On 11 December 2019 students from grade 1c visited Wrocław. They had a tour of Wrocław done by a professional guide who told them about the history of the city and showed them the most important buildings and sites e.g. the town hall, old market, university, cathedral etc. The students listened to the legends told by the guide which are connected with the places where were visiting. They also learned about Wrocław dwarves – small metal statutes of tiny men in caps which can be found almost everywhere in Wrocław.

On 13 December 2019 students from grades 1ps and 2c also visited this city. They had a visit in the National Museum, where the students had workshops run by the museum educators. The first graders learnt about why it is important to have museums, what museums do whereas the second graders learnt how to ‘read’, interpret and understand a work of art. Then the students had some time to explore the museum on their own. In the afternoon, the students visited the “Museum of Pan Tadeusz” where they also had lessons prepared and run by museum educators. The students from the first grade participated in workshops “Maths in history’ where they learnt about the II World War, Enigma machine, cracking codes, Polish statesmen: Władysław Bartoszewski and Jan Nowak Jeziorański and the Free Europe Radio. The other group had a workshop about Adam Mickiewicz, one of the most important Polish poet of the nineteenth century. They learnt about his life and about his most important work – the national epic poetry entitled “Pan Tadeusz”. They could see the manuscript of this work of art and the original documents connected with the poet as well as first editions of his works. The students could also try their hand at writing using a goose feather.
