BREAKING THE ICE WITH A SPANISH FAMILY

We arrived on Sunday, January 27th, at 3:30pm at the Colegio Salesianos in Ibi.
When we arrived our host families already were waiting for us. I was a bit nervous, but there was no reason because my host family was very friendly! We went by car to their flat. It was a bit strange for me that they had their own parking lot in an underground car park, as if we were in a mall or something. At home, in Kohlscheid, our garage is at a courtyard.

Then we took a lift to the flat. That was also new for me because in my home town I do not take the lift to the third floor, I walk! But the flat of my host family looked like a flat in Germany. After I unpacked my things Raúl, my host brother, asked me to go with him to meet the others in town.

We got back home at 9 pm. That was weird because in Germany I have to be at home by 6 pm. When we returned home, I wanted to take my shoes off, but they left their shoes on (I’m used from home to take my shoes off at the entrance). I went for a shower, but until the water got warm I was 3 years older! It took soooo long to be warm! After the shower we had dinner at 10:30pm. I’m usually already sleeping at this time in Germany. I finally went to bed at 11pm. The next morning I woke up at 7 o’clock...  very late for me in Germany, where I wake up at 6:00 am.
For  breakfast we drank  milk and ate  Donuts... that was very YUMMY! When I’m back home in Germany I’ll  tell my parents that they have to buy  donuts for breakfas, too! I like the Spanish culture and I am a little bit sad that I have to go home …

MY OPINION ABOUT THE ERASMUS IN IBI

The first day I was so nervous and excited at the same time because I didn´t know Roni very much,         but on Monday i had  the opportunity to spend time with  him. Today we are having a good time and we are speaking more than the other days. I hope we will know each other more during the week and have funny moments together.

I came to Finland last September so I had already meet Christa before she came to Spain. However, it’s always strange when someone you don’t really know stays in your house for a week. The first day was really cool (even though it’s not usual) because she was very happy and the first meeting with my family was so nice. She is well behaved and she very nice and sweet, so it’s a pleasure for us to host her at our home. I’m improving my English a lot, and the most important, I’m doing it having a lot of fun! I’m so happy and I think the rest of the week will be amazing.

When Jeremy (my partner) arrives to my school I felt nervous because it was the first time that I welcome someone in my house. When I spoke the first time with Jeremy I got relaxed and I felt tranquility. Now we´re getting fun together and we play PS4 and we laugh a lot. I´m starting to learn more English with Jeremy even I learn some words in Finish and German.

STATION: ABC-RUN

In this station, you can do sports while learning something about fruits and vegetables. You have to answer questions and get to the A-, B-, and C-signs with different movements. The length of the gameplay depends on the number of questions. The more players take part, the more fun it is. 

STATION: BASKETBALL

At our Basketball station you have to dribble the ball while your are calculating math problems. You need at least 2 players, one is telling the math problems, and the other one is solving them. You`ve got 30 seconds of time and 3 tries to solve the tasks. You decide by yourseIf if you`re using these tries. If it`s to easy for you, you could dribble the ball faster and faster, so that it`s not too easy for everyone. As more math problems you`re calculating, as better you will remember them.

STATION: PING PONG

You have to place the cards with the letters layed faced–Up on the left table, and the cards with the numbers layed faced–down on the right table. The player should pick any card, then he has to bounce the tabletennis ball up and down while going around the traffic cones. The player needs to find the opposite word.

STATION: KAHOOT

Hello everybody,the project Erasmus+ MOVE, as the name suggests, consists in the
learning by the new technologies, healthy lifestyle and movement. Sometimes for some students it can result a little bit boring to study with books. But, how about it with mobiles or computers?
This is what we have done in this station called “Kahoot” in which we have fun at the same
time as we learn about new cultures of other countries. In the game you have to improve your mental agility and you practise the cooperative learning too. Here’s an example of the game function.

STATION: DO YOU KNOW IT?

In this station you can train your sense of taste. You have to try to recognize different fruits and vegetables through tasting. There isn't a limit of players, so you can play it with all of your friends. But if someone said a wrong answer, everybody has to do sports, like squats or pushups.
