Our world has succumbed to the epidemic that is spreading rapidly with each passing day. People had to stay in their homes for months to stay protected from the epidemic for a long time. As a result of vaccines and treatments found after a long time, life started to slowly return to normal.

Teacher Daniela took the package from the post office. She called all the children in the class and told them they had a surprise from abroad. They read the sender's address on the package envelope. Together they searched the map for Turkey, where the package came from. Teacher Daniel introduced the children to Osman's mascot. The children communicate with him immediately. They looked at the plan of Osman's trip to Slovakia. With the mascot, they tried out the route on the arrows and completed them to the finish line. They really liked the game. To learn more about Turkey, they looked at videos and photographs prepared by teacher Daniel. Some children visited Turkey with their parents. They shared experiences from this beautiful landscape.
Together, we thought about the questions that the children and teacher Özlem ECE asked. Kids have a lot of favorite games. They love lego, sports, dance, they like to play theater, but they like to do activities on the code board. There is a lot of snow in our country in winter. Then the children build snowmen, ski and skate. They visit ski resorts. The most famous is in the High Tatras, which is an important place of tourism in Slovakia. We answered Osman many more questions.
We agreed that we would also like to visit Turkey. Osman helped Daniel and showed the children photos and video from all the schools in the project. The children were thrilled to be doing tasks together with the Turkish children.
Osman will be in Slovakia for a while. The children are preparing a souvenir for Osman. They take care of him every day and it will be difficult to say goodbye to him. However, teacher Daniel explains to them that everyone has only one home. Osman must return to his friends and family. We send heartfelt greetings from Slovakia to students and teachers.
So happy journey friend Osman!
