Some more comments from the Swedish pupils

I think it was a nice trip with the class and meet “new” people.
The family I lived in was nice and I had a good time with them.
I liked the trip very much, we had a great time and the families were really good. 

The trip to Spain var fun, I have learn much about the country and about the project. My host family was very kind, but the mom in the family couldn't speak any english so the communication was hard. The pupil we lived with was very kind and could much english och she was so nice! The food down in Spain was a big difference between Sweden and Spain, the spanish people ate much bads for breakfast for example. The activities made that everybody started to talk more with each other and we became more friends than strangers. 

This trip was very fun and a moment for life!

Farewell party:
It was amazing and I got closer to many spaniards. At the end many people started crying, since they were sad that we were leaving.

We left after some minutes of waiting and when we drove away from the school, everyone waving at us sadly, it felt really sad. To know that we would maybe never see all these people again.

This was a wonderful trip and I do not regret it in the least. Everyone was so kind and nice and I had a great time. This is what I learned from Spain, you eat a lot in Spain and that its possible to make friends, anywhere and anytime.

A final overview of my Erasmus+ experience:
A very fun project that brings both classmates and total strangers closer together. 10/10, would recommend to others. The cranes are maybe not my favourite subject on the entire earth but meeting new people, eating new food and exploring a new country is definitely worth talking a little about cranes.

I thought the trip was very exciting. It was fun to go abroad and meet a lot of other people and see how they live. The food in Spain was quite different from what we were in Sweden, sometimes it tasted good and sometimes it was not so good but it was fun to taste some different food. Paella was good.

I thought the trip was exciting and nice. Because the people in Spain were nice and did everything for us. My first thought was negative because I only wanted the trip to go fast so I could get home quickly again. But when we were going home, it was really hard to leave the family you lived with. The family I stayed with was very nice.

I thought the trip was positive. We met new people and we got experience of new cool environments.

The trip was very fun, you learned a lot of new things and got to see and taste new dishes, places and cultures. I think we got a really good host family, they were very good in English and very kind and thoughtful and they always asked what we wanted; if we were cold, hungry, tired or want to find something. The mother walked all the time and hugged us and introduced us for friends, etc. I think the trip was fun, it made our class come closer.

I have thought that this project has been very fun and exciting, because it was fun meeting new people, and experiencing new things. The best part of the trip was to go to Spain with the class.
The farewell party was very fun! We had Pizza and were dancing to Spanish music but it was too sad, it will be an evening that you never forget.


Swedish students’ comments

During the Erasmus+ meeting in Spain, all the pupils had to complete a journal of the experience and these are some of the comments made by Swedish pupils:

At the airport I couldn’t believe that me and my classmates were going to Spain in a week, it just felt unbelievable.

We and three of the spanish students with their teachers left the guided tour for a while to be in the Extremadura radio. I’m glad that I did it because it was fun to be in a spanish radio studio and it was cool that I understood most of the interview even though it was in spanish.

It was a very fun trip and I’m really happy that I joined. I think that it was very fun to live at someone's home because it gave me a better view of how the everyday life is and I got a better connection to the family. My favourite part was to talk to all of the spanish people, in the end of the week I could speak to them in spanish (only a little). 

When the party was about to end some started to cry and I was one of them it was mostly the spanish students. 

It was fantastic. The food was good, some was really good and some less good. The family was like my own so i really felt like home. I could have stayed another week really i’m not joking. I hope a get to meet them again some day in the future. 
Then some spanish student show us their school and it was a very beautiful school I think with many classroom.

This project have been very fun and I'm glad that I'm went to Spain with my class because it's a one in a lifetime moment. We have got the chance to see how the Spanish culture are in one week there we lived at host families. We have also learn about some historical persons and moments in Spanish history. But I think that the funniest thing with this project have been to get to know other person from another country and that we have become friends. 

We listened to music and talked in over an hour. It was very nice! 

We talked both in English and Spanish to each other.

We went to the radio station. Before we recorded, we prepared the answers, during the record I  talked a lot of Spanish and said some things in English, wrong but it was fun. 

At half past 7 we went to a farewell party at our  host fathers bar. And at 8 we got pizzas there. Everyone danced and sang the whole evening. Around midnight the party was over and we were going home, our family had to wait until everyone was gone because we were going to lock the bar. Many of the Spanish student cried and our little sister cried as well.

We had a great time together and it feels like we have getting more close to the Spanish pupils. 

We had really fun and talked about everything.

After dinner we stayed and talked with the family. We had a great time. 
At 7.30pm we went to the farewell party, we ate Pizza and then we dance it was very fun. We had a great time, it's going to be a good evening to remember everything we've done. It was too sad for everyone, because they did not want us to go and we would not.

It felt like you did not want to leave your family with whom you lived, and you did not want to go home because you have had the time to get to know new friends. As we entered the bus, it felt like we would never meet them again. It was sad.

I think that this project has been very fun.

Lecture on the common crane



Last Thursday, at IES Siberia Extremeña, our pupils from the 1st and 4th year could attend a lecture given by José María Traverso Martínez on "The Common Crane". José María, who is a member of Grus Extremadura, gave a deep insight into the life of this bird. We'd like to thank him for this interesting lecture.
