A trip to a coalmine.

On 17th November our students visited a coalmine in Dąbrowa Górnicza.
We have known the work of the coalminers nowadays and in the past.



We were under the ground and we saw miners` tools which they used during their work.
The trip was really interesting and very useful in our work in Comenius.

HELLO EVERYBODY ! from San Bassano, Italy

Sorry we are so late in posting our news but we had some troubles with computers.
We had important celebrations in Italy on the first of November: people  usually remember their beloved ones with civil and religious ceremonies but this year we also commemorate the 150th Anniversary of the Italian Republic ( 1861-2011) so this was the occasion to celebrate all those who gave their lives for the freedom of our country. Special military corps representatives brought flags to the tombs of the soldiers who died in the wars.
In every village we have such a celebration.
After it, usually on a cold and windy day, people go home and, where an old granny is still able to cook, they have a traditional dish made with black eyed beans and pork skin ( fagiolini con le cotiche ), served hot with crusty bread. Not everybody likes it, especially the youngs, but it is a part of North Italian culture.

Bye, Cristina from San Bassano

Hello from Class 3, Stoke Prior School

This weekend many of us are going to go to Firework and Bonfire parties.  We celebrate Bonfire night on 5th November every year.  Many many years ago, a man called Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament but luckily the plot was discovered and Guy and his friends were killed.  Bonfires were lit all over the London area to celebrate the saving of the King.  Still today, we traditionally light bonfires on 5th November and have fireworks.  We dress up warm and have sparklers.  This week we have drawn firework pictures using chalk.  We will post some photos of our pictures for you soon.

We have written this email together as a class.  Sending you all our best wishes.

Mrs Lancaster and all of Class 3.
