Sunday (Last Day)

Sunday we had to be very early at the airport, it was the last time we were with them all. We said goodbye  to each other most of the crying. It was a shame because it really was a fantastic week that I'm never forget. Finally, we have all what lovingly written on each shirt. After we said good bye to every one names we checked in. Wipe our own country.

Hey,

I'm Dora Donia pupil SC-Delfland. I'm 15 yrs.

I went with my teachers to Tahiti because our school is participating in a project Erasmus. My journey began at home with my parents to Amsterdam where I was waiting for mr.Tas, mr Diggele and mr. Beets and other students (Bobby 15 years and Soraya 16years) because they arrived by train from Delft to Schiphol it only took 5 minutes and then they were there, I said goodbye to my parents and my cousin after we have already our passports data check.

and we have some dinner together at Schiphol Then we went running toward our plane to our first flight from the Netherlands to Paris, 1hr 15 min flight. Then we grabbed our next flight to Los Angeles, I really thought oh wow Los Angeles, I was very nervous it was flying very long but really big airplane with TV’s not get bored and beautiful view it was really long flights, but they were very nice and we were given blankets and pillows to sleep. After having flown 12uurtjes we were tired of it and we were finally landed at Los Angeles International Airport very tight security and very large. Then we had the custom shoes jacket jewelry all issue and then we were allowed to walk for an hour at the airport waiting for our last flight to Tahiti Our final destination. And then just fly 8hrs 35min but not so bad hey all a total of 21 hours just flew one day.

Finally in Tahiti arrived warm quickly change clothes packed our bags in our summer clothes and there they were all our host families they have us welcome nice with garlands itself I made took leave of me teachers and Soraya and Bobby wanted a lot of fun with their new family them also I me could handle fast with the family because I had with them English to communicate but the island also they speak also French and I talk myself French family was very sweet and open I felt right at home but I was so tired that I 2uurtjes as sleep started to overtake and we arrived at 7 am in the morning.

Hello,

My name is Soraya Mastenbroek and i’m 16 jears old.

I’m following an aducetion Sc Delfland.

Our school took part in an exchange project that’s called : It’s my life it’s my choice.

To get her with Bobby and Dorra we were choisen to go to Tahiti in November 21 in the year 2015.

I was very excited to go, but at the same time I was also afraid because it was my first time I was took part in such an progamandit was my first time on a airplaine.

Afther on flight of 29 hour’s we had landed on Tahiti.

We also had a very warm welcome.

I didn’t really know what to expect of Tahiti but it was more beautiful then I could have imagined.

We had a lot to do for example we went swimming and we played games.

We also went for an hike to the volcano and we really enjoyed the view on top of the volcano.

A few day’s after the hike we went snorkelling on the other island named: Moorea.

We arrived whit a giant boat and on the way there i’ve seen Dolphins.

Also when we were snorkeling I had seen shark’s, sting-ray’s and a lot of fish.

On school day’s we had a llot of fun activities, for example we had to weave bamboe basket’s.

I’ve learned a lot about Tahiti and their way’s of live, their culture and origen.

For me it was very special i’t s someting I wont forget eny time soon.

If I ever get the chance to go there again I would take it whit both hand’s.

This was the most fun experience of my life and I will never forget Tahiti and all the friends i’ve made over there.

Our 7th graders made a presentation for the younger students. 

The students talked about eating healthier meals and about habits on the internet. They talked about dangers with social media and how, and with whom, you present yourself on the internet.

``We´re getting on with our challenge. Laudio Secondary School Project and Erasmus+ Project´´.

These days the participants in our `It´s my Life- It´s my choice´ Erasmus+ Project  at IES LAUDIO BHI in the Basque Country are engaged in several activities which are intended to accomplish our challenge: raise the funds for one year´s wages of a librarian at Tinduf refugee camps in Sahara.

For weeks the students have taken turns bringing the omelets they make at home and selling them among schoolmates and teachers craving for a portion at break time.

