Lara:
On Sunday I and my dad went to pick up our Bulgarian girl. We had a big poster with her name saying “Welcome Boyanka!”. She was very happy. Then we went home and had dinner. On Monday we got up at 7:30 and went to school. At school we met with people from Italy, Poland and Bulgaria. Then we played games, it was a big fun. We went on a school tour and at 12:15 we had lunch, it was not very good. After lunch we went for a walk and then we had free time. Boyanka, me, Emma, Gio Gio, Diviška, Dora, Iva, Anička and Luisa went to feed the swans and for ice-cream and coffee.
On Tuesday our school started at 9:30. We had a film quiz and after that we made a short film. It was great. I liked this. Then we watched the dubbed films. After school we went with my family to visit famous places. It was good but there were too many people. Then me and Boyanka watched a comedy. On Wednesday we had a school trip in the centre of Prague. It was good but too long. Then we made a short film, that was great fun. After school we had a dance lesson and then we went bowling with friends and teachers from school.
Louisa:
On Wednesday we were in the centre of Prague. I was in a team with amazing Italian girl Claudia. It was very fine, because we had many activities. After that we came to school for lunch. In the afternoon we made a short movie, our topic was sci-fi. In the evening we went bowling, it was perfect. I was with Gio Gio and Emma. We didn´t win but it was fun. After bowling I slept at Emma´s home, it was great, we enjoyed it.
Jakub Tichý:
I liked to record the videos on green screen. My group had “horror”. We had masks and played witches. Our short film was not very good but we had a great team.
Tomáš Povolný:
The best activity for me was the trip to Czech TV – in Kavčí Hory. We went to Náměstí Míru and by the metro. An old man welcomed us and showed us the complex. We worked with cameras, it was funny. It was a very nice excursion.
Tara Sujetova-Kostić:
I liked to go in the centre of Prague with Czech and Bulgarian people. We went to Charles Bridge and were singing “Singing all together”. It was very nice. On Friday we went to Czech Television and saw a filming there. In the evening there was a party in aula. There was a good music and we were dancing.
Hynek:
Hi everyone,
i would like to share my feelings from Czech part of Erasmus.
Monday: On Monday we went to gym, to welcome our guests, there was a lot of people. But it was pretty fun. Then we went to class and part of us made decorations to party, and part of us was showing people from other countries our school.
Tuesday: We had holidays so I don't know what was happening.
Wednesday: On Wednesday we split up to smaller groups and travelled around Prague, we went to Charles Bridge, Wenceslas Square etc. and there we were doing some funny stuff like making rap or singing songs.
Thursday: On Thursday we were doing typical Czech sports at the gym and preparing decorations for da party.
Friday: On Friday we went to visit a film studio. It was really interesting and fun. In the afternoon/evening we went to big party with costumes of celebrities.
Petr:
Erasmus + is very interesting project because we can meet with people from other countries and we can learn better English.
On Monday we prepared decoration for the Friday party and we met with strangers from other countries.
On Tuesday I was not here but my classmates with our visitors dubbed film parts, they were doing a quiz too and they dubbed again in mixed groups.
On Wednesday we went to the city center and had some tasks.
And on Thursday we played typical Czech sports at the school gym than we did observation for teachers.
And I like this project because we don't need to learn.
Jáchym:
It was a nice week. I will remember it for long time!
AND WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT VISIT IN POLISH LOWICZ!
Lowicz trip
Matilda
From the start, when we came to Poland, I was nervous about being in a family of someone else. After our first day at school, everything was okay. I found a lot of new and amazing friends and I hope I will meet some of them again soon. Trip to Lowicz was an amazing opportunity and great enjoyment. Even though I was scared from the start, in the end it was hard for me to leave Lowicz and all the people. I would like to thank to all of the students and teachers for such amazing week. I want to go to Lowicz this summer and I hope to see you all there!

Hello! My name’s Yana Shopova and I am from Bulgaria. I live in Smolyan an my school is part of the project PlAY, BE FREE! “ Erasmus + ”.

Hello, dear ERASMUS FRIENDS
I had the pleasure to participate in the project PLAY, BE FREE!
From 3rd to 7th of October 2016 me, group of colleagues and students were at Italy, Altamura. For first time in my life I was in Italy. I was impressed by the exceptional hospitality and goodwill in relationships.
In the school I had the opportunity to meet with my colleagues’ work. I visited Geography class. For me it was useful to see how in a dialogue students learn new things about Europe. I liked the complexed approach – at the same time students had to learn aboutone specific country’s geography, including its borders, lay, nature, state organization and management, coat of arms, anthem, etc.
I really liked the individual approach to children with disabilities. For the pupil with special educational needs there was a teacher who supported him not only for the lesson, but also for the break-time, the walk and so on. Most importantly, the student liked his teacher. This pupil did not felt neglected at any moment. The attitude towards him by the other students was caring and friendly.
I liked the organization in the school - the order and the discipline in the corridors, the traffic control.
I liked the fact that the students had the opportunity to eat lunch and then to continue learning. I was left with the impression that they are not loaded with unnecessary homework and other tasks. It was nice to see how parents were included in the activities in the school. Moreover, not only students’ parents, but also their grandparents were taking part in the activities. That way they were showing that this was their school also.
Apart from school, I learned a lot about Italy - about its culture and history.
I was impressed by the city of Matera. I will remember what I saw there.
It was very nice to see young people and adult couples walking around and talking in the streets at nighttime at Altamura. They did not drink coffee or alcohol, nor did they smoke - they were just talking and walking. Moreover, that was every night. This brought me back years ago when people in my hometownwere going out to the main street to see friends and acquaintances.
I should say thank youto the colleagues from Italy, Poland and the Czech Republic! I met teachers who are working with dedication and their students love them!

Here I share my opinion with congratulations and gratitude:
- to Magda Novakova and Zuzana Richtermocova for their youthful spirit and creativity they show intheir thinking and work;
- to the host school Zakladniskola, Prague 2, Londynnska 34 for putting their ideas into participation in Play, be Free Project;
- for the perfect organization;
- for the excellent working atmosphere;
- for the shared educational practices and innovations;
- for the cultural values in the domain of the Check literature
The impressions as well as the information I got during my visit to the school in Prague will definitely contribute for putting my teaching practice on a higher level and for forming a positive attitude to the European projects ineluding school children that help for their growing in a better world.
