NOVÉ CESTY ZA JAZYKOVÝM VĚDĚNÍM reg. č. projektu CZ.1.07/1.1.00/56.2536 na základě výzvy č. 56 OPVK.
Školní exkurze do Londýna 12. – 18. října 2015
Úvod Na konci loňského školního roku jsme se zapojili do projektu (reg. č. projektu CZ.1.07/1.1.00/56.2536) na základě výzvy č. 56 OPVK pod názvem „Nové cesty za jazykovým věděním“. Díky němu naše škola dostala příleţitost zorganizovat pro vybrané ţáky týdenní výjezd do Velké Británie. V průběhu letních prázdnin byl škole tento jazykově-poznávací zájezd povolen. Nastalo hektické období hledání vhodné cestovní agentury a spousty papírování, na jehoţ konci bylo na základě rozřazovacích testů vybráno 20 kandidátů, kteří navštívili v termínu 12. – 18. října Velkou Británii, konkrétně Londýn a jeho okolí. Naši ţáci absolvovali velmi dlouhou cestu přes několik zemí eurozóny - Německo, Belgii, Holandsko, Francii, kde jsme se v Calais nalodili na ranní trajekt. V průběhu více neţ hodinu dlouhé plavby jsme byli odměněni krásným, ale větrným výhledem z paluby na pobřeţí Francie a samotný přístav. Plavba se dětem moc líbila, někteří, protoţe byly opravdu velké vlny, měli co dělat, aby se udrţeli na nohou. Po příjezdu do Doveru jsme si udělali několikahodinovou zastávku, kdy jsme obdivovali Dover cliffs a pokochali jsme se i pohledy z nedaleké vyhlídkové restaurace. Ve večerních hodinách jsme přijeli do městečka Catford, předměstí Londýna, kde byla většina dětí ubytována v černošských rodinách, z čehoţ měli někteří velký multikulturní záţitek. Jejich dočasní rodiče, tzv. „hostmothers“ and „hostfathers“ si kaţdý večer české děti vyzvedávali a ráno po snídani je opět rozváţeli na zvolené místo, tzv. „meeting point“. Ţáci si během pětidenního pobytu v britských domovech mohli vyzkoušet jaké to je, kdyţ druhá strana umí pouze anglický jazyk. Někteří dokonce naučili své hostitele několik frází a slůvek v češtině. Součástí pobytu byla povinná devítihodinová výuka v jazykové škole. Byly vytvořeny skupiny a poté, co byly děti rozděleny, mohlo vyučování začít. Ţáci ohodnotili i tuto zkušenost jako pozitivní, a dokonce neměli problém s porozuměním. V polední pauze jsme všichni s průvodcem navštívili nedalekou observatoř a nultý poledník na Greenwichi. Přitom jsme se dozvěděli, ţe stojíme na místě, kde se natáčel známý film Piráti z Karibiku. Obdivovali jsme i více neţ sto let starou dřevěnou plachetnici Cutty Sark a zaútočili i na nedaleké obchůdky se suvenýry. Následovala teplá večeře s noclehem v rodinách a po oba další dny několikakilometrové pochody metropolí Londýn. Zde jsme první den absolvovali Southbank Walk (procházku po jiţním břehu Temţe), mohli obdivovat zvedací most Tower Bridge, který je natřen modrou královskou barvou. Nahlédli jsme i do St. Catherine´s Docks, kde snad náhodou kotvila královnina zlatá loďka vyuţívaná pro zvláštní příleţitosti. Prošli jsme kolem Shakespearova divadla Globe Theatre a nechyběl ani the Tower of London, který ukrývá korunovační klenoty a jehoţ historie sahá aţ do 11. století a vlády Viléma Dobyvatele. Při dalším poznávání města jsme mohli obdivovat dílo architekta Ch.Wrena, který navrhl St.Paul´s Cathedral i samotné finanční centrum se spoustou světových bank, pojišťoven i londýnskou burzou. Na tomto místě na nás velmi příjemně zapůsobil styl oblékání samotných finančníků a úředníků. Odpoledne jsme měli rezervovány lístky na London Eye – turistickou atrakci, kde se nám naskytl dechberoucí výhled na