Guests from Syria in 7LO

 At the beginning of November 2012  the class III d from our school invited  two Syrian boys:

Mahmoud aged 17 and Ward aged 16.

The boys are students of secondary school in Damasco. They are cousins of Natalia , one of the students from this class  . The boys have been staying at Natalia's family since last holidays. They decided to leave Syria together with their families  because of serious armed conflicts in this country which began in March 2011.

During the classes our students showed them around the school and discussed the differences between Polish and Syrian systems of education. Two students also made a presentation about  Torun - the town of Copernicus. The new friends presented photos of  Syria and discussed its culture, monuments and cuisine. Syrian students enjoyed the time spent with Polish ones.

The students communicated in English.
