FINAL
PARTNER'S MEETING IN RAMSGATE, 23rd - 27th MAY
2007
Four
representatives of III. OŠ Celje (Mrs. Metka Vajdie, Mr. Aleksander
Verhovšek, Matic Munda and Staš Kotarac Gueek) have recently
travelled to theUK to take part in the
final partners' meeting held in Ramsgate held between 23rd and 27th
May 2007.

This was the second meeting (the first taking place in
November in Nemours, France) where all the five member schools
(Slovenia, Norway, England, Romania, France) met to discuss what
they had done in their first year of Comenius 1 project: Art and
Food – Using art to change students' eating
habits.
The five groups were met by everything but typical English
weather and we were all very happy to roam around the streets of
Ramsgate, London and Canterbury
without our brolleys and warm coats. It would seem that the weather
was as warm as our host's hospitality.


Our host was Clarendon House Grammar
School located in Ramsgate. It is a
predominantly girl school with almost 760 girls and 40 very lucky
boys. It specialises in languages which explains the fact they have
language assistants for Spanish, Hungarian, German, French, Russian
and Greek. They are also very active in the field of drama and we
were privileged to have seen two performances, both written and
performed exclusively by Clarendon House
students.


All four Slovenian teachers have been staying with real
English families in their houses and to tell you the truth, the
experience was absolutely amazing. Having never set a foot inside an
Englishman's home (their home is their castle and they don't let
just anybody in either) this was a completely new experience. And a
great one at that.
Clarendon
House
Grammar
school
is quite famous for their
immersion language programmes where young and older language
students travel to the country of their target language where they
have to use the language they are attempting to learn in everyday
situations ALL THE TIME! They offer summer school classes and are
inviting anybody to travel to the
UK
in their summer holidays to learn more English. Anybody
interested?
