Helge on the farm


I spent a weekend on a farm. People here work very hard this time because the fields and gardens are getting ready for the winter. It is extremly warm here, nearly 20 degrees Celsius!! I helped with picking nuts and met new friends - rabbits. Many families have rabbits as household animals, not pets.

Halloween in Dub 3

I was a bit scared to meet all those monsters in school corridors, so I had to hide behind a pumpkin and rest a bit. There was a globe nearby and I started planning my another trip, this time to Poland. As I could see, it is a short way!

Halloween in Dub 2




On Friday 31st October I visited two classes. It was scary! So many witches and monsters.......Children here do not go trick or treat but have parties at some schools, play games and wear masks. Also some of the teachers had masks.

I was surprised to see that in Dub school the boys from 9th grade make Halloween tea for a whole school. And it was really good, with lots of fresh fruit!

We had great fun in Dub nad Moravou. We played and worked, worked and played. We were invited to celebrate the 18th birthday as well as 70th birthday. We played badminton, computer games or matches. We enjoyed watching Czech TV programmes and films. We also rode a horse. We gave the highest marks to all activities organised by the Czech partners. Unfortunately it was time to say Goodbye! to our Czech and Swedish friends. Luckily we will be happy to say AHOY! in May 2009. So see you soon!

We were surprised how many beautiful churches you can see in Czech republic. The Polish priest in the Czech church is a good example of Europe without borders.

Základní škola a Mateřská škola Dub nad Moravou is much older and smaller than Polish but it has a very nice atmosphere. "A Slice of Bread" project can be seen everywhere: in classes and corridors.
