ABOUT LATVIAN CHILDREN   We wished their arrival to come in order to see how they were. Thursday, April 18th when we arrived at school there were row in front of the door. Suddenly we saw a very white face and yellow hair under a hat... What is he doing with a hat if it is very early and the sun is not shinning? Ah! He is Latvian. We did not remember that they had arrived the evening before. They all were happy but a little ashamed.   In the playground, at breaktime, all the school was surrunded them. The boys played football with us. Martins always knew where the ball was going to fall and he hit it with his head. At the beginning we thought that they were strange, unknwon and ugly but afterwars we realised that they were not as we imagined them they look very much like us.... Thay were our school pride! We have communicate ourselves in English, although are beginners. One boy in our classroom can speak German and spoke to one of the teacher who knew the language too.         We were very happy when they arrived,. We were very sad when they left because some were crying. We said goodbye to them with the hope that we are going to see each other again.   5th level (10/11 years old)
