Be GITA

Flipbook workshop

In the Fine Arts class, the pupils were introduced to a new method of work - the flipbook. All attention was focused on the pupil and his creativity. The teacher explained the elements of the flipbook and described the process of its creation, while the pupils were responsible for the rest. The workshop turned out to be very interesting, the pupils were diligent and made an effort to tell their stories through the flipbook! The topics of the flipbook were different, from the origin of the flower, the weather, to the sustainability of the marine ecosystem!

Humanitarian action for a children's hospital

The school organized a humanitarian campaign to collect toys and books for children staying in a children's hospital in Rijeka. The pupils showed awareness for their peers who face various difficulties and challenges. They selflessly donated toys and books that they no longer need, and with which they will cheer up many children in the children's hospital. Through the mentioned action, pupils connected and applied knowledge about sustainable development and the need to help the needy.

Diversity is wealth

What would the world be like if people were not different? How can we all differ? What does tolerance mean? These are just some of the questions answered by third-grade students at the workshop entitled "Diversity is wealth!". Students talked about differences, watched a video on the same topic and read stories about tolerant behavior. At the end of the class, they concluded that diversity enriches us, but also that in today's world, diversity brings many challenges!

Biology class in high school

Seventh grade students, accompanied by their Biology teacher, had the opportunity to participate in Biology class at an Italian high school. The students acquired new knowledge about muscles and bones through an interactive lecture, followed by a workshop. The students listened with interest to the lecture of prof. Barbara Kercan. The lessons were also attended by high school students who passed on their knowledge to the younger generation. The method of learning through practical exercises and listening to peers has proven to be very successful! We hope that the collaboration with the high school will continue and that our pupils will learn more interesting things from older pupils from high school!

World Game Day

Yesterday we had a play day! Because of the initiative of the Student Council, our school celebrated the World Game Day. During classes, students played appropriate didactic games, and various tournaments were also organized. This learning method proved to be very effective! From the first to the fourth grade pupils played fotball and border football, while pupils from fifth to eight grade had the opportunity to play Uno, Briškula and chess. A pub quiz was organized for seventh and eighth grade students. Also, a competition was held in the speed of solving the Rubik's cube! During the extended stay, instead of writing homework, the pupils jumped in sacks, pulled the rope, jumped the rubber band, played school, twirled the hula hoop and many other interesting, but unfortunately forgotten games! With this initiative, the Student Council wanted to draw attention to the importance of play for children's development. Let's not forget that play is important for the development of children's social, emotional, physical and cognitive skills. So don't hesitate and take time to play!

Earth Day

Earth Day was celebrated on Monday, April 22. The students did various tasks, all with the aim of strengthening awareness of the importance of preserving our planet. They talked about the behaviors of people that destroy the Earth, but also about the behaviors that contribute to the preservation of the Earth. The subject class watched the documentary "A Life On Our Planet" (2020) by David Attenborough, while the class class made posters and drawings of the Earth. Let's remember that Earth Day is every day, not only on April 22, and that our daily behavior towards the environment is of immense importance!

Problem solving workshop

Seventh-grade students hand a problem-solving workshop. They were tasked with finding out what is one of the most important skills for a 21st century student. In order to come to a solution, they had at their disposal a library, a mobile phone and written sources. Students moved freely around the school and collected clues that led them to finding solutions - problem solving skills. The students tried to be as successful and fast as possible, and the smiles on their faces showed that they had a lot of fun!

First aid

An employee of the Red Cross visited the seventh graders and introduced them to the basics of First Aid. First, the students got acquainted with the theory, then they had the opportunity to show their knowledge in practice. They learned how to react when someone is unconscious, bleeding or suffocating The students showed great interest and resourcefulness!