celý Londýn a nejen to. Díky dobré viditelnosti byla tato obří atrakce velikým adrenalinovým záţitkem. Tím ovšem prohlídka nekončila. Navštívili jsme 4D projekci zaměřenou na Londýn, která se všem dětem velmi líbila. Děti lákaly i trhy, Covent Garden, které byly v 70. letech přebudovány na turistickou atrakci a dodnes neztratily nic ze své oblíbenosti. Na tomto místě jsme nasáli atmosféru prodeje a obdivovali hudebníky i jiné umělce, kteří v kavárnách zpříjemňovali čas turistům i místním. Viděli jsme také střídání stráţí u Buckinghamského paláce, kde jako kaţdý den bylo hodně ţivo a neměli jsme se téměř kde směstnat, dále pak známou Oxford Street – ulici, kde jsme se podivovali butikům věhlasných světových značek a cenám většiny vystaveného zboţí. Zastavili jsme se i na Trafalgar Square kde jsme na skok zavítali do National Gallery, ale naše ţáky stejně nejvíce upoutaly tzv. ţivé sochy. Na závěr jsme absolvovali National History Museum. Tam si přišli 2
na své jak ti, kteří mají rádi drobné ţivočichy, tak i ti, kteří obdivují vyhynulé druhy či kostry dinosaurů. Můţeme konstatovat, ţe za krátkou dobu jsme shlédli maximum památek a o podívanou zkrátka nebyla nouze. Myslím si, ţe nebudu lhát, kdyţ za všechny zúčastněné řeknu na závěr jediné. Děkujeme za tuto jedinečnou multikulturní zkušenost a přejeme si, aby takovýchto projektů do budoucna přibývalo. Mgr. Jana Güntherová Jet do Londýna, vidět na vlastní oči slavný Big Ben, prohlédnout si hlavní město Velké Británie přímo z Londýnského Oka, procvičit si angličtinu? Ano! Jdeme do toho! V rámci výzvy č. 56 MŠMT naše škola získala mj. finanční prostředky na realizace jazykového poznávacího pobytu ţáků v Londýně. Příprava byla náročná, ale nakonec jsme v pondělí 12. října v 6 hodin ráno opravdu vyjeli. Dvacet statečných s dvěma zálohami. Dvacet ţáků a ţákyň 8. a 9. ročníku, kteří prošli výběrovým řízením, společně s paní učitelkou Güntherovou a Jankovou vyrazilo na cestu za jazykovým věděním. Cesta byla opravdu náročná, trvala asi 36 hodin. Tak jako Bilba Pytlíka na jeho Cestě tam a zase zpátky potkala spousta dobrodruţství, tak i my jsme museli čelit různým výzvám a zkouškám trpělivosti. To, kdyţ jsme například museli čekat v přístavním městě Calais, kde jsme měli moţnost poznat, ţe zprávy o uprchlické situaci opravdu nelţou a ţe věc je opravdu váţná. Další zkouškou byla cesta trajektem a boj s mořskou nemocí. Nebo kdyţ jsme měli nečekanou prohlídku města Dover. Všechno jsme to zvládli. V úterý večer jsme dorazili do Catfordu, předměstí Londýna, na tzv. meeting point. Tady, na Canadian Avenue, jsme se vţdy ráno a večer sešli. Prvního večera bylo naše čekání nervózní, byli jsme zvědaví na své nové dočasné rodiny. Host mothers a host fathers si postupně nás všechny postupně vyzvedli a my jsme si mohli konečně po dlouhé cestě odpočinout. Středa – škola Oxford International Education Group, Greenwich (Royal Observatory, Meridian, Maritime Museum Ve středu ráno to bylo v autobuse jako úle. Všichni si vyprávěli, jaká je jejich rodina, co dostali na večeři a jak se jim spalo. Ale program zájezdu byl velmi nabitý, nebylo času nazbyt. Hned ve středu ráno a odpoledne měli ţáci výuku v jazykové škole. Všichni obdrţeli certifikát a myslíme si, ţe si je opravdu zaslouţili. Lektoři byli rodilými mluvčími a ţáci se dorozuměli, rozuměli a dokonce někteří chtěli více lekcí! Přes polední přestávku jsme nezaháleli a vydali se s průvodcem