Welcome to our blog which is to create a link between two Catholic schools – St. Mary’s Catholic Primary School in Bristol, England and John Paul II’s Salesian Primary School in Wroclaw, Poland.

We would like to present our schools’ everyday life here, so that we can get to know each other better and, hopefully, develop a longstanding and beautiful friendship. Although we live in different countries and cultures, we surely have a lot in common, as we share the same Christian values. Getting to know each other better seems a great adventure we are happily embarking on.

Wroclaw Sponsored Run

On the 1st of March at 9:30 we left school. We were going to the Wroclaw Sponsored Run. Students from different schools and of different age took part in the event to help raise money for children from the Wroclaw Hospice for Children. I was going to run too! Each participant had to beforehand find sponsors who would pay 5 zl for each circle.

When we got there we first ate our snacks and drank our tea. Then we started.

It was hardly a run at first, for there were so many people. Over 2500 students aged from 8 to 18! Soon the crowd dispersed. I managed to run 12 circles.

Later, after everyone had gone home, we got together for a last photo. Then we took our share of the balloons and left.
