Wow! After half of the Lithuanian group had to wait a day for their lost luggage, what came out of the bags was a HUGE assortment of chocolates, biscuits, etc.
The entire table was full of yummy food to eat - now all we have to do is finish it all before we leave on Sunday!
(But judging from the appetites so far, this shouldn't be a problem!)
Students from Poland performed a traditional Polish dance as one of the final numbers of the first evening.
Dressed in traditional gowns and costumes, the students could have been doing it with their eyes closed, because the routine was perfect! Graceful and very nice.
Students from France first sang a regional song from their village near Nimes called Milhaud.
Afterwards, as they are learning Italian at school, the French students sang a song in Italian, which was quite impressive as they sang very quickly (!) and the accent was very good.
Pupils for Berlin, Germany, introduce their city and their country by doing a rythym with plastic cups to one of Bach's Brandenburg concertos.
The children also sang a traditional song and prepared a really nice slideshow with photos from their capital city. The slideshow was also cued perfectly to another piece by Bach.
Well done!
Stay tuned for the video! Coming soon...
As one of the kick-off activities of the first evening's theme about "Celebrating Our Country", each school brought a selection of national and regional treats and sweets to share with everyone.
In the picture on the right, Aurora Gay Mendez from Galicia, Spain, cut up slices of a regional pie filled with eel (!!!) for everyone to try.