objevovat krásy a zajímavosti Greenwiche. Zaţili jsme rozpolcení, kdy jsme jednou nohou stáli na levé a druhou na pravé zemské polokouli. Vyfotili jsme se před Královskou observatoří a měli první moţnost zhlédnout Londýn z výšky. Vysvětlili jsme si, jaký je princip posunu hodin, kdy na východ od Greenwiche hodiny připočítáváme a naopak na západ je hodin méně. Prošli jsme se také krásným parkem Námořního muzea (Maritime Museum) a vyfotili se u Greenwichské univerzity (University of Greenwich), jejímţ architektem byl slavný sir Christopher Wren. Večer jsme unavení padli do postele s myšlenkou na další den, kdy nás čekala prohlídka centra Londýna. Čtvrtek začal hned zostra. Tower Bridge a Temţe. Jeden ze symbolů Londýna nás přivítal zahalený mírnou mlhou, ale to nic neubralo síle záţitku, ţe opravdu stojíme u toho slavného mostu, který lze „otevřít“ pro proplutí velkých lodí. Tower Bridge je namalován modrou královskou barvou. Pan průvodce nás pobavil historkou se šťastným koncem, kdy jeden autobus nedopatřením zůstal na zvedajícím se mostě. Všichni přeţili a řidič a jedna z pasaţérek se nakonec vzali. Pokračovali jsme k The Tower of London, prohlédli si památník velkého poţáru Londýna na Pudding Lane. Prošli či se zastavili na dalších významných místech jako Millenium Bridge, St Paul´s Cathedral, Shakespearovo divadlo Globe, Buckingham Palace a St James Park.
Pátek byl ve znamení výměny stráţí před Buckinghamským palácem, Trafalgar Square, Covent Garden, Picadilly Circus a závěr v Natural History Museum. V sobotu jsme si nakoupili poslední zásoby a suvenýry a vydali si na více neţ 24 hodinovou cestu zpět domů. Náš pobyt v Londýně byl náročný, poučný, zábavný, obohacující, vzrušující, zajímavý – prostě skvělý. Jsme rádi, ţe jsme se mohli zúčastnit. Mgr. Julie Janková 3

original
in is
William
Shakespeare theatre. I like the plays of William Shakespeare, for example Romeo and Juliet and many others. When we were walking along Southbank, we saw a lot of gulls. The River Thames was dirty and its colour is brown. London Eye was beautiful and scary at the same time, because I had a fear of heights. We saw Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. Buckingham palace and St James Park were very nice. The Palace was very big. On Friday we were in London, too. In New Band Street there were exclusive shops with exclusive goods. Berlington Arcade is Victorian shopping Centre with very expensive shops. In front of Buckingham Palace we saw the changing of guards. We went through Green Park. Trafalgar Square is a very big square with four lions and Nelson‟s Column. At Picadilly Circus there were really a lot of people and shops and buses. In Natural History Museum there were very interesting exhibits. They have got the largest dinosaur skeleton, I‟ve ever seen something like this. A huge tree trunk suprised me. 2) The symbols of London for me are Buckingham Palace, Big Ben with Houses of Parliament, Queen Elisabeth II..

3) I bought tea because it is typical souvenir from London. For my grandma I bought a mug with double-decker bus and the Houses of Parliament, because I liked him and I didn´t know what to buy. For my Little sister I bought T-shirt and candy. 4) I don„t know, because I like shopping and sights, but I don‟t like too many people and in London there are a lot of people. 5) My most interesting experience is definitely that when I had a stomach ache
and
I
gagged.
