Goodbye, dowidzenia... au revoir, adios, auf wiedersehen, arriverderci...

Marta, Dominik, Kinga, Karol, Weronika, Ala, Manuel and Marcin, from the Polish School, would like to say goodbye (or in Polish it's "dowidzenia") after helping to produce this page for the last few issues. On this - their last page - the pupils from Hull's Polish School would like to mention the European Day of Languages which is on September 26th. It's a day to celebrate different languages and different cultures, and is celebrated in 46 countries across Europe. To celebrate the day, the pupils have put together some words in different languages which you might find useful when you go back to school or when you talk to friends from other countries.

Just for fun Can you find these words in our wordsearch ? There are fourteen words in total. amico (friend) amo (I love) bonjour (hello) escola (school) estudiante (student) hola(hello) ichliebe (I love) kind (child) numeri (numbers) professeur (teacher) przyjaciel (friend) school teacher witamy (welcome)
