Hi everybody,

We got it! Our Italian friends visited us for a week. We had a beautiful time together and visited Iruña-Pamplona, Donostia-S.Sebastian and Bilbo-Bilbao as big cities.

We also took them to the coast (Hondarribia, Hendaia, Sokoa…) and beatiful places such as Zugarramurdi… On the other hand, they spent 2 days at school doing different activities .

Here you are our planning:

Hi,

Last night we got back from Italy where we had a beatiful time. We left our Italian friends there, but they’ll come soon and visit us.

Hi from Toki Ona Secondary School!

Do you remember our exchange project? Yes, we’re travelling to Italy in April. We’ll be visiting different places, such as Milan, Venice, Bergamo…and meeting new friends in Caravagio. Italian friends are coming to Bortziriak in May. We’re 13 + 2 teachers and they are 16 + 2 teachers.

San Fermin is the best party in the world. On the first day, on 6th of July, we celebrate the “txupinazo”. On the second day, it’s San Fermin´s day. San Fermin is one saint. On the third day, it is the best day for young people. This day is the day for the “peña” (big group of people who wear the same shirt). The fourth day it’s the day of the children. In the afternoon there are different childrens’ games. And on the last day, 10th of July, it is the day of the married people, and at night, we celebrate “pobre de mi”. It is a farewell.

This day, is a benefic act. It is always celebrated on the 3rd Sunday of October; this year it was on 21st of October. It is benefic because it is to raise money for Basque schools.

The day started at nine o’clock more or less, and finished at around nine o’clock; so, the party lasted for 12 hours. In the morning when people arrive there, they start walking by the way.

In the way, there are seven different areas, where there are different concerts during the day. You can choose which you prefer and you can go and listen to it.

There are not restaurants, so if you don’t want to buy there any sandwich, you have to take one from your home.

This day is so beautiful for Basque people, because you can meet people from other places and you can become their frieds.

Saint John Bosco is a party celebrated in our school.

This day we do many things like football championships or a show…

In the show students take part acting, doing different things, like imitations, dances…

Saint John Bosco day is the last day of school before the Christmas holydays.

Students love this day, because it is a very hapy party.

But the party doesn’t end after school, people after school stay at the bars and dances.

Only our school celebrates the Saint John Bosco’s day.
