A bit of history

We go to the Secondary School in Piotrków Trybunalski. It is one of the best schools in the town. Our school is old because last year we celebrated 150^th anniversary. At the beginning it was only a female school. Later the school was turned into co-educational one.

To get to school we had to pass exams at gymnasium well, because the number of points on average we got on the test was the most criteria to get to school.

Now we go to the second class, so next year will be our last year here. At school we spend 7 hours a day. Lesson lasts for 45 minutes and break lasts for 10 minutes. We have one longer break (15 minutes) to eat sth in our school canteen, where we can buy hot dogs, hamburgers or some sweets and soft drinks.

After school we spend 2-3 hours learning for the next day and we usually have a lot of homework to do. It very often happens that we learn till late at night (especially when we have a test next day).

At school, apart from compulsory lessons, we have a whole variety of extra activities connected with our interests, e.g. volleyball, basketball, singing, dancing, and languages.

We are sometimes fed up of school but in general, it is not so bad.

Big waiting for xmas :)

Christmas in Piotrków : Everything here is like in a fairy.
On the 6th December there was a santa Claus day. Family, friends and couples give presents to special people in their life. In Poland people are deep believers.
Now I'll describe the 24 th December. The tradition says " how will this day look like it, will look for the whole year" . Then everybody gets up early, and works at home :D , tidies , prepares gifts, children decorate christmas tree, moms and daughters make dishes for christmas evening, in a very old tradition girls, who an christmas day took some snow and clean their face with it would have brilliant skin.
Till the evening everybody makes " pierogi" with mushrooms and sauerkraut, fungal soup and a few kinds of fish. Christmas Eve starts when the first star appears in the sky. On the Table are 12 dishes ( like 12 apostols) . Everybody is in neat clothes . All the people stand and listen to the part of the Bible about Jesus born and three Kings. Family breaks the holy wafer with other and tells the wishes. Then everybody sits and eats 12 dishes. CD with christmas song is played in the background. On the table there must be wallnuts, oranges . almonds because the tradition says it makes the house richest. On the table there is an extra dish for an unknown guest. When Christmas dinner ends children can opengifts which are under the Christmas Tree. Little children believe that Santa Cames and puts gifts .
At 12 o'clock everybody goes to church to pray there and sing christmas songs. In the villages farmers believe animals speak human's voice. They really take care of animals this evening, because it's a magical evening for everybody.
