Primary School de Wadden is actually at two locations in Haarlem, The Netherlands. The Molenwijk location is the building who participated in this project.  The class is Mr. Rene's sixth grade class. The students really enjoyed this project for many reasons including getting to go visit and learn about many historical buildings in Haarlem, getting to exchange travel buddies with two schools from two other countries, and getting to interview several famous and important people who represent Haarlem and The Netherlands on an International level.  Haarlem is the capital city of the provence Noord Holland. Haarlem is about 15 miles away from Amsterdam, the capital city of our country The Netherlands. In Haarlem, about 140,000 people are living there. It has many historical buildings and museums, of which you will read about in this project.

Cannelton, Indiana, USA is a small rivertown on the banks of the Ohio River and boasts many historical sites.   Cannelton students enjoyed learning the culture of both The Netherlands and Japan. Highlights include the holidays, celebrations and traditions we shared. Specific activities we shared were songs, travel buddies, and reports on our various historical sites in each of our cities. It has truly been an enriching experience for us all! We hope to continue our exchanges in the future..

Hiyoshi, a village in Mizunami of Japan, is the city in the mountain in almost the middle of Japan. Mizunami-shi is famous for earthware. The industry of Mizunami has been continued from ancient times. We heard from our parents that before our school was combined, there were three Elementary schools in Hiyoshi. We are very interested in the schools, so we decided to investigate about the schools before our school was built in 1883. So we did, and you can read our report in this project. We have enjoyed this project and enjoyed exchanging travel buddies with The Netherlands and USA. We hope you enjoy this too.
