Pole to pole

The latest Hull in print News Crew is from Hull Polish School. Here pupils write about their school and homeland. The Polish School opened in September 2006. There are 90 children who attend lessons. We are taught Polish to remember our first language but we also learn English. We get to spend time with other Polish children and make friends. At the moment we are helping to arrange COOLture – a multicultural event for children and young people which will take place on May 17, 10.30am - 3.30pm at the Albemarle Centre. We also have our own library containing Polish and English books. Learn a few Polish words Dzien Dobry - Good morning Przepraszarn - I am sorry, Excuse me Dziekuje - Thank you Prosze - Please Do widzenia - Goodbye Milo Cie Poznac - Pleased to meet you
