Today we heard and read several old stories and legends of late queens and kings and everyday people. Our afternoon session was about Scotland, its history, its language, its peoples, and its natural beauty.

I was extremely proud because I was the only one in the group who new some Scottish words. We had a "Find someone who..." game and the words in question were know, little, pretty which are ken, wee and bonnie. That's what I knew.

We started with a brunch in the morning than had a kind of get-to-know-each-other games. We were asked to keep a log of the activities so after each section we discussed what we learnt and how we can use the activities in the classroom. In spite of the fact that I knew some of these activities the whole morning was very useful. And our teachers are really great. They all happen to be women, by the way.

That was new to me, was the Bus Stop sign on the wall. When we were ready with our individual tasks we had to go to the bus stop and wait for another student to get there; then we became a pair to discuss our work together. This is an idea I will definitely use from the first day back at school.

In the evening we were invited by the training company to one of the oldest inns of Scotland, the Sheep Heid Inn. (heid [hɪːd]=head) Here we played Skittles which the the ancestor of bowling. I really enjoyed the old style setting and way of playing and keeping the scores.

The team I was in won with 1 point! (Not because I could play so well, unfortunately.)
