Like last time with Iceland, we arranged our Poland-week as activity days where we mixed all classes and groups at school. Only 1-and 2years old children had separate activities, everyone else from 3- 12 took part in the same classes. This is something we do every year with different topics, but during the Comenius project, our topic is partner countries and their schools.

220 children at all ages are divided into groups named after cities in Poland: Warszawa, Krakow, Lublin and Swidnik. The groups rotates through 4 main activities: Polish school lesson. Arts and Crafts, PE and Maths.
Mathematics is fun when you can play it!
A popular post was Polish school lesson, where headmaster Øivin opened a kiosk in the 10-minute break.Normally candy is not welcome at school, but today was different!
This is a part of Polish school the children appriciated! The childrens had 5 zloty each to spend, and only limited openinghours.
Very happy pupils bought very expensive lollipops! "But it was worth it"- they said.
Also the teacher lined up to spend some zloty!
We saw the movie "Track a child" made by Swidnik team in Poland. We compared what was similar and what was different.

The teachers who had visited Swidnik got a lot of ideas to try out at school. We tried out many of them during Polish Week, and the results are now displayed in our halls.
