Latvia

We were told a few days ago that in a couple of weeks time we will be having a Comenius week in school. Comenius is a project our school has been involved with for the last 18 months which links Wales with other countries in Europe. Each class has to focus on a different country from our group and fortunatly for me Nursery has been given Latvia. I say fortunatly for me as i went to Latvia as part of the project back in May so have first hand experience of it. I also have a fab collection of photo's which i thought would make a great base for a photostory to show to the children. I haven't spoken to my teacher about it yet but i'm hoping she'll give the go ahead to show it. I thought it would be nice to have showing on the IWB when the children come in in the morning while they wait for the register to be taken.
I've attached it to this post if you want to see what schools in Eastern Europe look like. I have to say it's not what i envisaged!! We stayed in Riga and it's a beautiful city. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting a long weekend break. For the purpose of the photostory i have removed some of the photo's as i deemed them unsuitable for the children!!
