Day 3 at Via Grande, Catania.

Some of the italian teachers CAME to pick up the entire group up at the Infant school. The little ones were waiting for us, dancing to the hymn of each country. ¨We visited some of the classrooms where the children sang and danced with some of the comenius teachers which was a lot of fun. We had a delicious coffee break with typical cakes handmade by the teachers. After that we came back to the secondary school. We were divided up to take part in different tasks, such as theater play, cooking, singing, and dancing.

First we visited some classrooms so children could ask some questions to the different teachers from different countries. One of the Spanish boys was very participative asking questions which was very good. At the end some of the teachers and the Spanish girls sang for everybody in costumes. Another two teachers did a play with puppets. Another group danced the tarantela. And the last group of comenius and some students along with a cook made the typical Sicilian canoli, that everybody tasted after the performance.

That day a large group of Italian teachers took the whole group to a Taormina picturesque town by the ocean and the mountains in their personal cars. After walking through the the town and doing some shopping we got ready for dinner. It was a very nice supper and all the countries sang typical songs from their countries. We had a fantastic time have fantastic memories.