At the same time we have been selling tickets for a raffle which will take place on March 18, when the traditional Friday of Sorrows fair will be held in our town.

After expenses, almost €500 has been raised by now with these two actions, which is making our goal close to come true.

Besides, there are other ideas which are being considered. One of these is turning cork bottle tops into caring key rings. The cork tops have been provided by `Victor y Amorim´ company from Navarrete (La Rioja), who have recently started collaborating with the project as associated partners.

Basque Students in TAHITI

Tahiti

Thanks to the Erasmus+ project, this year I have had the opportunity of travelling to Tahiti with three other students like me.

We stayed there for a week with a host family, so we had the chance of living a normal Tahitian lifestyle.

The journey started in the airport of Bilbo; from there we had to take a plane to Paris, then another one to Los Angeles and a final one to Papeete (Tahiti).

We travelled for almost one day and a half, but it was very funny as one of us had never ever flown before, so she was really nervous!!

When we reached to Tahiti they made us a welcome with their typical dances, and they also put us some flower crowns and necklaces.

After meeting all the students from the project I went to my host’s home. There she introduced me to her family and after having lunch they took me to a local market where she explained me about their culture. She also showed me how there are a lot of islands and how each of them has different traditions; dances, clothes,...

The second day we went to school, there I finished meeting all the Erasmus+ students and I also had to present my country with the students that came with me from the Basque Country.      

The TV also came that day to record the school, students and teachers.

During the week, the school took us to a lot of beautiful places; we went to Moorea (an island close to Tahiti) where we had the chance of swimming with sharks and manta rays; we also went to a spectacular inner garden with lots of flowers and a pond full of fishes where we played a game similar to memory… ; and they also took us to a park where we played football for almost all the afternoon…

My favorite day was the Polynesian day; we did not go anywhere but I had a lot of fun.

That day the school had prepared some activities for the students of all the school. In the morning we learned how to do flower crowns, how to prepare raw fish, how to play the ukulele and the drums...

And in the afternoon we played to different games from each country.

It was a fantastic experience and I would absolutely repeat it again!! By Naroa López De Abetxuko

 

"For me this trip to Tahiti has been one of the best experiences in my life. It gave me the opportunity to learn a lot of different things like other cultures and languages, different lifestyles,... and it also gave me the chance to practice English.

Tahiti is so far from my own country...and it is very different in many things, for example the food: Before going there I had never eaten raw fish, I thought I wasn't going to like it, but now, I know it is DELICIOUS. People from Tahiti are different too, they are more open than here , I made a lot of friends. The island is very different too, the plants, the mountains, the colour of the sea... the beaches. I really enjoyed it !" By Martzeli Perurena

"Going to Tahiti was an amazing experience. I have to say that what I expected was ... going to the beach every day and having good weather. Obviously, Tahiti was not exactly like that.

It was a small island with very nice people and very hot. I really had a good time there, I met a lot of new people and I also learnt about different cultures.

I enjoyed a lot the activities we did there, all the activities!. Every day we had something prepared to do . But the activities I liked the most were the trip to Moorea (where we swam with sharks, also the trip by boat was very funny), and the Polynesian Day at the school (There were a lot of activities to do, I enjoyed it a lot!) "By Nagore Fresno. 

"The trip to Tahiti has been an unforgettable experience. I have really enjoyed the stay there since the people were lovely and very pleasant. I have made a lot of good friends and I am missing them a lot.
I was very happy with my host family, they gave me a good accommodation and they were very kind to me. They made this week one of the best weeks in my life.
On the other hand I have learnt many things, for example that the culture and habits are very different from ours.

We did a lot of excursions, the last one was very nice because they took us on a day tour around the island, we visited many beaches, caves, waterfalls,... the bad thing was that it rained all day, but it was funny.

Apart from the good friends that we made, my favourite thing of being in Tahiti was the trip to Moorea. I love the island because it resembles me the idea of The Paradise. I enjoyed a lot because we visited a lagoonarium and we swam with sharks and rays and other fish, we also fed them. It was an incredible experience." By Nerea Martín
