First few days ...

The students have so far had the Written Response Test and the Fieldwork day. They have also been on an excursion to Torzhok ... Photos to follow. The fieldwork was a whole day out around a town on the banks of the Volga River, it was raining for part of the day but they managed to get most of the fieldwork done in the dry.
In the evening was a song festival with some traditional Russian folk songs. Other students also contributed to the singing.
This morning the students are working on the writing up of some of the fieldwork and this afternoon we have a trip to Tver. Photos to follow....
