The British Primary School of Wilanow

A huge hello to everyone at the British Primary School of Wilanow ... I'm looking forward to meeting and working with you all this week.

I was awake at 2am this morning at home in Wales and right this minute I'm sat at Manchester airport waiting for the first part of my flight to Warsaw, Poland. I'll be getting on another plane in Amsterdam and should arrive in Warsaw at about lunchtime.

I will be taking pictures and adding messages here (and on Twitter) as my trip progresses.

See you all soon...

After landing at Warsaw airport I was met by the school principal, Mr McGrath, who kindly gave me a little tour of Warsaw before dropping me off at my hotel... thank you Mr. McGrath.

My hotel was very modern with a window that filled one wall, giving a great view of the countryside.

Rather than catching up on some sleep I wanted to make the most of the time I had so decided to go for a little walk around the local area. 

First of all I wanted to see where the school was so that I wouldn't get lost the next day. No need to have worried about that though as the school was less than five minutes walk from my hotel.

Wilanow is a very modern part of Warsaw as you can see from this huge Catholic Church...

But there's also a few older, interesting buildings like this old church 

and the beautiful palace of King Jan III...

My two days in Wilanow at the British School whizzed by. It was fantastic meeting everyone and having the chance to work with each class in school. 

A huge thank you to everyone for making feel so welcome and for looking after me. I hope that I have the chance to come back and see you all again before too long.
