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!
The city library hosted 5th and 6th grade pupils on the occasion of Croatian Libraries Day. On that occasion, pupils listened to oral Istrian folk stories. About dragons, giants, fairies, dragons and golden geese, narrated by writer Aleksandar Bančić. Then, in the Croatian language class, they practiced retelling those stories. Pupils learned a lot of interesting and new stories through cooperation with the local community and an active approach to learning!
In October, sixth grade pupils attended extracurricular classes in Buzet. There they visited the Karlić Museum - the only truffle museum in Croatia and went truffle hunting. In addition, pupils studied the Law on Environmental Protection and the Rulebook on Mushroom Picking during the Civic Education class.
Today we were visited by the Association of the Blind of the Istrian County, more precisely its president and his entourage. They held appropriate workshops in the fourth and eighth grades. They told how blindness occurs, how blind people get an education, find their way in everyday life and numerous other topics that interested our pupils. The part of the workshop that impressed the pupils the most was showing and trying out the aids intended for blind people. Others were surprised by the variety of aids and games. This is how the pupils saw a mobile phone, chess, a calculator, and a typewriter for blind people for the first time. There were also aids such as a color identifier, an egg doneness identifier, a talking wristwatch and many other aids. Thank you to the Association for the visit and for the reminder that we are all unique, different, but equally valuable!
Pupils from 5th to 8th grade had the opportunity to participate in an original computer science lesson through the escape room concept. This innovative approach to learning enabled young participants to explore the secrets of the Adriatic Sea through fun and creative tasks, decipher hidden messages and use artificial intelligence tools, all in an interactive atmosphere with the help of invisible markers and UV light. Escape room as a form of teaching has shown how pupils can learn in a way that encourages creativity, teamwork and the application of new technologies, thus creating an unforgettable and exciting classroom.
Učenici sedmih razreda dobili su zadatak da uz pomoć tableta istraže o različitim glazbenim žanrovima i glazbenim utjecajima: od klasične do elektroničke glazbe. Učiteljica ih je podijelila u grupe, a oni su motivirano odradili zadani zadatak. Korištenje tableta omogućilo im je da istražuju o glazbi, ali i da ju poslušaju. Učenici su bili spretni u korištenju tableta te su uspješno obavili zadatak!
Our school continues to cooperate with the local community! We joined the humanitarian campaign of the Red Cross for happy children's holidays. For four years now, this humanitarian action has been cheering up children without adequate parental care, children who spend Christmas in the Ruža Petrović Home, in the Majmajola House of Mercy, in the Pula Community Service Center. The aim of the campaign is to cheer up the little ones with a sweet package. The action at our school lasted from December 9 to 13. The pupils brought sweets and diligently made greeting cards all week. The pupils took everything collected to the Red Cross. Thank you to everyone who responded to the campaign and brought laughter to homes for children!
Today we were visited by Rovinjske Njuškice and Istrian de Dignan - two associations that, in cooperation with the City of Rovinj, launched the MIC'CASA project. Sixth grade pupils got to know the project and found out why it is important for their community. This project aims to preserve biodiversity, preserve the environment and protect animals. The representatives of the two associations explained to the pupils what they do specifically, where the houses for insects and feeders for animals were placed, and they also provided them with practical work! Several pupils had the opportunity to build a house for insects! Also, the pupils received notebooks and a calendar of the MIC'CASA project as a gift. Thank you to the associations for visiting. It was an interesting and educational meeting!
The International Anti-Corruption Day is celebrated on December 9. The pupils of our school at Civic Education independently created a game called Pupils, don't corrupt yourself! The game includes cards on which pupils have designed situations that are part of their daily lives in which they have to choose whether to act justly or to choose another path. Depending on the selection, they move forward or backward on the game board. The winner is the one who reaches the finish line first! Through play and entertainment, pupils are encouraged to reflect, but also warned to choose their own moral life path.
