On Sunday morning 29th November my friends Valentina, Giada and I met teacher Giovanni Fascetti at the airport and together took the plane to go to the Czech Republic.
We went there thanks to the “Comenius project” .
We were very excited!
We arrived at Prague airport in the afternoon and there the project’s teachers and students from other countries were waiting for us. All together we went to Pacov, where our hosting families lived. We met the families and went home for accommodation and dinner. My hosting family was very nice and pleasing. It was composed by four people: mother, father, a child and my girl Michaela. That night I was very tired and I went to bed very soon.

We got up and went to school.
The teachers prepared an activity for us : workshop “Christmas in our Country” and we had to prepare a large sheet of paper and stick our photos that were connect to Christmas time(showing a decorated tree, typical clothes, dinner, customs..). Later we had to make a little exhibition to present it. We made friends with some Turkish boys.
When we finished, we visited the small village and we went to the A. Sova Museum, where we could learn about Pacov’s history.
In the afternoon we visited a big farm called “Selekta Pacov”. That farm produces: seeds of starch potatoes, chips and table potatoes, milk. It breeds milking cows. Later we went home for dinner and went back to school to see a film together.
