Comenius Partners visited the schools in Hateg and Ianca in May/June and had a great welcome. At Hateg pupils were waiting to give us a traditional welcome. A boy and girl offered us bread and there is usually a drink too. They were wearing traditional costume, and others were also dressed in these clothes, mainly to show us.
We had a tour of classes to meet the staff and pupils. Some introduced themselves or sang a simple song in English. Their English was very good and the older pupils understand well.
While in school we did activities with the pupils. The older class tried a Scottish dance, but due to lack of space and large numbers, we didn’t quite have enough time to perfect it, but they did well. Later the class showed me a Romanian dance that was very similar to the Scottish dance.
The older class sang the Scottish song ‘Everywhere we go’, with a Romanian twist and this went very well.
During our visit to Hateg we received hospitality from the Mayor and we visited the local High School.
