Comenius week in Sweden May 2012

The week here in Sweden with all the comenius students was amazing !!! All students from Sweden miss our friends so much, we had so much fun and everyone loved the week! Before the students came it was bad weather but when they came it was sunny and warm all days of the week, when they went back to their countries the weather here in Sweden got bad. So now we want you back ! Everyone got many new friends and some fell in love….. hihi.. The week was one of the best weeks ever in our lives! We miss and love you guys so much! Hugs and kisses from Alice, Grynna & Arvid!!!
We thought it was a really succesful week. We had a lot of fun, and learned to know many nice people, not only people from Sweden. It's interesting to get to know other cultures, and it did show us that we have many things in common and also that we are different. We have got many memories that we will remember for our whole life, and new friends of course from all different countries in the world. It was really sad to say good bye, because we did get so tight to each other and we felt like a big family. We didn't just hang out in the school, we did also hang out in spare time, we did things like having bbq, go to Liseberg and had a movie night. No we look back at the week and miss everybody and hope that we could meet them again. :) we miss you guys very much, and hopefully we can meet again! :) Sanna och Clara
This Comenius week was the best week in our lives. Everybody got new friends from other countries and everybody miss them very much. It was very fun up on the Herrestads forest and lakes there we met everybody for the first time and it was very fun! The bus trip was also very fun because everybody got to see our beautiful natur. David, David and Daniel
It was really fun when they were here! We learned a lot for example new words, differences between the countries and about the environment. We got really close to each other. We also learned more about Sweden and other countries! We became one big family. It was really nice weather all the time and that was really good!! We were really happy when they said they liked Sweden! And to say goodbye was not good : (Olivia, Unni, Frida and Ronja. We think that the week in Sweden was very fun and we have learned a lot of things. We have gotten many new friends and memories. We have also discovered new places in Sweden, and we have seen how beautiful it actually is. The communication was difficult in the beginning but after a while we learned how to make it work and we helped each other. It has been an amazing week with beautiful weather! The funniest things we did were when we were at Hafsten and Liseberg! We did very many funny things together there and we laughed very much, we got to know each other better and everybody spoke to each other! This week has been an instructive week with many laughs and memories! In the end, it was very sad to watch them leave and we hope that we’ll meet them again. / Emelie Hansson, Frida Niklasson och Alicia Larsson
We thought the week was veeeeery good! It was very fun to meet people from other countries and get to know them, especially when we did fun activities together. We got to know very many new people, both from Sweden and the other countries. The good weather also made it even more perfect and we went to the ocean and swam. Most of the students wern´t shy and they wern´t afraid to talk, and that was very good because then you get to know them even better! We will never forget this trip!! /Paulina Thorsell and Julia Magnusson Björk This week was the best I ever had in school. It was very fun to make new friends and contact. When the Comenius people came to Sweden the weather got really nice, but when you left the weather got rainy and bad… We really liked being host family. The bus trip and all the other things we did went very well, and it was fun to… We miss you all and hope we could meet again  Bye bye Erik L Thorsson Erik af Geijerstam

    The Comenius week in Sweden was unforgettable! We met many new people, and we made friends with most of them immediately. It wasn’t difficult to communicate with them, we understood each other easily. We had a lot of fun while we were participating in the programs. We had a boat trip, some picnics, we baked the typical Swedish „kanelbullars”, we swam in the sea and we saw many beautiful sights while we were hiking. In the evenings we were with our host friends and their families. They couldn’t be any nicer or more helpful, we enjoyed living with them a lot, and we’re really grateful for everything they did for us. We hope we will meet them again, and that we will keep in touch for a long time! Luca Pápay from Hungary

    I came back from Sweden with a wisdom I had heard before, one that got its real meaning for me in Sweden. I first met this saying on the T-shirt of our energetic, good for/at everything host teacher, Andreas. Then, to my greatest surprise, I heard the same saying from one of the host fathers, Hans while driving to Goteborg Airport. He shared so much of his life with us that listening to him became one of the most remarkable experiences I had in this amazing Scandinavian country. Now the saying can be read on the wall of the classroom of my beloved class: A CHAIN IS NO STRONGER THAN ITS WEAKEST LINK. Thank you, dear Swedish friends for everything you've given to us.

    Our experience in this trip was really interesting and useful for our future because of many and different reasons: First at all we have improved our English, our pronunciation, improvisation skills and we have learnt a lot about different cultures and countries.
    Related to our project, we have learnt about the use and abuse we make of different resources such as energy, paper, cans,... and how to recycle and save energy in our houses and at school.
    Apart from this, we have visited different beautiful places. We enjoyed a lot going canoeing, to the beach, to the museum,... Luckily the weather was nice, the sun was up and it was very hot.
    The people we met in Sweden were very pleasant. They treated us really well, we had a very good time there not only with our Swedish friends but also with the friends from the different countries.
    The families that host us were really very nice and treated us very well.
    Our conclusion is that we want to go back to Sweden!!! We wish to meet you again in Sweden or in the Basque Country. You are really very nice people.

    Aitor , Oihana.

    Our Comenius week in Sweden ...The best week of our life!

    At first, the travel was very very long and we thought that we would be freezing in that country. BUT, when we arrived we were amazed by the welcoming of our pen pal and by hot temperatures. Then our host families made us feel very very comfortable and we had a very great time with them : we played a lot,we ate a lot.

    We were struck by the good relationships between the parents and their children : they never shout and they always smile. We think that it's because of the good education that they receive over there.

    When we went to the school, we visited classes. The pupils are much more free : they can use their phone in classrooms, they can leave whenever they want, they study with games in computers. Everything is very clean and Swedish people are very respectful of the environment and with the others. They've got cooking classes and handcraft classes, which is great.




    This week was veeery amazing ! We thought it was very fun to meet everyone! We were well received by the Swedish students. They are really nice, smiling, charming. We learnt a lot of things about all the people in the project. We have also discovered beautiful places in Sweden like Smogën. We also had a barbecue near the lake, it was cool. We thought that canoeing was really funny because Aitor, Oihana and other girl fall in the water. :)
    .
    The food was good such as « kannelbullar ». We loved the food in the canteen very much . We had lots of crazy times in the water even though it was freezing. We had so much fun when we were at Liseberg.

    This week was wonderful, like in a dream !!
    We'll always remember you all, we look forward to seeing you again!
