My favourite holiday place in Poland is Kołobrzeg city at the seaside. In Kołobrzeg there is a big lighthouse, there are sandy beaches and sea.It's in the north Poland. You can visited lighthouse, sunbathe on the sandy beaches and swim in the sea.You can also builsandcastles, sail a boat and fish. I like Kołobrzeg because there is the Baltic Sea.

My summer holiday

Kołobrzeg


Sianożęty

I was at the seaside in Sianożęty. The village Sianożęty is near Kolobrzeg. I was in Kolobrzeg and there I visited the peer and the light house. In Sianożęty I often was on the beach.There I sunbathed and collected stones and shells. I swam in the sea.On the beach I played a ball and built sandcastles. When it was cool and rainy, I watched TV, I played cards and I read books. When I was at the seaside , it was sometimes sunny and hot and sometimes it was rainy and windy.

I liked my summer holiday very much.

With multiple sclerosis takes place a process of degeneration of the myelin sheath,  destroyed by the immune system, this can lead to serious disorders, motor or cognitive in nature. The disease usually occurs in young adults the most striking woman and tends to progress over time until you get to complete disability. With this latest research has been  instead discovered a new molecule, called Tace, that helps regulate the activities and operation of the production processes of myelin. The study can be considered as the first step towards the construction of drugs that block the whole multiple sclerosis

The virus 'miracle' is in the sharks


Squalamine, a dogfish shark protein discovered in 1993, functions as a potent antiviral, according to a study at Georgetown University in Washington (USA) published in the journal PNAS.

The compound was known previously for their anticancer properties, as well as excellent results in treating eye diseases. This latest research adds to squalamine the ability to protect cells against virus attack, for example, dengue, hepatitis B and D and yellow fever. The effects have been tested in live animals (rats and mice).

Michael Zasloff is the discoverer of the compound. The study states that squalamine protects against viruses that attack the liver and blood tissue because it is only able to enter in certain cells, including arteries, veins, capillaries and liver cells.

My Summer Holiday by Sara from Poland








Polish students wrote about their summer holiday and the best works you can see in this blog.

Sara wrote:

On my summer holiday I was at the seaside in Croatia and in the Tatras Mountains in south Poland. In Croatia I was in Marusici (in the photo) - I went swimming in the sea, visited some ruins in Dubrownik.

In the Tatras Mountains I climbed some peaks: Giewont (in the photo), Kasprowy Wierch and Świnica. I also climbed to a beautiful mountainous lake Morskie Oko (Sea Eye - in the photo below).

When I was in the mountains I stayed in Zakopane (we call it winter capital city of Poland) and I went to terma pools there.

When I was in Croatia and in the Tatras the weather was sunny and hot all the time.

The school year beginning in Poland

On 1st September 2011 in Poland we started the new school year. At our school we all gathered on the school yard to take part in the ceremony with the head teacher, who welcomed all the students.


1st September is also an anniversary of Second World War outbreak in Poland (it happened in 1939 - Germany attacked Poland) and we remember those terrible days. The WW2 lasted for almost 6 years and in Poland children weren't allowed to go to school then.

For good start class 5b presented the ideal student recipe - it was fun:).

This school year looks very long as it finishes on 29th June 2012 :(

Sara made a photo film from this day.