Because I had a dirty Tshirt and jeans I had to go to Primark. I bought new black leggins, a sweatshirt and a nice T-shirt. That was super because I was first in the Primark. But on the other hand I was sad because I haven‟t got jacket, but finally it was OK. František Koiš, IX. B 1) We've visited Tower bridge,Tower of London,St Paul's Cathedral ,London Eye, Houses of Parliament (Big Ben), Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square. 2) The symbols are Big Ben, London Eye and doubledecker. 3) I bought a small doubledecker and small teddy for my sister and a mug for my mother. 4) Yes, I would. 5) The most interesting experience is London Eye, I saw the London from the air!

Klára Smiešková, VIII. A
I visited Greenwich, Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, the Houses of Parliament with Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace, some skyscrapers. I was in London Eye and I saw fake Crown jewels and the changing of the guards. The symbols of London for me are of course their flag, Big Ben, Tower Bridge, tea and English language. When I was in London I wanted to buy some magazines what are published only in London, because in these magazines there are topics about my favourite bands. And I bought them! I also bought statues of Big Ben and later I found that it shines, four magnets - two are for me and others are for my grandmas. I also bought typical British tea too and it is delicious! Yes, I would like to live in London because I love English and London's sights, nature and people there. My most interesting experience from London was when we met our host. Our “parents” had two grown-up sons so we thought they live somewhere else. But when we arrived we saw their two sons sitting in living room and the wife of one of them, their two small kids and husband of Haney, our host mother. So we were really surprised.

I love this place, because I love Biology (and it is the place, where I bought one of my souvenirs – a big 3D picture with a dinosaur Tyrannosaurus Rex). The last place, which we visited on our travel, was Catford, Lewishham (shopping center, there was the shop Primark, we enjoyed shopping there a lot. Symbols of London are for me intelligent people, pigeons and seagulls, modern art, a lot of interesting and practical things and expensive shops. I bought a very expensive pillow for my father in one of souvenirs shops near the Tower of London, then a mug with symbols of London for my stepfather Petr and candies for my whole family. In shop with souvenirs near London Eye I bought a teddy bear (which looks like a guy) for my stepbrother Filip, a big pen with flag of London for my brother Oliver, a magnet with the model of the Tower of London for my grandmother and for my aunt I bought a
11
magnet too. I bought a handbag and a model of a bird for my mother in the shop in National Gallery. And for me I bought a big red bird pen. I wouldn´t like to live in London, because I love my country. My most interesting experience from London is the ride on a carousel with my friends, feeding pigeons and seagulls, walking in London´s streets and parks and also shopping. Simona Tomisová, IX. B
We visited a lot of sights for example: the famous bridge in London- Tower Bridge, the Tower of London - there are crown jewels, the home of the Queen Elisabeth II - Buckingham palace, Hyde park, Greenwich meridian, Greenwich park, a famous tourist attraction - London eye, famous expensive shopping street- Oxford street, the big clock tower - Big Ben, the Houses of pParliament, etc. The symbols of London are for me: Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, red telephone booths, nice people, double deckers, Queen Elisabeth II, expensive things, city of sights, etc. I bought a lot of things - presents for my family, some magnets from London, T- shirts, a mug, some things from drugstore, some jewells. I bought that because I wanted to have a lot of things from London, because I don‟t know if I go there in near future and because I like them. I wouldn‟t to live in London, because everything is expensive there and people from other countries have problem find good work there. For people from other countries it is so hard to live there. My best experience from London - people in London are different than us, there are a lot of Afro-Americans. Families in London must have two jobs to earn enough money. The life isn´t easy there. People in London don‟t have dogs because they say: dogs are very dirty animals.
