Clean Air Day and Drama by EKOSKOP

Students of Year 3 took part in a show given by Katarzyna Ruszała from EKOSKOP. She told a story about a family of foxes, who lived in the forest. One day The Grandpa built a house nearby, threw away rubbish and his not eco frindly house produced SMOG. Animals in the forest did not feel very well, but they tried to teach The Grandpa the coulours of recycling and ecological way of living. Students were very interested and discussed the problem of proper rubbish segregation and ways of decresing the smog.

We believe that ecological education of young generations is crucial nowadyas.

GREEN ECO-ACADEMY

 As part of the Green Eco-Academy project, a Chemistry teacher invited the pupils of Class 2a to play through experiments. Fascinated by the equipment in the ecology and nature laboratory, the children listened attentively to the instructions of teacher teaching the older classes chemistry and observed the chemical and physical reactions taking place in simple experiments with water, baking soda, vinegar and oil. The unusual nature lesson provided the second-graders with interesting insights, introduced them to scientific issues and the names of the objects used in the experiments.  

YOUTH COUNCIL IN OUR COMMUNE

 On 7 November, 2003, the first inaugural meeting of the Youth Council of the Świlcza Commune was held.

Councillors from across the commune met at the library in Trzciana, where they were familiarised with the details of the Council's work, its statute and the most important regulations governing the operation of this body.

The aim of the meeting was also to get to know each other's councillors and to present their own ideas, concepts and projects.

The first session of the Council will take place on 12 December, 2023, during which the Presidium of the Council - i.e. its authorities - will be elected.

The councillors representing our school and locality are: Klaudia Kula, Kamila Kunysz and Szymon Szydełko.

A FILM IS NOT JUST A STORY

 On 28 November, pupils from classes 1 to 3 took part in a workshop run by the Centre for Film Education entitled "Your voice sounds familiar, or a journey through the world of dubbing". During the lesson, the children learnt what cues are, film dubbing and what a recording studio looks like. Together with a professional actor, they performed diction exercises and had the opportunity to discover who lends their voice to well-known film characters. At the end of the workshop, the pupils watched an animated film entitled." A film is not just a story". The colourful tale

made the pupils realise that the film was not just a story. The colourful story made us realise that you don't have to be "super" to be a good, helpful and valuable person.

CRITICAL THINKING

 "Tuesdays with Mr. Cogito".

On November 21, Class VIII participated in a very interesting event, organized at the University of Rzeszow. It was devoted to considering whether thinking calculates. The students also learned the secrets of business, listened to interesting lectures by invited guests, including a representative of Asseco Poland. At the end, they took part in a knowledge quiz, in which Szymek Szydełko won as many as two prizes, including one for solving the most difficult task in mathematics. The conclusion is one - it is worth thinking, and FAIL - First Attempt In Learning, is just the way to achieve success!

LEGO EDUCATION AND STEM

 This school year we are continuing our programming lessons with LEGO® Learning under the principle of 'learning through play'.

LEGO Education offers a wide range of suggestions for a STEM educational model with material tailored to students of all ages and abilities. By enabling the development of creativity, collaboration and critical thinking, the self-confidence of the youngest is strengthened and useful competences for adult life are shaped.

LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Essential sets encourage students in grades 1-3 to learn science. By building, constructing and programming, children develop their mathematical and analytical skills. Adapted from current learning standards, the lesson modules are based on real-life issues and use minifigures that children can identify with. The LEGO building blocks that children are familiar with are an excellent basis for creative problem solving, storytelling and help to develop language skills.

 Computer science and IT education lessons with the Photon robot at our school

The interdisciplinary robot Photon is perfect for every level of education - from kindergarten to secondary school! It helps us to learn core competences and makes the teaching of specific topics more attractive. Working with the Photon robot, pupils develop their programming skills by implementing the programmes they have created. It has 4 levels of difficulty, which can be introduced at different stages of education.
