Ciao a tutti! Here I am! In Italy!

I can ski!!!

Nearby there are beautiful mountains called "Alpi". As I have a chance I'll go there.

Look at me! 

I know, I'm using a pair of rulers and a pair of pencils but they work!

Let's start the race!

Even if there isn't much snow, it's funny!

I like making a snowman.

Let's find the difference! Can you see it?

After playing outside now I'm not well.

Maybe I've got the flu. Or rather, I've got a cold.

Oh no, I've got a cough and a sore throat, too.

Can I have a cough syrup, please? 

Or rather, I'd like some throat pills, please.

How much are they?

They're 7 euro, please.

Let's make a orange juice…

...and here I'm drinking a cup of tea with some biscuits.

Fancy that!! Another traveller! It's Gucio from Poland! Nice to meet you!

I visited a fourth grade class, too. Here the pupils are studying the family. So, I told them about my sister.

Gugio, look at that atlas, we can see "Piemonte", this local region in the north of Italy.

It's time to go for me! I must fly away! Thank you everybody for your hospitality!

Goodbye Quacky!! We hope to see you soon again!!! Take care!!

Hola, I'm in Spain

As you can see I learnt to say "hello" in Spanish.

I have just arrived here, look at Tarrio School It's nice.Isn't It?

and there are a lot of trees around. This place is fantastic!

but the best thing of all are ... THE STUDENTS

they are  so nice and friendly.

These days they are preparing a Christmas Festival.

Michelle, Sheila, Janina and Lucia  invited me to a rehearsal.

The festival was amazing! They sung carols in Spanish and Galician ( it's a language spoken in the Northwest of Spain-Galicia )and danced...we had a good time!!!!

and then..Christmas holidays from December 21 to January 8

Students decided that a could fly from one  home to another along this time.

                                                                                        My first stop was Michelle's house.

I was a while the star of their Christmas tree.

Here I am in Michelle's bedroom next to a beautiful Nativity Scene.

My second stop was Sheila's house

Father Crhistmas gave her a lot of presents .

 

I was playing video games

I was playing football. Did you know that Spain won the last Football World Cup hosted in SouthAfrica?

 
My third stop is Lucias's house

Here I was warmly welcomed by a "special" Father Christmas

 Here I am next to a basket with typical Christmas food: "turrón"(nougat candy),"polvorones"(crumbly shortbread),marzipan,..

By the way,in Spanish, Christmas Eve is called "La Noche Buena," literally translated as "The Good Night."

Here I am in another Nativity scene.

 

 

 

besides, Lucía decorated her house with a Christmas tree

and a wreath












On 5 January Spain celebrates the end of Christmas with a great party where everybody gives and receives presents. It is to celebrate the arrival of the Three Wise Men - Melchior Caspar and Balthazar .

There are lots of processions of the Three Wise Men in each city, the children go along with there parents to see the kings and receive sweets from them.

Before going to sleep, children put some milk and biscuits next to the Christmas tree for the Three Kings and some water for their camels. They also leave out their best pair of shoes to be filled with presents.

On the next day, 6 January children wake up and see how many presents they have received. If they have been good, they will find a lot of good presents but if they have been naughty they will find coal. These days, the coal is actually made of sugar, but some years ago it was real coal.



 

That night I went to sleep earlier

and next morning I also had a present

Nice pupils

Now we are playing in the playground. It's a gym. I want my muscles to grow big! It was fun to play here!

The girls are so nice to me.:)

These are houses for birds. Maybe I'll fly here for my holidays?

Now we are in front of the school. The trip was great. It's time to leave Poland . Bye!

Me in Poland

Oh I have been so busy...so I didn´t have time to write but I have been to Poland too, Here are many pictures from my trip there.

Me and the students from school in Tychy went on a trip to Old Tychy.

It's cold so the fountain is empty - we have to wait for the water till the spring comes.

You can see the fountain with three others and the church of Saint Maria Magdalena - the oldest church in the town, from 17th century.

I'm trying to call Finland, but Siw is busy.

Now we are near the Small Theatre.

This is Baczyński Square. Krzysztof kamil Baczyński was Polish poet who wrote during the Second World War and died in Warsaw Uprising. Here we are reading his poems on the Poetry Boxes. The poems are written in Polish and Braille.

This is the fontain. It's impressive and charming. Behind us you can see Andromeda - It was a big cinema Now it is renovated. It's going to be a passage with a small cinema, cafes, museum and art gallery.
More pictures are coming soon!
