Monday 13th April 2015

Today we have met at 09:00 at the GBZA   to attend some lessons. First we have met in a classroom with our Slovac friends and we have played an introduction game which has been very funny.




Our first lessons have been English in groups of different levels, from the advance to the intermediate levels.
Our advance class has been with the oldest students of the school and the teacher Imrich Milo. We have done a speaking lesson about comparing Spanish to Slovac facts. It's been an interesting activity, where we have learnt a lot of things about this country: government, typical food, national sports, castles, population, etc...



And our last class has been a Maths class in Spanish about mathematical and geometric progressions. Look at their faces!



After a short guide around the building, we have got on the bus to go to Rajecká Lesná. Here we have seen a wood bethlem with moving figures and representing different parts of the country. It needs five engines to move the whole moving part.





On our way to Bojnice, we have gone throuhg one village called Čičmany  it is know by its painted wood houses which have a symbolic and historical meaning.
Houses with ridge roofs, galleries and pointed or lineal decorations have been preserved in Čičmany. Of particular interest are the very specific white patterns which are painted on the exterior walls of the houses to decorate them. 




Then we have headed to Bojnice Castle. It is a medieval castle, It is a Romanis castle with some original Gothic and Renaissance elements built in the 12th century. Bojnice Castle is one of the most visited castles in Slovakia, receiving hundreds of thousands of visitors every year and also being a popular filming stage for fantasy movies. 



Susanna has been our guide and she had told us lots of interesting stories and legends related to the castle. It's been very exciting and funny. We have been really scared in a few occasions!
But this is a different story...








And the ghost of the black lady came to visit:


Finally we visited the cave, with stories of mysteries and hidden passages:


5 comentaris:

  1. Inside the Bojnice Castle all were scared because the teacher told us that it will be scary. In the castle all the students were together just in case that somebody scare us. Everything in there was big and there were a lot of pictures. Outside the castle was beautiful and enormous. At the end all the students were screaming for the scary castle.

In the school we played with the students of Slovakia. We met all students; they were very fun and nice. This day also we went to one castle. It was very fun because in the castle people did scares.

  5. This day was a sad day but also a very funny one. We started the day taking as much paper as we need to go to the toilet and then saying as much facts about ourselves as paper we took. Then we went to two different classrooms of the school. They were interesting. After that we went to Rajecká Lesná, where we saw a wood bethlem with moving figures. It was amazing. But in the evening we went to the castle where we did my favorite activity: we visited a haunted castle! I laughed a lot and I had a great time with my friends.
