Today we went to breakfast and then everyone did different activities. Some people went cycling, some played tennis and others played football and hockey.

Then all the kids went rafting.

As you probably know, on the 16th of March a great number of our students took part in the Mathematical Kangaroo (an international math contest). All of them did very well and showed a good level.
Today, on the 6th of June, we didn’t wake up in our hotel rooms as usual. Instead, we opened our eyes in a wooden shack at the top of the mountains, which we had hiked to yesterday. It has been a very tiring walk, because we have had to carry all our luggage on our backs.
Today at Green Camp we split into two groups. The first group, (year 4 and up) went on a hiking trip into the mountains where they spent the night. You will hear all about their adventure in tomorrow’s email but there are a few pictures attached to give you an idea of their day.
Another fun day at the Green Camp went by. Today’s news are from Wiktor, Michal and Vlad.
Today we had a lovely, active day. Everyday we will be sending children’s testimonies with some photos for you to see. Here are few words from Sarah M and Sara S.
During their lessons, Lower Secondary pupils have learned about the features of a heart. After absorbing theory, the time came for practice.
The members of the Polish Club in our school had an opportunity to use their language skills by taking part in a project called “Piszę do Ciebie list”. They were writing letters and postcards to Polish kids who live in Ireland and study in the Polish Supplementary School in Newry. The letters are posted, and now our learners are waiting for an answer.
Every year Pola Nadziei (Fields of Hope) raise funds for the St Lazarus Hospice in Nowa Huta. The symbol of their campaign is the daffodil. Every year they have a competition for children to create a piece of art which symbolises the campaign, and hope.

Ms. Aga, our secondary science specialist, arranged a guided tour about the fossils and animals found in Poland that date back to prehistoric times.
On 12th of May our school celebrated its first International Day. Though the day came and went very quickly, everyone involved were preparing for weeks in advance. Through classroom projects focusing on exotic faraway places we learned about distant and different cultures.
