Day 2 - At Szkoła Podstawowa

Today we've learned a lot of things typical from Poland.

We woke up at 6:45 a.m. and then we had breakfast in the hotel.

At 8:20 a.m we went to school by bus. When we entered in the school the teachers had prepared a welcoming and gifted us a present. We love it!!

Later, we walked around the school to know their classes and how they work. We were very well accompanied by Victoria and Cooper, two amazing students from here.

We have attended a robotics class, where they taught us how to control robots using tablets. They were impressive, as we could manage them with controls from the tablet. Additionally, they could change color based on the program we set up and reproduce interesting sounds like human and animal emotions.

We worked in small groups with the goal of reaching all the marked points with images of famous places like the Eiffel Tower or the Sydney Opera House. At the end, we combined the boards-carpets and played in a large group. And I have to tell you a gossip. One of the robots gave me a sweet kiss.😍🙈

Our classmates Cooper and Viktoria explained everything to us very well with clear instructions. We had a great time! We even wanted to take them home with us!

Next, our collages Carla, Bruno and Jerónimo had presented some infographics about how to save water and energy.

We also went to the canteen to have lunch and try typical meals from Poland. They were yummy!!!😋

After that, we went out to visit the castle of Zamek. with Barbara, the second grade teacher. She is very nice! We've seen all the rooms of the castle and listened about their history and the people who used to live there. All explanations were given in English so it was a bit difficult for the kids to understand. Hopefully for them, I speak English very well so I could translate them some facts. The most interesting thing, at least for me, was that each room was represented by different colors and styles.

Outside the castle, we stumbled upon the old stables that belonged to the castle and also saw the current stables. Another exhibition we've viewed in the stables was a room where I counted 64 animal heads on the wall, including four preserved animal bodies (I confess it scared me a little bit). In that exposition, almost all the vintage carriages were on display.

As we were leaving to go to the castle garden, we came across a huge tree and took a photo around it, holding hands. Finally, we visited the garden and noticed that here live a lot of little drops of water like me maintaining green areas very clean, fresh and beautiful. That could be because of the good and cold weather here.

And finally, we have finished the day walking around the city center, painting, playing the piano and... singing our favorite song... It´s a crazy time!

The day has been very interesting and amazing. We are very tired and we need to sleep... ZZZZ! Bye Bye!
