). Cristina created great magazine with the help of partner countries. The day finished with dinner which we ate great foods. Many people were tired especially Italians because they arrived Monday morning. They went sleep first.

Travel To France 2010 June

After Oslo, Paris was the first destination for me. I arrived Saturday and I waited for Swedish team for Sunday in Airport. Lovisa, Åsa, Martin, Wilma, Elin and Ottilia appeared in front of Orly airport departure gate. Wow, we completed as a Swedish team. Time to get all 7 big luggages as well as back packs. They were so heavy but we were strong like Turk hehe.

My friend helped to go Paris center. We got Bus, Train, Metro one by one, and then we arrived Gare De Nord. We were ready to go Oust Marest. But our stomach was ringing and we wanted to eat real food near to station in a restaurant. Buffalo restaurant was perfect with meat for us and omelet for Lovisa. We sit together like circle and it took almost 2 hour to eat. We did not eat slowly; on the contrary, they served the food slowly. We were full; no need toilet, luggage in our hands and ready to take train to EU (read like Ö). We did three hours trip but we did not feel bored because we decided to make short movie about participants from Poland, Slovenia and us in the train. We prepared simple questions and Ottilia and Elin asked to teachers and students. I had camera to record all moments.
