Czechia: Healthy recipes

When we were going to school (one week before Christmas), we made some healthy recipes like pasta salad, muesli, pumpkin soup, gingerbread, and tea. Really important ingredient was honey, which is popular in our country. Around our town we have many local small businesses that sell honey. Our teacher is also a beekeeper. Honey is good for your health, and it’s often used as a natural sweetener. For example, gingerbreads are made from honey and they’re the most famous Christmas cookies in Czechia. We also used a lot of fruit and vegetables. So, we ate in a healthy way. The result of our workshop was the cookery book.  

Czechia: Running a marathon

When distance learning started, we were sitting at computers, and it was only few of us who did some sports. In March, this year our PE teacher sent instructions. Girls had to run half marathon in a month and boys had to run marathon. We could alternate between running and walking. We kept a diary in which we wrote our sports exercises. At the end of March, we had to send our diary to our PE teacher. Although we sent our diary to the teacher, we continued to keep the diary. We rode a bike, we ran, we walked, and we played a lot of sports.

It was a really good idea from our school, to be honest. Since we started having online lessons all of us were just sitting at home in front of our computer absolutely bored with nothing to do. Even if not all of us will admit it, I think that we all lacked some movement. But when we had to go out and do some exercise because of school, it made us get up and do something for us and our body. I think all of us are so thankful that school made us GET UP AND DO SOMETHING! I think we all really needed it. And the diary we were supposed to be writing was a really good idea too. It was great to watch our performances and what we have already ran. It kept us motivated. So…thank you, school for keeping us active even when times are not so good.