12
Markéta Kasterková, IX. A
We visited Tower Bridge, Tower of London, a lot of museums (Natural History Museum, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, Trafalgar Square and other places). The symbols of London are for me Starbucks cafe at every corner and houses in Victorian style. I bought some postcards, because my friends wanted them, then Tshirts for my nephew and niece, a scarf for my mum and a paperweight for me because I collect it. I really like London, but l don‟t want to live here. It‟s so demanding, a lot of traffic and only sandwiches for lunch. I think my most interesting experience from London was when immigrants in Calaes were walking around our bus. It wasn´t like on TV. You think „It‟s okay, they aren‟t dangerous and there are not so many people.‟ But it is not like this. This situation was scary. Michelle Líčková, VIII. B
The second week in October I went to London.On Tuesday we sailed by ferryboat to England.We saw lots of places in London. For me the highlights are Big Ben, London Eye, Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace, Natural History Museum. The symbols of London are the red telephone booth and the guards at the Buckingham Palace and Mr Bean. I bought a T-shirt for my mother, because she loves fashion and a stone from Natural History Museum, because I was intrigied by its magnetic force. Live in London is beatiful fom me.I like this country.One day I'd like to live.My interesting experience from London is ride on the London Eye, but I have lots of experience from our family Roberts. The mother names Nugáta- she is still cares about us care or her soon Dunič whick drove us every morning. My experience from London is best and unforgettable. 13
Kristýna Petřvalská, VIII. A We visited a lot of buildings and sights in London – the Prime Meridian, Greenwich, we were walking on Tower Bridge, St. Paul's Cathedral, City of London, London Eye, live statues, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Marble Arch, changing of the Guard, Buckingham Palace, Nelson´s Column on Trafalgar Square, The National Gallery, Piccadilly Circus and finally Natural History Museum. The symbols of London are definitely Double Decker, Big Ben, Underground and the red colour. I bought magazines (Kerrang, RockSound and BigCheese), a key ring, hat, English tea and some chocolate. I bought magazines because I can't buy them in the Czech Republic and these are the best magazines. I bought the key ring, because this was the gift for my sister. I bought a hat. I need a good hat, because winter is coming. I would like to live in London, but after the conversation talking with my aunt, I realized that it would be complicated, so eventually I would like to move to America. My best experience from London? I think everyone wrote about London Eye. So my most interesting experience is the live statue at London Eye. The man (the statue) didn't move, when someone touched him. He did not anything. We were watching him and he didn´t even blink.
14
Aneta Antošíková, IX. A In London we visited lots of sights – for example Tower Bridge, The Tower of London, Big Ben and Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square or Natural History Museum, Oxford Street. And the shop Primark in Catford shopping centre. On Wednesday we were in the school of Oxford International Education Group and University of Greenwich. The symbols of London are for me Big Ben and Buckingham Palace or Oxford Street and Tower Bridge. In London I bought small red telephone booth for my mum, because she loves it and a cup for me, because I want to drink from the London cup! And for my father I bought
“UNDERGROUND“soap
because he just wanted it. I would like to live in London. I love the cold and cloudy weather. And I like big cities with lots of shops and sights. It‟s like a dream city for me. My most interesting experience was the living in the step family. It was very funny. But almost everything in London was great. Lukáš Dutko, VIII.A
We saw London eye, Greenwich, Buckingham palace, Royal garden, Big Ben and the Tower of London. There were lots of kinds of people. I bought a miniature of Big Ben and London eye in cube. I wouldn´t like to live in London because I haven´t got any friends here. The most interesting were Big Ben and Buckingham palace.
15
Pavel Kaleta, IX. A
We visited a lot fo beautiful places, for example Tower Bridge, The Tower of London, St Paul´s Cathedral, London Eye, Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben and many others. The symbols of London are the typical British breakfest, Big Ben, London Eye and school uniforms for me. I bought a gypsum bulldock with the British flag on its back and small presents for my family. I would not want to live in London, because they have always bad weather and I don´t like school uniforms. My most interesting experience for me was Buckingham palace.
