HELLO FROM RYBNIK


CZEŚĆ! (Hello!)
We’re students from the SOS-W (special education care centre) in Rybnik.
There are four integrated parts of the SOS-W:

· kindergarten
· primary school no. 7
· secondary school no. 15
· dormitory
In the current school year there are around 130 pupils/students and about 40 teachers altogether.
We like our PE classes a lot. Twice a week we go to the swimming pool. We’re keen on swimming and aqua aerobics. During PE lessons at school we often dance, play a jump rope game and various games with colourful Klanza scarf .



Besides lessons, a lot of occasional parties are organized in our school. Yesterday we dressed up for a Halloween party. We danced and took part in funny Halloween activities (e.g. game
with balloons).

Vattunöden

One day, we were going to Vattenoden(I don’t know how to spell it on English exactly).
We rid a bus, and then we walked to a house, were we met some people. We talked a bit, and then my group walked with a man  who’s name was Olof. We walked trough the forest and came to a place were there was a house for 100 years ago. And Olof showed us a big cliff, and we had to be careful. He told us why the cliff’s name was Lastberget. Then Olof showed us in witch direction north, south, east and west were. All of us walked back to the house, and we picked acorn from the ground. Then Olof took the next group and another person took us to a fire, and we whittled a kind of toy, witch made sound.  I don’t know it’s English name. While we whittled, an acorn fell down on my head! I said:
Who’s throwing stones at me?!
After the toys, we ate lunch. It was delicious!
Then, one more person took us long into the forest. We made shapes of sticks. Then, we fed the sheep with the acorns, and we were on an adventure course.
Then we leaved. The end!
