Day 2 at Via Grande

Today we had a marvellous experience. All the countries and the five Spanish children went to the secondary school at Via Grande. There was a typical Sicilian carriage with three men playing the tarantela, the principal of the four schools, politicians, children and teachers. It was a very nice spectacle.

They took everybody to a room to receive us and the children were given some presents.They then offered us a big show with students playing instruments, singing and dancing. After the coffee break we went to visit the primary school. As the weather was so nice everyone was outside. Children danced the tarantela, and played P.E. games with the comenius teachers. It was really fantastic.

Afterward, we went back to the secondary school where we had lunch. It was hosted by the students. We went back to the hotel for a rest and then we went by bus to Catania. We walked all around the city with an english guide and then we had dinner at a restaurant where more Italian teachers joined us. The five spanish kids were spending the evening with the italian families. What a great experience for them!
