Visit in Seligenstadt

   On Monday, November 2^nd, at 7 p.m. We set out from the building of our school. After fifteen hours of travelling, we reached Seligenstadt, where we were greeted by the chairwoman of students’ community - Madeleine Müller. We were taken to the class, where we waited for the German coordinator - Martin Bleuel. After his coming, we were shown the whole school. The new institution with very well and professionally equipped studios and classrooms, were shown to us. After seeing the school we were assigned our exchange partners and went with them to their homes in order to unpack our luggage and rest after the journey. At the same time teachers were taken to the hotel. During lunch time we went to the school café for dinner. After a tasty meal, we went to the city centre in order to visit the historic church. The guide told us the story of it, and showed us the herbalist's garden behind the church. After the tour we had free time, which we spent with German families.
      On 4^th November 2009, in the morning, we went to school with our partners for their lessons. At 9 a.m. we had a meeting in the school cafeteria, where each country prepared a multimedia presentation in order to bring his school to project’s participants. After the presentation, we were officially welcomed by the mayor of Seligenstadt. Each participant received an emblem with the name of the city.
       On Thursday, we had a trip to Frankfurt. We also visited the European school in which there was a presentation of interactive whiteboards. While we were participating in training, in which we were shown how to use them, teachers were visiting the school building. Our adventure with Frankfurt started from entering the Main Tower - the skyscraper in the city's business center (200 meters). It has 56 floors above ground and 5 floors underground. The fifty-sixth floor offers a splendid view of the Frankfurt. After taking a few photos we went to the eighth-floor shopping center. We spent there two hours doing shopping. Around 5 p.m. we gathered in front of the shopping center. Half the way back we went by line, and the rest of the way we went by bus. At that time, teachers had training in Frankfurt.
On 6^th November, in the last day of our staying in Germany we participated in another presentation of interactive boards with other software. Around midday we said goodbye to the representations of the partnership countries, and to the headmaster of Merianschule- Wolfgang Glänzel, and went way back home to Poland.
      Another trip is being planned in April 2010 to Malta. I hope it will be as successful as that from which we came back!
