Monday:
We started our day by having breakfast and getting ready. We all picked nice elegant shirts and left hostel. After our arrival to school we got divided into two groups and teachers showed us the whole school. When we got back to the main class we watched the videos of our presentations. Then we got splitted into even smaller groups based on our ID color that we got earlier.In those group we played board game that helped us break the ice and talk about ourself. Then we had a lunch break and when everyone got back we started presentation about our traditions and folk stuff. When everyone finished we got back to the hostel and finally ate something. We were so full after lunch that we didn’t finish our dinner. Some time later we went to play bowling. Then we got back to our rooms and got ready for the next day…

The next thing that we have done was dancing. We learned the folk Dance of Detva. It was pretty difficult task for everybody, but we think that we handled It pretty well. After this lesson we had lunchbreak and we rested for a bit, and then we went to culture house. At culture house we watched kids during test of their play.
