Be GITA

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

In Biology class, students had the opportunity to practice resuscitation on a human-sized doll! 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!

Mobility to Barcelona

The teachers of Vladimir Nazor Elementary School Rovinj participated in the mobility activity of the Erasmus+ project 'Be GITA!', in which they visited Charles Darwin Elementary School in Barcelona. Teachers of English, French and Italian and a computer science teacher participated in the project. The teachers followed the classes and observed similarities and differences in teaching, work and achievement of results.

Green Kahoot

Eighth grade pupils had the task of making a Kahoot on the topic of sustainable development. The pupils showed interest in the offered topic, researched the most important information and created a quiz from it. They showed how well they handle technology, but also that this method is great for getting their peers interested. We hope that our pupils will apply what they have learned on the quiz in practice!

Limski kanal

Pupils of Civic Education visited the Lim channel and the shellfish farm. After an interesting and instructive education about growing and selling shellfish, they went by boat to the farm. From shellfish, they saw oysters and mussels and heard about the benefits and difficulties that shellfishers encounter in their work. They were particularly interested in the link between entrepreneurship and ecology. Sunbathed by the sun and accompanied by the smell of the sea, they left the Lim Channel until another opportunity.

Learning Balun

The third grades started a cooperation with the Rovinj Pensioners' Association. Users of the Pensioners' Association come once a week to the Physical and Health Culture class and teach the pupils how to dance the traditional Istrian dance Balun. In the beginning, it was difficult for the pupils to follow their new teachers, but they quickly picked up the steps and started dancing! Pupils and users of the Home will continue their dance lessons until the pupils learn to dance the Balun independently!

Green posters

Eighth grade pupils had the task of making a poster or a PowerPoint presentation on the topic of sustainable development. The pupils showed interest in the offered topic, found the most important information and presented it to the rest of the class.
