English competition 2009

Like every year our school organised a competition in English which took place on the 8th and 10th December 2009. The competition was for the 7th grade (the younger category) and the 8th+9th grades (the older category). It consisted of two parts - listening and talking on the chosen topic. First we had to listen to the tape and then complete a paper with questions. The first part was based on the listening, the second one was correcting mistakes. After that we had to wait for the talking part. First of all the teachers asked us to introduce ourselves (hobbies, character, etc.). Then we had to choose a topic and talk about it for a couple of minutes. If we didn´t know what else to say, they just asked us some additional questions about the given topic. I think that it was quite nice and I really enjoyed it.

Dann sind wir durch die Stadt gegangen, und haben viele Sehenswürdigkeiten gesehen. Zum Beispiel Frauenkirche. Uns haben die lebenden Statuen interessiert. Dann sind wir zum Weihnachtsmarkt gegangen, und haben viele Weihnachtsgeschenke gekauft. Wir sind nach Hause glücklich zurück gefahren.

Our trip to England 2009

From 19th September to 2nd October we were on the trip to England. It was interesting, beautiful and we had a lot of fun.
We travelled to England a long time. First, we travelled across Germany to Belgium where we stopped to look round a very beautiful city Brugge. Then we went to France to Dunkerque and there we slept one night. Early in the morning we sailed by ferry to Dover and we drove on to see Stonehenge. After Stonehenge we went on to meet host families who were waiting for us in Barnstaple. In Barnstaple we went to school every day. It wasn´t a real school building, it was a modern church, but we used it like school.
We visited loads of beautiful places. We had a family day, too. It was a day when kids went with their families to some places which they wanted to see. During our stay in England we also had a town tour, we saw the Atlantic coast, Exeter, Tintagel, Westward Ho!, Lynton and Lynmouth, we played games in the sports centre and went to a fun park Milky Way. It was the best!! There were lots of slides, rollercoasters, dodgem cars, a spooky castle and lots of other things. At Tintagel we saw King Arthur´s castle and a show about the story of King Arthur. We also saw the round table.
On the way back home we stopped in London. We visited the Tower of London, we saw Tower Bridge, Big Ben and many other London landmarks.

IT WAS A VERY BEAUTIFUL TRIP!!!

Skiing trip 7.B

On 14th February we went by bus on our skiing trip. Before we got to Herlíkovice, we were on the bus full of expectations and also happy that we would cut school for one week. At that moment some of us did not know what was waiting for them. After all-day skiing in Herlíkovice, the fateful evening came. Two girls came down with flu and they had to go back home. On Tuesday another of us was on turn. It started to be critical. There were only 16 of us. Wednesday was without problems and we fully enjoyed amazing skiing conditions for both down-hill and cross-country skiing. However, Thursday damaged it again. Another ill participant went home, together with her friend-gymnast who had to go training. Suddenly, it was Friday, nearly the end, the day of skiing races. But it would not be a „normal“ day without waving goodbye. One of us was picked up by his parents because they went on a skiing trip together. Although there were only 13 of us, the final disco didn´t miss us. Saturday = departure is here. There are only few of us, two need to take pills, and we are going home to Prague. Despite all the problems, we enjoyed the trip very much!!
