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!
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.
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!
Eighth grade pupils had the task of making a poster or a PowerPoint presentation on the topic of sustainable development.

Several important dates were marked this week: Day of people with Down syndrome, Day of Gifted Students, International Day against Racial Discrimination. On the occasion of the mentioned dates, the student council of our school designed the "We are all special" workshop, the goal of which is to promote diversity and tolerance, while respecting each person as unique. The students conducted the workshop in all classes of the school. Also, as a sign of support to the people with Down syndrome pupils wore different socks. Furthermore, the students attending Civic Education created a short puppet show on the topic of racial discrimination. In addition to the above, in order to pay special attention to the Day of the Gifted, the Biology teacher took fifth graders to a field lesson at the Marine Research Center, while eighth graders visited the Vocational Professions Festival in Pazin. Also, on Friday, the school held a “Kangaroo without borders” math competition!
Let's green our hall is the name of one of the activities of the BeGita Erasmus project. Namely, students who attend extracurricular activities Civic upbringing and education (CUE) and Italian cuisine joined forces and greened the school hall with herbs. In addition to the fact that the hall now smells nice, the CUE students thought about sustainable development and entrepreneurship through this activity, because the herbs will be pruned and used in the delicacies prepared by the students at the Italian kitchen. The students jokingly concluded that the situation is definitely profitable because even if the plants wither, all their parts can be used as spices! Among the herbs there was a bit of everything - sage, rosemary, thyme, mint, basil, lemon balm and oregano, which was used on the pizza the next day. Both teachers and all students are proud of this activity, especially those who will enjoy Italian dishes that are unimaginable without aromatic Mediterranean herbs.
Third graders participated in a cake-making workshop at the Domenico Pergolis Home for the Elderly. The users of the Home showed the students how to make the traditional Istrian Cukerančići cakes. Pupils participated in the preparation of cakes, asked questions and made cakes with smiles on their faces. Our pupils returned after a couple of days for the tasting and spent a pleasant time socializing with the users of the home. The cookies were very tasty!
As part of the Croatian language course and teaching unit entitled Poster as a transmitter of information; 5th grade students of our school made posters. By making posters, they actively participated in current events at our school - enrollment in the first grade of elementary school. The students showed their research, creative and entrepreneurial spirit and delighted with their carefully made posters! The students wrote everything that is important to them that a school offers and we can all be proud when we look at what they stated. They also conducted a survey (on a sample of 44 students) and came up with interesting results. We conclude that extracurricular activities are most important for students, followed by being seen on the Internet, food, good teachers and the school's professional service.
