Hi Radka!
My name's Vimala and I'm 15. I will write something about me. I live in quite a big town, Jastrzebie Zdroj. I live with my Mum, two older sisters and older brother, as you see, I'm the youngest. We live in a terraced house, which is big enough for us and our two cats. I like school, my favourite subjects are: Biology and English. In my spare time, I like going out with my friends, or sometimes I prefer to listen to music or just read a book. Speaking about food, I really enjoy eating. I love vegetables as well as meat; and at home, everybody can cook very well and we often experiment with food. We like to try different cuisine of the world. I love sweets (chocolate is my favourite). I don't like sea food and herrings, but I'm open for new tastes. And speaking about music, I cannot imagine my life without it. At home we listen to almost everything. I'm a very optimistic person, and some people say that I'm spontaneous. I'm open for people and new experience, I enjoy every moment of my life, and I'm really looking forward to meeting you
Vimala.

Przedszkole Nr 26 w Jastrzębiu Zdroju jest naszym Partnerem Stowarzyszonym. Nauczycielkom i dzieciom spodobał się nasz projekt „Kromka chleba”. Dzieci chciały dowiedzieć się, co przedszkolaki w innych krajach mogą zobaczyć ze swoich okien. Polskie dzieci zaprosiły węgierskie i czeskie, aby przyłączyły się do nich poprzez Internet i pokazały im swoje rodziny, sale, zabawki, place zabaw i interesujące miejsca. Projekt Comenius zatytułowany OKNO został zaakceptowany przez Narodowe Agencje w Warszawie, Budapeszcie i Pradze. Wczoraj odbyła się oficjalna uroczystość otwarcia projektu. Dzieci śpiewały piosenki po polsku i angielsku oraz tańczyły tańce ludowe. Powitały partnerów w ich językach. Wszyscy zaproszeni goście byli pod wrażeniem. Rodzice ofiarowali ogromny tort ozdobiony flagami i symbolem programu Comenius. Był naprawdę smaczny!

The Comenius project called WINDOW was accepted by the National Agencies in Warsaw, Budapest and Prague. Yesterday there was a ceremony of the official opening of the project.

Polish Associated Partners

Pre-school No26 in Jastrzębie Zdrój is our associated partner. Teachers and children liked the idea of our Comenius project “A Slice of Bread”. The children wanted to find out what kids in other European countries can see out of their windows. Polish pre-school invited Hungarian and Czech children to join them via the Internet and show them their families, their rooms, toys, playgrounds and many interesting places.

Czech tongue twisters

Here are some well known Czech tongue twisters with their English meaning. The most difficult sound in Czech language is ř - which is R with a wedge. We use this sign ˇ above s, z, c, t, d and n to soften these consonants. Good luck with Czech pronunciation!

Strč prst skrz krk.
Push a finger through the throat.
Třista třicet tři stříbrných stříkaček stříkalo přes třista třicet tři stříbrných střech.
333 silver fire engines shot over 333 silver roofs.
Měla babka vrabce v kapse,
Vrabec babce v kapse píp,
Zmáčkla babka vrabce v kapse,
Vrabec babce v kapse chcíp.
An old lady had a bird in her pocket and it peeped, she squeezed the bird and it died.

Já rád játra, ty rád játra.
I like livers, you lile livers.

Nenaolejuje-li koleje Julie, naolejuji je sám.
If Julie doesn´t oil the rails, I´ll oil them myself.
Petře, nepřepepři pepřem toho vepře.
Peter, don´t over-pepper that hog with pepper.

A day together

At Torskolan it´s a tradition that the 9 graders plan for an activity day together

welcome them to school.
