Playground games for kids Posted by Kasia on Jul 28, 2011
I’m not sure if kids still play games like this outside, but these are the games I remember when I was small. The games are very simple, easy to prepare and learn and lots of fun. To play the first two games: “Niebo i Piekło” and “klasy” one need just a bit of the pavement (asfalt)…
Kolory tęczy Posted by Kasia on Jul 27, 2011
A rainbow (tęcza) can be defined as a band of colors (zespół kolorów) (from red on the inside to violet on the outside) assembled as an arc that is formed by reflection and refraction (or bending) of the sun’s rays inside raindrops.

Grace before meal? Posted by Kasia on Jul 26, 2011
Some people say grace before meal (modlitwa przed jedzeniem). If it a tradition in your home I wanted to share with you few different prayers you can say. Drogi Panie Jezu, siądź przy stole z nami, jak kiedyś siadałeś ze swymi uczniami. Pobłogosław nas i te wszystkie dary, za które dzięki składamy bez miary. Niechaj…

Today I wanted to suggest another great place to visit in Poland. Krynica Zdrój is a town in the Lesser Poland Voivodship. It lies in the valleys of four streams: the Kryniczanka, Palenica, Slotwinka and Czarny. The altitude above sea level ranges from 560 m to 720 m. Krynica is surrounded on three sides by…
Early transatlantic flights Posted by Kasia on Jul 19, 2011
An interesting chapter in Polish aviation history (see https://blogs.transparent.com/polish/polish-aviation-and-its-history/) involves transatlantic flight (transatlantycki lot). By 1928 pilots (piloci) had successfully flown planes nonstop from North America to continental Europe. But the feat (wyczyn, osiągnięcie) had not been accomplished from Europe to North America, in the east to west direction, either solo (indywidualnie) or accompanied. It was a…
