Our visit in Zetale

We, pupils from Germany, had a great visit at the school in Zetale.

On Thursday we went again to school in the afternoon. There, the pupils from Zetale played different little sketches and also showed videos, mainly about the seperation of waste.

. In one viedeo there you could see what they had done in the last schools year. The pupils from Zetale were very busy and really active in the project. My stay in Slovenia was well organized and I have enjoyed it very much. Unfortunately the Comenius project is already over.

On Thursday afternoon was a school event at the school in Zetale. We had a lot of food that we could eat. Most food was traditional Slovanian food. It was funny and the pupils had prepared something for us.

On Friday morning we went to a hill. It was an easy walk in one hour and ten minutes. All pupils weared a Healthyer-World-T-shirt. We walked on 620 meteres. It was great view. We talked to the other pupils and we talked about what we watch on TV.

On Friday we went to Vuk's homestead museum. There was a small old house. A man called Vuk lived here. In the museum there old furniture and things were also shown. It was very interesting.
