In May 2008, three of our teachers visited Mihai Eminescu School in the
centre of Giurgiu.
Mr Weightman, Miss Hubery and Miss Parkin travelled by plane from Newcastle
Airport to Heathrow, London then to Bucharest the capital city in Romania. The
flight from London to Romania took around three hours. Mrs Weightman also came
along!

Here we are outside the school on a
beautiful sunny day. The temperature is already 10 degrees higher than in
England. |
The primary age children come to school in the morning. Their lessons begin
at 8 o'clock and finish at midday when the older students arrive.
We saw lots of lessons in this large school.
This was a mathematics lesson for eight year olds.
 |
 |
| The classroom was light and
cheerful. |
Many of the girls wore the
same summer dresses. |
 |
 |
| Each child had their own
Mathematics Book. |
Some of the boys wore smart
black suits with waistcoats and bow ties! |
 |
 |
| The teacher stopped to mark
the children's work throughout the lesson. |
Here is a page inside the
text book. It shows how to subtract. |
 |
 |
| Children's exercise books
were really neat! |
Group challenge. |
|
|
 |
| The text book had lots of
helpful pictures. |
The winners! |
Here is a photograph of all the Comenius teachers together outside the
Town Hall of Giurgiu.
 |
 |
| The Town Hall was a most impressive
building. It was also air conditioned! |
Special friends. |
Later in the week we were introduced to the Mayor of Giurgiu.
 |
 |
| Here we are standing
together in front of a map of the town. |
This is the meeting room
where the Mayor welcomed us after lunch. |
 |
 |
| Here the Mayor is speaking
to us about the Comenius Project. |
The Mayor was very
friendly. He congratulated all the schools in the project. |
