The second day in Bochum.

It was our second day in Germany. We met all together at school in the morning, after the first night in new families. Everybody talked about first impressions. We were so excited!!!

We went into the class and we were waiting for an art teacher. The topic of the workshop was „ Who is the hero for you?". We divided into small groups, we were mixed ( Polish students with German students). We had to think about heroes and idols, and show the other people what we think about our own hero. We had a big piece of paper, felt-tips and ... colorful silicon! Everybody worked hard...

... because everybody wanted to have the best hero!!! We worked for 2 hours. Then we had a break for visiting the school. Polish students could see what the school in Bochum was like and talked about the differences with our new friends. German students will see our school in March! The school in Bochum is bigger and more modern than our school in Poland. We liked it a lot.

After the break it was time for our projects. Every group showed their idea for the best hero, all of pictures were great! It was very funny when we watched our heroes together!

After our presentation we went to Museum of Hero in Hattingen. We went there by bus with our teachers. Then we could visit Hattingen- a beautiful German city. We went to the museum through a little village with pretty, small houses.

In the museum we had another project to do. Every Polish student with his or her German partner got a name of a hero. We had to find out our hero and answer the questions about him. It was a lot of fun, because we could work together and got to know our partners and their opinions better. After the questions one student of the Polish-German couple had to put on the clothes of his hero, and another student said something about him to the whole group...

After the Museum exhibition concerning Heroes a surprise waited for the Polish students! The German students invited us to go bowling! Some people went bowling for the first time in their life. There was a lot of fun and we could play with our new friends. It was a nice present from German students!

The second day in Bochum was super! The school, the museum, workshops and bowling were exciting but, a little bit tiring too, so everybody enjoyed the idea of going home. In our German new families we felt really 'at home' thanks to our wonderful hosts' hospitality, kindness and friendship.
