Adeje visits Dikli




Loly and Lola, teachers at Costa Adeje School (Tenerife- Spain), visited Latvia last October. We had a wonderful welcome and we felt at home.









We took several activities to share with teachers and students at Dikli School.







Our first activity was a presentation of our islands, our second activity was a game in which maths skills and English were involved and our third activity was an activity in which we used authentic material to integrate the Spanish culture into the English classroom. In this activity students had to identify some items related to the Spanish and Canarian culture and tourism and then they had to answer some questions related to the items above mentioned.




We also made a Spanish omelette. We gave the students a recipe in English so they had to follow directions to be able to cook and enjoy a perfect Spanish omelette. The students set the table very nicely and we all ate it up in the afternoon.



On our last day students had a party at school. First of all they sang several songs, they had a riddle contest and some regional dance. Some students had the chance of showing their dancing skills, they even danced rock and roll for the whole school.
In the evening we visited Cesis with our host-teachers. Cesis is a lovely, medieval city near Valmiera, the town where we stayed.


We are very grateful for everything they did. We had a great time. They are all the best host-teachers ever! Thanks Vija! Thanks Dikli School!

Great report! Thank you - a lot of activities and an interesting program. I think - especial in the year of the intercultural exchange - it's "estupendo" :)
