Dear students from Valle,

 

It was pleasure to meet you at Valle- your wonderful school, to see your classrooms, surroundings and feel the spirit of your site, experience Norway itself.

You are coming to Latvia, to Smiltene. I hope your teacher Ewa has already told you how students from Smiltene and Valle have been working together for nearly 2 years. Now it is time for you to take a floor- to try yourselves how things work.

Write, please, about your expectations when coming to Latvia. Think if you know anything about the country you are going to visit or how it would be like there. You may have a look at the very first entry of the blog where your colleagues have already expressed their knowledge (22th April 2009), but we would be like to know your personal thoughts.

 

And the next step- if you have any questions to ask – do not hesitate! Ask! The students (your peers, hopefully your new friends) from Smiltene Centre Secondary will reply you!

 

Mind! Even if you do not have anything to ask about the country or your stay here- ask about the project! Enquire about things and activities you are going to do together!

 

My dear new friends- two tasks altogether- your expectations and at least 3 questions (whether about practical issues in connection of your stay or about our school, students, project etc.)

We are really looking forward to seeing you in Smiltene,

 

Sincerely, Gundega

    well, at first - free time. City is not big and there isn't many places where to spend free time, but we always have some great ideas how to spend our free time. And we defenately will show you our lovely city. Our shool is not big, but it's cozy and we know each other more or less.

    In the free time we can probably spend time together, like take a walk through the city, well, it's not very big, bet we have some places that you should see! ;)
    There is about 6300 inhabitants in Smiltene.
    There are about 430 students in our school, but actually our classrooms are not so big, but it's very cosy and sunny, so I think you will like it very much!
    Looking forward to see you too! :)

    Hi
    I am looking forward to see you here.
    to answer your questions, well about free time here in smiltene we have balling centre, very nice parks and lakes so it's nice to take walks as well we have nice cofes where to sit and drink some tea and cocktail.
    Now about how big is the population it's 5880 people in total.
    And the answer to your last question, the school has more then 400 students
