There is another beautiful sunny day to start of the great day. My parents and I went to the hotel’s restaurant, Cucina an Italian restaurant where I saw my friends. During our breakfast we ate a lot of things like orange juice, apple juice, strawberries, waffles, cucumbers, bread, chocolate crasaunt, and fruit. Then we went to lobby to wait for everyone. We went on the bus with the teachers.
We went to the YEREVAN SCHOOL. We met the fifth grade students in the school and we said our names what grade we were and what we like to do. We also told about our school and the subjects we learn. Then we played basketball in their gym. There were two teams and we played basketball in a different way. When we finished playing basketball, we went to wash our hands and we went to eat lunch. We wrote our e-mails at the end of the lunch time and we got a picture in the school and in the front of the school.
We went in the bus and we got ready to go to the Armenia Tree Project Education Center in Karin. We saw beautiful green trees around me and a huge tent. We went inside and we met some people. They greeted us and we made a bride. Then we made a circle and we played a game. In the game you had to give a name for example tree and the player next to her had to name something similar to the name. We each got an apple. My apple was yellow. Then, a person named Samuel showed us how to plant a tree. When he finished explaining it was our turn to plant a tree. Then another person who’s name is Dikran showed us around the trees. Next, he showed us the mini greenhouse of trees and the greenhouse of trees. We had a picture next to the flowers. Then, we went back to the tent and we made groups from the colored paper apples. We went inside a house and we saw a poster and on top of the poster it said Building Bridges. Someone named Alla told us that we needed o draw he poster and color it. When we finished coloring the poster every group introduced their poster and then we washed our hands and went outside to eat. When we finished eating we went on the bus to go to Alexander Tamanyan’s Statue.
When we got to the statue our tour guide Garine told us a lot of things about Alexander Tamanyan. He was an architecture who drew Yerevan. He was born in 1878 in Moscow, Russia. He got his scholarship in Moscow and he started architecting buildings in Moscow. In 1924 to 1926 during the Soviet Union he architected the lines in Yerevan. We saw his architecting of Yerevan and it was really amazing. Then, we went inside of the cascade and saw amazing things and we went up some of the stairs and went outside and it was really-really beautiful. We took a picture and went downstairs from outside. We went in the bus and went back to the hotel and got ready for dinner. It was a really fun day.
