RomanianStudents impressions from M5 mobility to Latvia

A Wonderful Week

We left at 5.30 am to Bucharest. We saw a beautiful winter sight along the way. When we got on the plane I had a nice feeling taking off although my ears were deaf from the pressure. We landed in Riga and we took a taxi to the hotel where we found a beautiful room. We had dinner and went to sleep.

The next day we went to the Baltic Sea and we saw that the shore was frozen. Then we walked through the city Riga, the house of cats, the Bremen musicians, the rooster house and we watched the view from the top of the Radisson building. We visited a museum with old cars and motorbikes. I liked the Volkswagen car.

On the first day of school we saw the children who had music instruments and danced. We did activities finding words, drawing each other, making posters about animals. I liked the school and we did many activities.

On the second day at school we went to the sports hall and we played team games, football basketball and then we went to the skating building. It was very beautiful there, I skated on ice and fell twice then we went to the mall and the hotel.

On the third day we visited the space centre where we saw stars, rockets, astronauts and we played many interesting games.

On the fourth day we went to school and we met an officer from the Latvian army. The officer presented the military equipment and we also tried his equipment and took photos. Then we worked on a net with white sheets to send to Ukraine and we wrote messages for Ukrainian soldiers. After lunch we went to the Old Center and found some monuments from UNESCO  heritage.

I liked most the activities of making posters and the sports and drawings. It was a wonderful week that I spent in Riga, Latvia, with my classmates and teachers but also with the other children and teachers from Italy, Latvia, Turkiye and Slovakia.

Erasmus+ Activities at Latvian school

When we arrived in Riga we visited many places and monuments, we saw the Baltic Sea and a frozen river. There was also a very beautiful forest with birds singing. We visited the Museum of old cars.

On the first day of school we watched some children who danced and played instruments and we danced with them. We chose teams and I was in a team with a girl Laura. We drew each other’s portrait and we took pictures together. We searched for letters and my team was the first to win. Then we had a game where we chose an animal. I picked the cat. Then we made a team and we had to say why the cats are protecting us. It was fun. The school was very beautiful and cheerful.

The second day we went to the sports hall and we were grouped in teams. I was given a yellow t-shirt and a blanket. We had to catch a ball with the blanket. I did very well. Then we went skating. I only fell once, I managed it very well. I’d like to skate again because it was a lot of fun.

On the third day we visited a castle and the planetary observatory. It was very nice because we played many interesting games. The next day we listened to a military man who told us about the war in Ukraine, about soldiers’ life and the families of refugees, parents and children. He presented the equipment and we took pictures with it. Then we made a net of white cloth and we wrote messages to people and children in Ukraine. Then we went to the old city where we searched for statues and parks.

I liked most the skating activity.

Activities Journal at Latvian school in Riga

After a tiresome journey, we arrived at the hotel in Riga. The next day we visited a museum with the oldest cars in the world. We walked through the old center and saw many famous buildings. Then we went up by elevator to the 26th floor of Radisson building and we saw the entire city with lights. It was a superb view. On the next day we went to the Baltic Sea. When we got there we saw a superb view and we took some pictures, then we started to look for shells along the shore. Our first days at Riga we learned that Latvia is a superb country with many forests, where people respect nature and the Baltic Sea is wonderful.

Our activities at school started with choosing a random partner and drawing a portrait. I had a partner named Sahra. Then we searched for some letters hidden within the school building and we found the message TOGETHER WE CAN DO MORE. Then we had another team activity to make collages. I was in a team of 4 boys and 2 girls.

On Tuesday we woke up, we had breakfast and prepared for a new day at school. We took the bus n.4 and walked through a forest to find the school. When we got there we changed our shoes for the sports activities. We played some different sports: football with goggles made of plastic cups, volleyball with blankets and basketball. After lunch we went to the skating building, but I didn’t enjoy that because I couldn’t skate well.

On Wednesday we visited the space center and on the way we saw an old castle and its ruins. When we got to the space center everyone was very happy about it. The guide took us to the surprising rooms. We received some cards that unlocked many interesting games.

On Thursday a soldier told us about the war and about military life. Then we made an anti-drone net. I befriended a boy from Italy. Then we went to the old center to do some missions of searching for monuments. Then we had to say good bye to the other teams.

I liked most the first day because we met everyone and we did intellectual activities.

Our Days in Riga

We came from the airport. When we arrived at the hotel a girl was looking at me and Matei. We named her “sigma girl”. In the restaurant we ate Carbonara noodles. We saw the old centre. I saw the three brothers and the Bremen Musicians. In the morning I ate jam and took the bus. We went to the Baltic Sea and saw many different things.

At school we played different games. My favourite game was football with goggles.

Today we went to a castle with our group and then to the spaceship simulator. At the simulator there are different spaceships. We entered a spaceship and played there. At the end we went to the mall and I bought some Chinese popular food.

Today at school a military guy came to us. He showed us many things, then we made an anti-drone net and wrote messages for the Ukrainian people. Then we went to the old centre and did some tasks. After the tasks were done we said good bye to the others. Then we went to Lido to eat.

I liked most the missions and the activity with the military man.
