TRIP TO SPAIN

Our former student, Otto sent me a letter about his Comenius trip to Spain, which he made with his schoolmates.
At present Otto is studying in Rannu Secondary School.
Thank you very much for sharing your exciting moments abroad.

Otto`s letter:
Hello! My name is Otto and i would like to tell you a little tale about my trip to Spain.It all started on a sunny morning, about 7:30 am. We went to Riia's National Airport, where I had my first airborn with a plane. It was Boeing 737-800 (don't know, if its necessary, but its the closest thing i remember, to the planes details). There i made my first mistake: i ordered a 150 ml fanta and a cheese burger, it cost 6.80 euros (about 105 kr.).We arrived in London Stanstead airport, where we had our first problem: the ashcloud blocked the airline to Girona Barcelona, so we needed somewhere to stay for the night. We found the perfect place. Some hostel, named "Uha". I got my private room, where the others had to sleep in the rooms of 6.In the mornign we had the famous, English Breakfest. The strangest thing was, that if i wanted to have a bacon, i had to dry it from the grease, before i put it on my plate.We started our sightseeing with the Tower Bridge, then we went to see the Tower of London, after that we saw the Big Ben, then the famous Saint Paul's Cathedral. Some of us had a chance to ride the London Eye, while some of us (like me) waited them to give us the tickets to the 3D cinema.The next night we had to sleep on the cold floors of the airport, i broke my back at least 10 times, before i could stand up from my disturbing slumber.About 7:00 am, the plane left to Girona Barcelona's National Airport. We arrived about 10:00 am and after that we saw our hosts. We put out bags into a VERY small car (we had trouble loading it) and went on the beach for some sunbathing and swimming.After that was a BIG party, where all danced and had a good time, except for me, because i can't dance in the night clubs of such sort. I felt a little sad about thta, so i went home (their home) and had a good night sleep.In the morning we went sightseeing. Dont exactly remember where, but you get the picture.The last night i remember iven the smallest details, because i had a very good time. Thats all I can tell you about the night, because its classified.The next morning we went straight to the airport and flew straight home (well we had to stay at London Stanstead Airport too). We arrived in Rannu about 1:00 am and i got home about 1:30 am. I was tired and went straight to bed.This was my trip to Spain, but theres much more to talk about this trip, than i wrote here, so dont wait for the little details about this trip.

LAST WEEKS IN KONGUTA SCHOOL

For Eleri, Ranor, Piia, Ljuda, Karl-Erik, Liis-Mirjam, Daniel, Tamer and Tom these three weeks are last in Konguta School. Next autumn they will be the students of other schools.
Now it`s time to look back and remember all the things we have done together.

Read about what the sixth-formers think of Konguta School:

I like Konguta School because it is very cosy, small and friendly. There are six classes in our school and 55 students. Here are good and helpful teachers. We have travelled a lot. We have been to camps, the islands and other places of Estonia. We are going on a school trip to Hiiumaa next week. The students of Konguta School are smart and peaceful.

Konguta School is very modern but small. The teachers of Konguta are very active, smart and helpful. I like to help other children and teachers.

I like Konguta School because it`s small and I have many friends in here. I like to learn here because we have small classes and we have a nice media room where we can use laptops. We can also use the Smart board in our lessons. Teachers in our school are mostly nice but sometimes they are mad.

I like Konguta School because it`s cosy. It is beige and blue. We have a large gym. This is my favourite school. I live near my school and it takes a little time to get here. Here are good teachers. My favourite lesson is English because I can learn a lot of new words.

There are always many exciting things to do in our school. We have travelled a lot and we always can take part in interesting events.

EAST OR WEST, HOME IS BEST!

What is the best place in the world? - Home, of course.

Here are some English proverbs(vanasõnad) about home:

Home is where the heart is.

There is no place like home.

An Englishman's home is his castle.

In your home there are several rooms - living room, bedroom, dining room, kitchen. But the cosiest room is definitely your own room. The room where you can be alone and do whatever you want to.

The students from form 4 wrote and made a plan of their own rooms.

In my room there is a bed in the corner. There is a carpet in the middle of the room. I like to play on it. My room has one window. When I sit at my desk, I can look out of it. My favourite toys are in the chest of drawers and in the cupboard. On the cupboard there is my TV. My room is lovely and cosy.
Aveli

In my room there is a carpet in the middle. There is a bed in the corner of my room. There is a desk by the window. On the desk, there is a lamp and my laptop. Krisete

This is my future room. My future room is like a house. There are three rooms in my big room. In one room I can study, in the other room I can sleep and in the third room I can have a shower. I like my future room. Enriko

In my room there are books on my desk. There`s a lamp on the cupboard. There`s a rug in the middle of the room. My bed is opposite the cupboard. Anneli

My room is next to the living room. In my room there are two beds and one wardrobe. Next to the bed there is a desk. The TV is opposite my bed. I like my room. Maria

WHAT WE HAVE DONE.....

In form 4 we talked and wrote about favourite seasons. Some students created nice spring acrostic poems.

......I like summer because I like the sun and swimming. I can play with my friends because it`s a holiday. Maria

......I like spring very much because my birthday is on 22nd April. I love catkins, they are lovely.

Meija-Meely

.....My favourite season is summer because then children don`t go to school. In summer there are so many beautiful flowers. I can pick them and put in the vase. Aveli

....I like summer. I enjoy the bright sun. I go to the countryside for my holiday. My and my father`s birthday is in summer. We all love birthday parties.

Marianne, Helen and Taimar from form 3 wrote and drew about their favourite animals.
