For the First time tea-
chers and pupils met
during a project mee-
ting in Poland.
Children from Portugal.
Italy, Cyprus and the
Netherlands were welco-
med by their host fami-
lies at their arrival in
Łòdź.
The next morning everyo-
ne assembled in the great
hall to be part of a warm
and special welcome by
the local community.
Children of the Polish host
school prepared all kinds
of musical acts from the
different countries.
During the time in school
the children participated
in a variety of activities.
They worked on and
signed the comenius con-
tract and learned the pro-
jectsong.
A swimming lesson was on
the program and they had
a competition between the
guest countries. Auke
from the Netherlands just
won from Portugal.
There was a language
competition which country
could pronounce Polish
the best.
All countries entered
three logo’s and after
some debete Italy won
the competition.
In the afternoon real
knights came to the
school and told us how
to become a knight.
They showed what you
had to do and learn and
some kids could partici-
pate in the action.
After school we visited a
castle where everyone
could have a go at archery
and throwing a spear.
The last day we had a tour
with a guide around Łòdź.
After a great visit every
one went home. We all
shared a wonderful expe-
rience and made many
new friends.

You-knight-Europe
January 2012 Volume 2
What is a pledge? How should a modern knight
behave? Who do you think can be a knight?Do you
think knights could exist nowadays?What attitudes
do you think a knight can have today?
These were some of the questions children had to ans-
wer in a questionaire which was presented to them .
From the answers pledges and honour codes were to be
made from all schools.
In Poland the pledges were presented and the schools
filmed the children taking the pledge, promising to be
good and faithful, to be honoust and fair to eachother
and listen to their teachers and parents.
Every school made their own pledge and choldren
went to work to make the rules for the honourcodes.
These will be presented later in the project.

Official project song We are Knights of Europe, we are brave We can stand together hand in hand
We are going to change our world Even if we don't use any sword
We all are the same under the Europe sky Knights of the nations as a team we can fly We all are the same together in our home Let's be U-Knighted today let's never be alone
Our shields are made of real love Our hearts are full of lovely words
We are gentle and honest and brave That is how we do want to behave
We all are the same under the Europe sky Knights of the nations as a team we can fly We all are the same together in our home Let's be U-Knighted today let's never be alone
Christmas wishes
Every school sent in two to four
verse sentences for the project
song.
The Music teacher from the
Polish school put all these sen-
tences together in a beautiful
project song called ‘Knights of
Europe’
The song will be learnt by all
children from the schools parti-
cipating in the project.
Christmas wishes and cards poored in
at every school during December.
Schools displayed them in their
Comenius corners during December
and January.
Some countries posted films of their
traditional celebrations on the blog.
