The pupils presented their experiences of working on the eco-project, they asked the employees a number of questions to which they readily answered. Employees of the Municipal Service cleared up the pupils' numerous doubts regarding the proper disposal of waste and agreed to continue cooperation and visit the Gripoli Recycling Yard.
Our school once again demonstrated successful cooperation with the local community and responded to the invitation of the People's Open University. The organizer of the event is the Innolab Foundation, which had the idea to combine the works of talented elementary school pupils from Rovinj on the theme "Rovinj with love". The result of all this was an exhibition that was open to all visitors in the premises of CVU Batana from February 5th to 16th in the period from 10:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.
The music teacher designed an activity in which all pupils can participate, even those who do not have particularly strong musical talents. The teacher created a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere in which pupils can express their emotions with voice and instruments. In this way, pupils develop self-esteem, the expression of their feelings, but also numerous other social skills. Also, the activity is adapted for pupils with disabilities who are also happy to come to the activity.
Civic education pupils, accompanied by their teacher, visited the Agro longo nursery in Rovinj. The employees of the nursery took the pupils around the greenhouses and shop and explained to them the process of obtaining plants from the very beginning and sowing all the way to selling the plant. The employees of the nursery explained to the pupils the eco-growing they use and explained all its benefits. The pupils listened carefully and asked questions about watering, plants and the sale itself. The employees of the nursery invited the pupils for a return visit, where they will be able to try and help the employees in taking care of the plants.

Sixth-grade pupils used their digital competences to organize an Eco action to collect EE waste. This was preceded by an analysis of the school's environmental awareness and a visit to the Municipal Service. The pupils investigated how our school does not have recycling of EE waste and realized that we need one! They took matters into their own hands and decided to organize an Eco action. They made posters to inform all pupils and staff of the school about their eco campaign, which everyone is eagerly waiting for!
On the occasion of the International Day of Education, which we celebrate on January 24, the pupils of Civic Education visited the head of the Administrative Department for Social Activities of the City of Rovinj, Edita Sošić Blažević. In the City Palace, the pupils of 6th grade asked questions and presented their difficulties that they encounter as pupils of the school located in the Old Town, but also as children living in the Old Town. We talked about the possibility of setting up air conditioning in our school, a larger subsidy for school trips for socially disadvantaged children, the ever-current topic of the ice rink at Rovinj Advent, parking for school employees, subsidies for children's train and boat rides in the summer season, outdoor classrooms, traffic in our Street E. de Amicisa, donation of board games... Our pupils proved to be very eloquent and aware citizens of our city. We thank the leaders for their friendliness, kindness and patient answers to our very wide range of questions.
Let's hope that the child's voice will be heard in the future and that we will see some fruits of our visit to the leader.
The pupils of the 6th grades planted guardhouses, which we symbolically named guardhouses. Namely, custard apple belongs to medicinal plants because they have been used in folk medicine since ancient times. In addition to decorating our assembly hall with their beauty and variety of colors and shapes, they have also become guardians of our school!
