The ‘No Littering Lesson’ educational campaign – 4th edition

 The ‘No Littering Lesson’ educational campaign – 4th edition

The ‘No Littering Lesson’ is a nationwide educational campaign organised by the Our Earth Foundation, aimed at schools and running since 2020. Its goal is to promote pro-environmental attitudes and educate students on proper waste segregation. The campaign combines learning with creative fun – participants prepare films, posters, songs and comics promoting the idea of not littering, which helps to develop environmental awareness and shape good environmental habits.

In the fourth edition of the campaign, eighth-grade students actively participated in the activities by preparing posters encouraging care for the environment.

Job shadowing in Favria, Italy.

 Ms Diana Hodyr, deputy principal, and Ms Barbara Tarnowska-Mazan began a partnership visit to a primary school in Favria (Italy), as part of the “job shadownig” of the Erasmus+ programme. Its aim is to exchange good practices and to increase knowledge on how to better function for pupils with learning difficulties in a public school.















JOB SHADOWING BY TEACHERS FROM TURKEY

 On 26th May we welcomed to our school two vice-principals of schools and an English teacher from Turkey, who are visiting us as part of the ‘job shadowing’ activity of the Erasmus+ programme. Our guests toured the school, told us about their home schools and brought us ice cream, which did not melt throughout their journey as it was transported in dry ice - it was also an interesting physical experience for Class III and a delicious treat for Class VII! Class IV received named letters - this will be the start of an exchange of correspondence.



























A MOBILITY TO CROATIA

 

A MOBILITY TO CROATIA

 

 Back in May, our students visited their Croatian friends. The visit coincided with an international exchange with students from Spain, which made the meeting even more special.

The first day started with a ceremonial welcome, after which we had a tour of the modern school and took part in an educational escape room in the library. We then participated in a workshop using 3D printers and recorded interviews for the school's website. In the afternoon, we watched artistic performances - a play about King Tomislaw and a concert by students from the local music school. There was plenty of dancing and chatting together during the breaks.

On the second day, we participated in lessons conducted in Croatian - it was a big challenge, but also a great learning opportunity. Together we made bracelets and created improvised theatre scenes. In the afternoon we went to the town hall, where we met the deputy mayor and learned about the history of Koprivnica. A walk around the town and a picnic in the park rounded off the day. In the evening we took part in a ceremony to elect the best eighth grade in all of Koprivnica - our friends from OS Podolice won, which prompted thunderous applause.

On the third day we took a trip to Zagreb - where we participated in an exciting city game, visited museums and spent time at the zoo. We ended the day with shopping and saying goodbye to the Spanish participants.

Thursday was spent in Ludbreg, where we took part in a robotics workshop, visited a museum and visited the Sanctuary of the Most Precious Blood of Jesus - one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Croatia. In the evening, we had a party together by the pool - there was dancing, singing, thanks and a lot of fun.

The last day was a solemn farewell - one last dance together, exchange of contacts, tears of emotion and promises that this is only the beginning of friendship.

The Erasmus+ exchange turned out to be much more than an educational programme. These were days full of emotions, new experiences, learning and mutual understanding. The students had the opportunity to see the world from a different perspective, to open up to new cultures.
