My Trip to Poland, by Ellen (Rang 4) My family decided to go travelling around eastern Europe in the summer holidays. My dad knew a man in Poland that worked with him. We were going to meet him there and stay with him for a while. It was very exciting for us. We bought a 90 Mercedes that was going to get us around Europe. We were going to bring my brother's friend too. My mam was not able to go the same time as us so she came and met us in Brussels. We booked a boat to Liverpool and we were getting a trailer tent from my dad's friend. We were going to stay with him for a few days. We were going to Dublin to get the boat this morning. We got up really early to go. We got on the boat and at 6 o'clock we arrived in Liverpool. This was just the start of our travelling. We met Rattlas at the harbour and we went back to his house. We stayed with Rattlas for four days. We got the trailer-tent and went on to London. We stayed with Dan in London. We met uncle Mickey and my dads friend there. We got up this morning and drove to Dover to get the boat to Calais in France. We went to a really nice camping site. We met a man called Ruen he was a busker. He had this bike that Mickey Shane and me fell off. My Dad went in the bucket of it to go shopping. It was really funny. We had a great time with Ruen. Unfortunately we had to leave Ruen and go to the other camping site.
We left Cape Valek after a week. We were sad because we made lots of friends there and had great fun. Next we went to Katowice in Poland. We visited Auschwitz concentration camp while we stayed there. It was a huge camp where Jews were gassed in big chambers. It was really sad and we saw all the shoes and bubs, clothes and suitcases left by people who were there. The guide who talked to us was Jewish and her grandmother was killed there. She does this job to show how horrible and cruel it would be if something like this ever happened again. by Ellen in 4th class...to be continued.... The teacher has been able to get a person in Poland to translate this story into Polish. Here it is... (Thank you Mike!) W wakacje moja rodzina
postanowiła wybrać się w podróż po wschodniej europie. Mój tata znał
człowieka z Polski, z którym pracował. Zamierzaliśmy się z nim spotkać i
zatrzymać się u niego na jakiś czas. Kupiliśmy Mercedesa, którym
wyruszyliśmy w podróż. Zabraliśmy też ze sobą brata mojego przyjaciela.
Moja mama nie mogła wyjechać w tym samym czasie co my, i mieliśmy
spotkać się z nią w Brukseli. Zarezerwowaliśmy statek do Liverpoolu i
pożyczyliśmy przyczepę campingową od przyjaciela mojego taty. Rano,
wstaliśmy bardzo wcześnie i wyruszyliśmy do Dublina. Weszliśmy na łódź i
o 6:00 byliśmy już w Liverpoolu. To był dopiero początek naszej podróży.

While
we stayed in Cape-Valec we went to a village called Lades. It had
been
wiped out by Adolf Hitler. All the men got shot and the women went to
the camp-site. Some children that had blue eyes and blond hair were sent
to Germany. When the mothers came back they were expecting their husbands
and their children to be there. There was only 17 children and 18
mothers left still alive. Lades was really sad. We were on our way back
to Cape-Valec when our car broke down at a roundabout. Dad and Shane got
the car towed to the nearest garage. We got a taxi back to the camp-site.
We had to stay there for 3 more days!
