We went skating with our friend Rudi's cat from Latvia.It was the first time for the children . In the beginning they need a
walking rack, but after half an hour most of them could skate alone. Our parents
helped a lot and enjoyed it also. Rudi loved being on the ice!

"At the Kindergarten "Pa LEI s" in Diepenbeek the childeren and teachers are getting acquainted with education in other European countries. For two years they have made a commitment with schools in England, Germany and Latvia. For the children this means that their mascot visits these countries and that he brings back pictures, activities and knowledge of these countries. The children make sure that whenever a mascot of an other country visits us he/she can take a lot of information about us with him/her. Our teachers visit the other schools and get to know their educational system. The didactic approach and methodical practice are a rich source of information of which our school benifits. from the 30th november till the 2nd of december two teachers from Latvia visited us.
