Books are meant to be read, but what about them when they become old and in such an edition that they can no longer be read? The solution was found by the pupils of the sixth grade under the guidance of the art teacher! On the old pages of books, they drew rhythm - a person in motion. In the end, they combined all the works on one large paper. Our pupils once again showed how art and sustainable development go perfectly together!
As part of the Erasmus project Be GITA and the Animal Rights teaching unit, our 6th grade pupils from Civic Education visited the houses for free-living cats in our city Rovinj. The pupils fed the cats, donated food and water bowls and took food to them. In agreement with their teacher, the pupils will bring clean water and food to the cats several more times during the year. We are all looking forward to the next meeting!
Pupils Ian Sošić and Nina Džaja, under the mentorship of teacher Karmen Bošnjak Torić, participated in the competition "Italian Film Festival Scuole & Giovani 2024" and won an honorable mention. They competed in the category Italian language – language of the social environment. The pupils made a short film in Italian called "Viva la diversità". The film is about two friends who compare Italian and Croatian culture, and in the end conclude that diversity is a wealth that should be appreciated!
Under the mentorship of art teacher Tonij Žufić, our pupils painted large canvases that will decorate this year's Advent and the corridors of Rovinj's Gandusio Theater. These works, inspired by old noble portraits with Christmas details, will be donated to the People's Open University of Rovinj.
These unique works of art not only showcase the extraordinary skills and creativity of our pupils, but also bring a touch of history and holiday spirit to our city. Each portrait tells its own story, combining the elegance of the past with the warmth and joy of Christmas. The pupils once again gave their contribution and showed that they are active in the work of the local community.
During the Home Economics classes, the pupils showed how one fruit tree can be used in many ways and that throwing older fruit trees in the trash is not the best solution! Instead, we can make a lot of delicious dishes and drinks. So our pupils prepared a puff pastry and apple cake, while they prepared a natural squeezed apple juice for a drink. In addition to the above, they also prepared delicious apple chips!
First grade pupils attended a field lesson in Rovinjsko Selo where they visited numerous “kažune” – little houses of stone, and learned what they were, what they looked like, how they were built and what they were used for. The mentioned visit inspired the first-year pupils for real artistic works. By recycling old newsprint, they built their own “kažun” and thus once again proved that art and sustainable development are an ideal combination!
Pupils of Juraj Dobrila Elementary School and Vladimir Nazor Elementary School Rovinj had a joint meeting on the topic "Exchange of Erasmus experience" and thus marked this year's Erasmus Days. The pupils first introduced themselves, and then they said which countries and places they visited thanks to Erasmus projects. They described the application procedure for student mobility. Furthermore, they reflected on specific mobilities, what they learned there, what they would apply in their school, the advantages and disadvantages of the host school. They also reflected on the way of spending free time on student mobility. The pupils of Dobrila shared with our pupils the good, but also challenging aspects of receiving and leaving the family during mobility. The pupils actively participated and exchanged good experiences and useful tips for future mobility through laughter and socializing. Judging by their comments, they can't wait to indulge in a new adventure and take part in future mobilities.
The 6th grade pupils who attend the extracurricular activity Civic Education visited the recycling yard of our city this Monday. Under the slogan "Get to know me and recycle me", they toured the yard, asked questions and learned about waste recycling. We would like to thank everyone who welcomed us and who keep our city so clean and beautiful. Let's hope that all of us, and especially our pupils, will become more aware of caring for our environment, because it is actually caring for the future of our beautiful, blue planet.
The fifth graders, accompanied by their art teacher, visited the Museum of the City of Rovinj. First, they toured the museum, followed by a creative workshop. The pupils were given the task of using collage to create reproductions of paintings that are kept in the museum. After that, the pupils' works were brought to life by artificial intelligence and delighted everyone present. The pictures, the pupils' work, suddenly came to life and began to sing! It was a real example of the combination of art and technology, all with a dose of children's imagination!
