THE POLISH WEEK IN PESCARA

We had a great time with our Polish Week from 2nd to 5th November!

First of all we showed the places we visited in Ostroleka, the school and the Museum,

about Poland and its history...

... and many interesting places in Warsaw and its Museum.

Then we showed some Polish traditions and we tried to make paper flowers and

Wycinanka, coloured cut-outs.

We watched a Polish movie and on the last day, after the presentation of certificates

to Melissa and Sara, we celebrated all together talking about

Polish cuisine and tasting its sweet specialities...

...and watching this short movie about our experience in Poland:

OPENING OF THE QUIZ ON LINE

I FORGOT TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE QUIZ ON LINE WAS OPENED. I PUBLISHED THE OPENING OF THE QUIZ ON THE STUDENTS' FORUM BUT NOT ON THE TEACHERS' BLOG.


THE DEADLINE TO UPLOAD THE QUIZZES WAS YESTERDAY, SO, IF ANY TEAM FORGOT TO DO IT, PLEASE, COULD THEY LOAD THE QUESTIONNAIRE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE?


I HAD PROBLEMS TO UPLOAD A HTML FILE ON THE BLOG. THE POLISH TEAM MANAGED TO DO IT WITH THE HELP OF THEIR ITC TEACHER. THEY HAD TO CONNECT THE FILE TO THE POLISH SCHOOL WEBPAGE. AS I DIDN'T HOW TO TO IT, THE POLISH TEAM ALSO UPLOADED THE SPANISH QUESTIONNAIRE  CONNECTED TO THE POLISH SCHOOL WEBPAGE.
