Since September 26th is traditionally celebrated as the European Day of Languages, the students of Branch School Nikola Tesla from Moravice dedicated a whole week to that special day. They learnt a lot of new things, repeated what they already knew, and also had a great time. Our youngest, first, and second graders made paper dolls in folk costumes from European countries and, in addition to the appearance of traditional costumes, learnt the names of these countries and their traditional dishes. Third and fourth graders became world travellers and created their passports in which they entered the countries they wanted to visit – they found out what the flags look like and some interesting things related to the selected countries. The fifth graders played a guessing game Where's Wally? in which, based on the flag and some sights and landmarks, they had to tell which country it was. The seventh graders also tried their luck in finding Wally but also in trying to guess how many languages some celebrities speak.  The fifth, sixth, and eighth-grade students tried their hand at the Talk to me! pub quiz full of interesting questions on languages, history, geography, and sports and achieved enviable results. But the most important was that all the students had lots of fun!

As Edward De Waal said, With languages, you are at home anywhere.

So true.
