Our school continues to cooperate with the local community! We joined the humanitarian campaign of the Red Cross for happy children's holidays. For four years now, this humanitarian action has been cheering up children without adequate parental care, children who spend Christmas in the Ruža Petrović Home, in the Majmajola House of Mercy, in the Pula Community Service Center. The aim of the campaign is to cheer up the little ones with a sweet package. The action at our school lasted from December 9 to 13. The pupils brought sweets and diligently made greeting cards all week. The pupils took everything collected to the Red Cross. Thank you to everyone who responded to the campaign and brought laughter to homes for children!
Today we were visited by Rovinjske Njuškice and Istrian de Dignan - two associations that, in cooperation with the City of Rovinj, launched the MIC'CASA project. Sixth grade pupils got to know the project and found out why it is important for their community. This project aims to preserve biodiversity, preserve the environment and protect animals. The representatives of the two associations explained to the pupils what they do specifically, where the houses for insects and feeders for animals were placed, and they also provided them with practical work! Several pupils had the opportunity to build a house for insects! Also, the pupils received notebooks and a calendar of the MIC'CASA project as a gift. Thank you to the associations for visiting. It was an interesting and educational meeting!
The International Anti-Corruption Day is celebrated on December 9. The pupils of our school at Civic Education independently created a game called Pupils, don't corrupt yourself! The game includes cards on which pupils have designed situations that are part of their daily lives in which they have to choose whether to act justly or to choose another path. Depending on the selection, they move forward or backward on the game board. The winner is the one who reaches the finish line first! Through play and entertainment, pupils are encouraged to reflect, but also warned to choose their own moral life path.
On St. Nikola’s day pupils of the 5th A grade who are attending the optional subject of Catholic Religious Education under the guidance of the religion teacher visited the Home for the Elderly "Domenico Pergolis" Rovinj. Trained in St. Nikola, Krampus and their helpers visited the users of the Home and cheered them up with company and conversation, but also distributed candies and paper whips they made themselves. It was another example of cooperation between the school and the Home to the mutual satisfaction of the users of the Home and the pupils!
The sixth graders and their teachers started the project "Environmental awareness of the school". The goal of the project is to activate pupils in creating a sustainable environment and increasing awareness of the importance of sustainable development in everyday life. The pupils visited the Communal Service of the City of Rovinj and heard firsthand how waste is disposed of. Today, they had a workshop in class, with which they started researching the environmental awareness of the school. Pupils first worked individually, then in pairs, and finally in groups. They were given the task of working out how we deal with the following things in school, what are the challenges and possible solutions for handling water, old batteries, waste and paper. Some of the pupils' suggestions were: battery containers, solar panels, recycling bins, using tablets instead of paper, recycling waste at brunch, etc. It was just the beginning of the project, these initial ideas are followed by research and ultimately the initiation of changes in the school lives of pupils, of course in the spirit of sustainable development!

Christmas time is a time of family, giving, decorating and much more. The pupils of our school, under the guidance of the Art teacher, showed how Christmas is also a time to think about planet Earth. Why buy new decorations when you can make them from old items? With a little good will and a little more creativity, the pupils made beautiful decorations and a pine tree, and in addition to the Christmas spirit, they brought the spirit of sustainable development to our school. They made the baskets from the pages of old books and old cardboard boxes that they cut and painted, while the pine is made from chipboard that was intended for waste. Congrats to the pupils and the teacher!
Pupils love technology and the English teacher used this information for motivation and active learning. She introduced the pupils to the "Esl activities" application, which they immediately liked. Each student received his own tablet on which he had the opportunity to practice vocabulary. The teacher showed the pupils how technology can be used for didactic purposes and how playing can actually be learning at the same time. When asked how they like this type of teaching, they answered unanimously: "It's great!".
The Civic Education lesson encouraged our pupils to think, and most of them to change their minds! The teacher designed a lesson that was entirely focused on the pupils and their activity. She managed to combine topics from sustainable development, civic education and technology. The teacher started the class with an auction of two scarves, then they researched on the tablets what second-hand clothing stores are. Then they played the game "Barometer", a kind of debate, in which the pupils moved around the classroom depending on whether they agreed or disagreed with the statement. After that, the teacher announced to them the written bids of the auction and it turned out that the scarf from the second-hand clothing store was more in demand! Of course, the pupils did not know which scarf was new and which was used! The pupils broke a lot of prejudices during today's lesson!
Technology is all around us, children spend a lot of time on cell phones and other digital devices, pointing out how fun it is. On the other hand, pupils often complain that school lessons are uninteresting. What would happen if digital technology and games were implemented in the classroom? The answer came from the pupils of the third and sixth grades who, together with their teachers, tried different digital applications, used mobile phones and computers, but all for educational purposes! Pupils played memory games, puzzles, quizzes, scanned QR codes, listened to songs, completed crossword puzzles, and made posters. They worked individually, in pairs and in groups. Laughter resounded in the classrooms, the pupils were motivated, involved, actively participated in class, had fun and learned a lot!
