Germania
Here we are living a reality completely different from our usual one.
Everything is different at school: when a lesson finishes, German students change classroom to reach another teacher and start a new lesson with him/her. Besides, they are not worried about oral tests because written tests are generally taken when necessary.
We have been to Bonn together with our German and Spanish partners to visit the Deutch Museum, a place where you can experiment with various technological innovations applied to the study of Science; the language used by all of us is only English. With the guidance of a German teacher we have experienced a new teaching method called “egg-races”: students’ task is to create three items by using cheap and easily found materials and subsequently to apply on them some of the basic laws of Physics; at the end of the week these items will be presented in the course of a competition.
We have also been to Essen University, where we have worked in the chemical lab and, as real researchers, we have analyzed the content of nitrates, phosphates and calcium in the soil.
The next appointment is in Spain in February. PS. It is really nice to be here but unfortunately we have to come back
When I arrived in Spain I was very sad because I felt lonely. People I met helped me to feel myself at home. We became friends in a few minutes and we went and visited many places. We went to Sivilla and visited the beautiful cathedral I liked very much. Unfortunately this wonderful experience came to an end and I came back home. After a mounth Jesus, one of my friends, came in Italy and has lived with me and my relatives for a week. Now he is one of my best friends, we phone every week and I hope to see him and the other friends very soon.

During this year I had an experience in Spain thanks to a European project called Comenius. During the science week the Spanish, German and Italian students gave mutual hospitality. This experience gave me the possibility to compare my culture, traditions with other European country and improved my language especially Spanish one. At the beginning it was very difficult but after the first day everything went well.
The Spanish school that we attended was very different from the Italian one. I met new people and new friends. The Spanish people are really very nice. The buildings and streets are very different from the Italian ones.
It was a beautiful experience I hope I will get again in the future.

This year, participating in the project Comenius, I gave hospitality to a German girl named Cristine. It was a beautiful experience because it allowed me to broaden my knowledge, to deepen English language and especially to met many kids, either German and Spanish ones, who had a culture different from mine. I was very amused and the project was very interesting.
Debora
In Italy Comenius experience was a beautiful adventure, I learned many things and everything was very amusing. During the Comenius week we visited different places: university in Foggia, a little town Roseto. I gave hospitality to Tim a very simpatic and tall boy.
Giulia
This was my first experience. It was very interesting and amusing: I knew new friends and I improved my English. I gave hospitality to Marlene, a German girl. She is very nice and now she is missing me very much. I often write some of German friends.
I hope to go to Germany so I can meet my friends and I can have a new experience as in Italy. I’ll remember this experience and my friends for ever. I think of them for my lifetime.

Bowling
Thursday we were at Knippi´s Bowling Palace. We were there with all students from spain, italy and germany. At 8 o'clock we met in front of the bowling palace. Then we went in with 34 pupils. We played 2 games and after the first game we ate pizza. They had a lot of fun because in Italy are no bowling centres and in Spain just a few. We laughed a lot and took a lot of photos.
